Great lid
23 March 2025 by Martin W
Great product as you’d expect from both Arai and Sports Bike Shop. Nice fitting, lightweight helmet. Good visibility, low wind noise. Excellent service from Ian at Sports Bike Shop Boston, helping to select and ensure good fitment. Great service being able to try and buy in-store and get delivered to home address so you can enjoy a ride out and do some retail therapy knowing you can get what you need and get it delivered.
ARAI says it all really. One of the safest brands on the market if not the best. Really good fit. With good visibility. I got this at a great price and delivered really quickly
Recent price reduction on plain colour led to my purchase to replace my Arai Quantic, although I did try other brands before settling on the RX7. Usual Arai quality, comfort and most importantly fit clinched it for me. However, you must put up with Arai's quirkiness with visor removal. Was it worth the extra couple of hundred quid over the Quantic - No way, that's why I only give 4*
Having owned a 2013 RX7gp by Arai which was until now the best lid I have ever had, the RX7Vevo has raised the bar again. Arai lids fit me better than Shoei, it's always been that way. I started with a Quantum2 back in the 90s and I've had Arai ever since. More recently a Chaser hutchy rep which being a good lid wasn't quite up the the RX7 perfection. The new RX7Vevo is refined, lighter and in the race rep models spectacular in finish. These lids can be a little noisy this is the only down side I can report of - in the interest of offering a worth while review. The new visor system is good, pin lock recess is good and ventilation as with all RX7s is excellent. Sizing fits well across the Arai range as usual.
Sportsbikeshop offer the diffuser as a freebie when ordering and next day delivery
Best quality helmet on the market. Great service as always from Sportsbikeshop

ARAI RX7 EVO,in my opinion the best out there !!
10 August 2024 by Michael O
this is my 3rd ARAI and the first RX7V undoubtedly saved me from a serious head injury when a !!@@cc car just entered a dual carriageway without looking !! I hit the road at about 70 mph and suffered a few fractures as a result!! from the box, this Arai fits me like a glove and you just have to take a careful look as to just how this quality helmet is built and assembled !!, absolutely the best out there !!, ok maybe a bit pricey at $935.00 but sportsbikeshop included a smoked visor and a rear diffuser !!, there may be cheaper out there but ask your self this question !! Do you want the best out there and how much do you value your mind hey !! Sportsbikeshop again excelled in their quick delivery and customer service being a many times customer of them can't fault them as I give this 5 stars for the ARAI and for the quality service that you get with SPORTS BIKE SHOP the one-stop place for all of gear for us to safe as we can
First time wearing an Arai, and wow. So comfortable and can feel the quality. Ventilation is excellent and so effective, well worth the money. First class service by SBS ?
I have had Arai helmets all my biking life 34 years! I had the RX-7V model previously but the new evo is a step up. Whilst is is hard to see the differences it is a perfect fit for me and has improved in the ventilation and quietness areas which is amazing achievement.
Top of the line arai I now see why people rate them so highly, the fit is perfect for me the venting is great and it's quieter than my xlite 803 rs that I just replaced .
Next day delivery from sportsbikeshop fantastic 5 stars
Last few helmets have been Arai, supper comfortable, lots of ventilation and quite, highly recommend and well worth the money. Also really easy to fit my comms into the helmet.
Very happy with the style and quality of this helmet. Very comfortable like all arai helmets. Another quality product from sportsbikeshop.

Arai RX-7V EVO Spirit Gold
02 June 2024 by Martin G
Cracking helmet with great features, looks stunning. Superb fit, loads of cooling vents, price is a little hefty but you get what you pay for. One down side, wish it had a quick release chin strap, old d ring style can be a little fiddly but a minor complaint

Tatsuki Rep

Really pleased with it. One of the best lids you can buy hands down. The quality compared to a Bell is night & day. Love the graphics.
I've upgraded my Arai RX-7 to the evo model. I have been an Arai man most of my biking life. This new model is an upgrade and superb. I'm very happy with the design which matches my Urban Tiger perfectly. It even came with a free aero spoiler.

The combined systems offer excellent and efficient ventilation. The top duct provides 11% more airflow, with bigger switches for effortless operating, while the lowered side-air channels guide air from the cheek pad area to the side ducts. The diffuser is 20mm longer with improved aerodynamics, and 19% larger intake scoops, both work together with the Air Wing to improve stability. The chin cover blocks air intrusion and draws more air from the mouth area.
PB-SNC² Shell
Peripherally Belted Structural Net Composite. Arai's proprietary (super fibre belt) peripheral belt, borrowed from their F1 technology, maximises shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight. Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band allows the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhance the upward field-of-view - especially appreciated in a full racing tuck! The Structural Net Composite adds a physical bond to the resin bond of the many layers of fibres and reinforcing materials within the shell
VAS V MV Visor
VAS Max Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding. Comes standard with cleaner antifog Pinlock insert to be installed as needed
Chin Curtain
Attached to the bottom of the helmet, the chin curtain helps to further accentuate the egg-shape form. The curtain simultaneously block air intrusion from turbulent air below and increases negative pressure to enhance the exhaust function of FFS by drawing more air from the mouth area. The improved airflow reduces noise even further
Antimicrobial Liner Material
Helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin and antibacterial consumption. With the aim of a softer, deeper and even more comfortable fit, Arai developed a softer liner frame material. The liner also has adjustable temple padding that allows for a customised fit
Full Support Interior
To offer an even better snug fit and enhancing the comfort to the lower jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS) works with a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses and rebounds, providing the necessary support without excessive pressure
If there's one brand you can rely on in the fast moving world of motorcycling, it's Arai. Since 1937, this family owned company has committed itself to one goal, making the very best helmet possible.
Arai have consistently provided the ultimate in motorcycle helmet safety, comfort and quality thanks to over 20 years of effort in MotoGP, World Superbike and every other conceivable form of motorcycle racing, at all levels.

There truly is no such thing as a cheap Arai helmet.
So while many things change, one truth will always remain. If you want the ultimate motorcycle crash helmet there is only one choice, Arai Helmets.
