The Arai RX-7 It is one of the most popular helmets on the market despite its somewhat high price. First it was the "plain" RX-7, then the RX-7 RR, followed by the RX-7 Corsair. After five years of success in the market, now it is time for the renewal, an update that comes through the new RX-7 GP, recently presented in Barcelona.

According to the Japanese brand, the RX-7 GP is a helmet brand new, for whose design and manufacture has been started from scratch. They also say that it is the most tested helmet in the world, since for its design data have been taken from both the pilots who use Arai in the different international competitions and the brand's test pilots, who have covered thousands of kilometers with the prototypes.

The new RX-7 GP draws attention to the eye for its rear spoiler, an adjustable piece in inclination that has five positions to avoid turbulence. As Arai also indicates, thanks to this piece a higher top speed. Compared to the Corsair, the new RX-7 GP has a larger surface for screen since this is five millimeters wider on each side. This improves the pilot's vision, especially when cornering.

To manufacture the outer shell, a system called "Peripherally Belted" SNC has been used, which supposedly improves its hardness and rigidity. Too have improved aeration without enlarging the outer perforations. They have done this by using new larger diffusers that channel more air into the helmet.

Both the padded sides like the nape padding can be removed in a few seconds thanks to the emergency system. Doctors and emergency personnel can remove them simply by pulling the emergency tags. This offers more space inside the helmet, thus making it much more easy to take off the helmet and minimizing the risk of additional injury.

Arai has used the most famous pilots of motorcycles to develop this helmet, riders like Dani Pedrosa, Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards, John Hopkins, Shinya Nakano, Yuki Takahashi, Hiroshi Aoyama, but also Freddie Spencer and Randy Mamola.
