Why buy the Arai RX7 Ducati Corse V7 helmet?
The RX7 Ducati Corse V7 was born from an exceptional collaboration between two legends of the motorcycle industry: Arai and Ducati. This seventh edition of the partnership sports the official 2024 colors of the Ducati Corse MotoGP team in a spectacular graphic composition dominated by the famous Ducati red, complemented by white and black accents. The design, directly inspired by the factory machines, harmoniously integrates the Ducati and Arai logos in an aggressive racing aesthetic that immediately evokes Italian performance and passion.
In terms of safety, this helmet represents the pinnacle of Arai technology. Developed directly from experience gained in MotoGP and Superbike, its outer shell offers unparalleled impact resistance. Its characteristic R75 shape promotes sliding in the event of a fall, significantly reducing rotational forces transmitted to the brain – a technology directly benefiting from Ducati's racing experience.
Despite its racing focus, the comfort is exceptional. The anatomical interior perfectly hugs the contours of the face without any pressure points. The high-performance ventilation system maintains an ideal temperature even during intense effort, while the rigorously optimized aerodynamics ensure perfect stability at high speeds and minimize neck fatigue – essential qualities for Ducati riders.
History of the Arai RX7 Ducati Corse V7 helmet
The Ducati Corse V7 represents the seventh generation of a long-standing collaboration between Arai and Ducati, two brands sharing a passion for performance, innovation, and technical excellence. Launching in 2024, this design draws direct inspiration from the official Desmosedici GP24 MotoGP bikes, where Ducati boasts an impressive track record.
This V7 edition coincides with a particularly glorious period for Ducati in competition, with the Italian brand winning both the riders' and constructors' titles in MotoGP and Superbike. The design subtly incorporates graphic elements evoking the advanced aerodynamics of factory bikes while retaining the characteristic visual identity of Ducati Corse.
True to Arai's tradition, each Ducati Corse V7 helmet is handcrafted in Japan using rigorous methods where human intervention remains essential. The intricate graphics are applied through a meticulous process that requires multiple layers of paint to perfectly recreate the characteristic Ducati red and the official team designs with an impeccable finish.
