New Products: 2023 IOM TT Arai RX-7V EVO

PB — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 20:00:20 +0000

Arai has long marked its commitment to the event – and each TT – by releasing a very special version of its RX-7 racing helmet, with paintwork designed by the legendary Drudi Performance. Beautiful and extremely collectible, the Arai IoM TT is a sell-out every year.

There’s nothing like the Isle of Man TT in the world. A spectacular celebration of motorcycling raced over 37.73 miles of real roads, it draws competitors and fans from all around the globe.

It’s also an event that courses through Arai’s DNA; many off the TT racers wear Arai for the performance, protection and comfort at high speeds that the brand’s helmets offer, while Arai puts great effort into supporting all Arai wearers in the Isle with service and spares.

The 2023 design, as last year, is based on the range-topping RX-7V EVO helmet with ECE R22-06 approval.

The new design is simply stunning, mixing tradition with modernity. Classic Black, Red and White paint lays down the base, with a bright splash of fluor yellow on the sides housing Ellan Vannin (Isle of Man in Mananese) subtly picked out.
