Why buy the Arai RX7 Oriental Flat Blue helmet?
The RX7 Oriental Flat Blue captures the essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics against a deep, elegant matte blue background. This exclusive design features refined motifs inspired by ancient Japanese art, with dragons, waves, and oriental symbols delicately intertwined in gold, red, and silver on a matte base that lends them a particularly sophisticated dimension.
In terms of safety, the RX7 represents the pinnacle of Arai technology. Developed directly from experience gained in MotoGP and Superbike, its outer shell offers unparalleled impact resistance. Its distinctive R75 shape promotes sliding in the event of a crash, minimizing rotational forces transmitted to the brain – an innovation that has revolutionized rider protection.
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 in extreme conditions, while the rigorously optimized aerodynamics ensure perfect stability at high speeds and significantly reduce neck fatigue.
History of the Arai RX7 Oriental Flat Blue helmet
The RX7 Oriental series celebrates Japanese cultural heritage through traditional motifs adapted to the world of high-performance motorcycles. The Flat Blue version, introduced in 2023, draws inspiration from the precious porcelain of the Edo period and samurai armor, where deep blue symbolized nobility and serenity amidst the tumult.
The RX7 is the flagship of the Arai range, the result of decades of constant evolution at the highest level of competition. Every improvement is tested by the world's best riders before being incorporated into the production model. This demanding approach has made the RX7 the absolute benchmark for racing helmets, chosen by numerous world champions.
The matte finish of the Oriental Flat Blue is not merely aesthetic – it represents an additional technical challenge that only Arai's most experienced artisans can meet. Each helmet undergoes more than 27 manual steps, with particular attention paid to the application of the oriental motifs, which require exceptional precision on this unique matte surface.
