Why buy the Arai RX7 Oakley helmet?
The Oakley RX7 is the result of an exceptional collaboration between two legends of sporting goods: Arai and Oakley. This exclusive model features Oakley's signature design, with its bold geometric patterns, iconic logo, and distinctive color combinations. Oakley's Californian aesthetic, renowned worldwide for its cutting-edge and sporty style, blends perfectly with the aerodynamic lines of the Japanese helmet.
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.
Despite its racing focus, the comfort is exceptional. The anatomical interior perfectly conforms to the contours of the face without any pressure points. The high-performance ventilation system maintains an ideal temperature even during intense exertion, while the rigorously optimized aerodynamics ensure perfect stability at high speeds and minimize neck fatigue.
