Arai RX-7X

The Arai Isle of Man TT Limited Edition 2024 returns, marking the 15th anniversary of the Japanese company’s dedication to the event.

Arai had produced an IoM TT version since 2008, only missing in 2020 and 2021 when the race itself was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This new version utilises the sublime Arai RX-7X Evo and features the iconic IoM and TT symbols, such as the Triskelion (Three Legs of Men), the term “Ellan Vannin” (which means Isle of Man in Manx), and TT logo. The thematic colours on the helmet follows what the TT has used on since it returned from the pandemic. Famous helmet designer Aldo Drudi arranged the palette of white, red, and various shades of blue and orange in neo-retro style.

Akihito Arai, Arai Helmet Europe B.V. Managing Director, said: “This is always a special moment for all of us at Arai Helmet and the 2024 RX-7X Limited Edition EVO IoM TT is absolutely amazing. Drudi Performance has excelled and created something so fresh, yet with all the elements of the design that fans and collectors expect. We had no idea when we started 15 years ago how important every year’s special TT helmet would become to so many people. All I can say now is – roll on next year’s TT!”

Looks like Arai fans in Malaysia have something to look forward to!

 

The RX-7X Hayden Reset is the latest helmet that pays homage to the MotoGP legend introduced by Arai for the new year.

  • Arai pays homage to the late Nicky Hayden with the latest RX-7X Hayden Reset.
  • The helmet features Hayden’s iconic number 69. 

The helmet bears Hayden’s permanently-retired number 69 on full display that also features a red, white and black livery.

Please note that while the number 69 is a reference to Hayden’s career in MotoGP, it was also a number he inherited from his father. After multiple wins in his 13 years in the world championship, Hayden was inducted into the hall of fame with his number permanently retired.

Similar to every Arai’s top-of-the-range helmet, the RX-7X Hayden Reset is a track-ready helmet that meets the latest FIM Homologation and ECE22.06. 

Arai crafted the helmet from their PB-SNC2 fibreglass material, which is shaped to Arai’s standard. 

The Arai RX-7X Hayden Reset also has a Pinlock fog-proof visor as standard. That said, the Arai RX-7X Hayden Reset comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from XS to XL and is priced at JPY66,000 (RM2.1k). 

Arai RX-7X Takumi is the latest addition to the Japanese brand’s proven signature race helmet line up.

Kit tersebut berfungsi dengan melancarkan laluan udara daripada bahagian belakang helmet kepada bahagian ‘aero hump’ di bahagian belakang pelumba.

Rekaan baharu ini lebih efisien berbanding prototaip yang dihasilkan sebelum ini oleh pelumba yang mengenakan helmet Arai.

Arai turut mendakwa kit tersebut akan memberi kesan lebih menonjol ketika dalam kelajuan tinggi.

Kit aerodinamik itu didatangkan dengan enam warna pilihan; putih, hitam, putih kaca, hitam kaca, hitam flat dan light smoke.
