Why buy the Arai RX7 Russel Grey helmet?

This model features understated yet powerful graphics, dominated by a sophisticated metallic grey accented with black and white details – a stylish nod to the American rider's racy elegance.
Like all Arai helmets in the RX7 series, it offers exceptional protection thanks to its PB SNC² shell and R75 shape, designed to optimize sliding in the event of a fall. This helmet limits rotational forces transmitted to the skull, an advancement directly derived from MotoGP.
