Why buy the Arai RX7 Radical Black helmet?
The RX7 Radical Black makes a bold statement with a decidedly contemporary design that combines a deep black base with striking geometric graphics featuring red, gray, and white accents. These angular and dynamic patterns, inspired by the world of modern racing, create a striking visual effect that emphasizes the helmet's aerodynamics while asserting a powerful and technical character.
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.
History of the Arai RX7 Radical Black helmet
The Radical series was introduced to the RX7 range in 2022, marking an evolution in Arai's aesthetic approach with more geometric and technical designs. The Radical Black, with its dark base and contrasting accents, embodies this new direction while retaining the elegance and understated style characteristic of the Japanese brand.
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.
True to Arai tradition, each Radical Black 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 and varnish to achieve the perfect definition of the patterns and the characteristic depth of black.
FAQ
