The Arai RX-7V is the latest model in Arai’s flagship series of helmets. It’s one of the most advanced street helmets on the market today with a host of features that make it as stylish as it is protective.
Features and benefits of the RX-7V
The RX-7V is designed around a new generation of visor system, outer shell and inner shell. The visor system adopts an ESP (Extended Shield Protection) structure that features a wider area on the upper edge of the shield to provide more protection from foreign objects in case of a collision or spill.
The RX-7V’s outer shell has been completely redesigned for improved aerodynamics and wind noise reduction. It also includes an innovative ventilation system with 12 vents positioned across three different areas – chin vent, cheek pad vents and head liner vents – which provides good air flow throughout each helmet style within the range.
Cool Max® Interior
Cool Max® is an innovative fabric that is designed to be breathable and comfortable. Cool Max® is a proprietary material that’s used in the interior of Arai helmets. It’s a breathable, lightweight material that can be used in conjunction with leather or cloth for maximum comfort. Cool Max® is hypoallergenic and can be washed without damage to its fibers.
Interior Design & Pattern
The Cool Max® liner is made from a high-performance, moisture-wicking fabric that helps keep you dry and comfortable. It also wicks heat away from your body, which is great because this helmet can get warm in the summer months.
The Arai RX-7V’s interior design and pattern are what set it apart from other helmets on the market. The facial contour system (FCS) makes sure your chin fits perfectly into the chin bar, while diffuser type 12 streamlines airflow through the cheek pads to make sure they stay cool when you’re riding at speed. The Vas Shield System works together with its base plate system to protect against wind buffeting while also ensuring clear visibility in all conditions — rain or shine!
FCS® (Facial Contour Support) System
The FCS® (Facial Contour Support) System is a unique Arai technology that controls the position of the helmet on the rider’s head.
The basic idea behind FCS is that there are several support structures around your face, and these structures are designed to fit your contours. They help maintain a constant distance between your face and the helmet shell, which means that if you wear a certain helmet for years, it will fit just as well each time you put it on. The result is a stable fit regardless of how long it’s been since you last wore that particular helmet—a rare feature among motorcycle helmets!
The new Diffuser Type 12 featured in this RX-7V model has been redesigned to increase cooling efficiency while reducing air resistance when worn at speed.
Outer shell
The shell is made from a combination of carbon fiber and aramid fiber. Arai has used this advanced material to create a lightweight, strong outer shell that is aerodynamically shaped to reduce drag.
Facial Contour System (FCS)
Facial Contour System (FCS) is a new type of helmet system that provides the best fit and comfort. It’s based on over 35 years of Arai experience to provide a better fit, more comfort and better safety.
FCS consists of three different types of pads:
- The Inner Liner Padding is made from soft fabric that conforms to your face. The plush material cushions your head and makes for a comfortable ride even in hot weather conditions.
- The Outer Liner Padding is made from firm foam, which creates an airtight seal between you and your Arai helmet’s shell. This helps ensure maximum stability while riding as well as decreased wind noise when traveling at speed!
Diffuser Type 12
The new Arai RX-7V is equipped with a Diffuser Type 12 system, a new generation of air diffuser that offers improved aerodynamics and stability. It also has a unique shape to prevent wind buffeting around the helmet.
VAS Shield System
The new “VAS Shield System” is a variable axis system that allows the shield to be positioned at multiple locations along the base plate. This gives a greater range of motion, which makes it easier to find the optimal position for maximum comfort and vision. The VAS has an improved shield locking mechanism, allowing the shield to be locked in place with just one hand instead of two hands on each side. An improved seal ensures fog-free performance and an easy removal process when changing out facesheets or cleaning your helmet.
Pedestal System X-7 Brow Ventilation Scoop & Exhaust Vent
The X-7 Brow Ventilation Scoop and Exhaust Vent are designed to provide superior ventilation. The X-7 Brow Ventilation Scoop is a large, circular opening that is positioned in front of the rider’s eyes. It can be opened or closed through the use of a button on top of the helmet.
When open, it allows cool air to flow into your helmet for better temperature regulation and makes it easier for you to see behind yourself when riding at night. The exhaust vent also has two positions: fully closed or fully open position as well as an intermediate position between them both (halfway). This allows riders who need more airflow while riding at speed but don’t want as much air being pushed towards them while sitting still when stopped at lights or waiting in traffic.
Visors – VAS Shield & Base Plate System – PB SNC2™ Plus Pinlock® 120
The VAS Shield & Base Plate System allows you to easily switch out the shield in your Arai RX-7V to fit a wide range of riding environments. The Pinlock® 120 insert comes included with the helmet, but can also be purchased separately for owners of older Arai helmets that did not come with this feature.
The Pinlock® system has two basic components: the lens and an insert (which goes into the face shield). These two pieces work together to prevent fogging inside your helmet. The lens is made from special plastic and contains tiny bubbles of air; it’s what helps prevent fogging when it’s cold outside. The insert is made from silicone rubber and fits inside your face shield; it creates an airtight seal between both sides so that no moisture can pass through
The Arai RX-7V is not just a helmet, it’s a work of art created in pursuit of perfection.
The Arai RX-7V is a high-end helmet with a very loyal fan base. It’s a race inspired helmet that has been developed to incorporate the most advanced technology and materials available. The RX-7V is the summit of Arai’s knowledge, experience and know-how in helmet technology, which makes it stand out from all other helmets on the market.
