Without doubt the Arai RX-7V RC is the pinnacle of helmet technology. Painstakingly hand build by master craftsman to create a superb helmet in which all the Arai know-how, experience and years of development has been brought together. From the VAS (Variable Axis System) technology that offers a significant larger and smoother shell area above the SNELL test line greatly improving the important helmet glancing off performance, to the meticulously applied layers of precious carbon fibre, it all adds up to a truly superb helmet. Diffuser Type 12 New Type 12 diffusers are 20mm longer and straightened for improved aerodynamics, working together with the Air Wing to improve stability. Compared to the previous Type 10 diffusers, the efficiency of the intake scoops of the new Type 12 diffusers has increased by 19%. The new air intake vents not only have more adjustability with three positions, closed, half open and fully open but also help to improve sealing that decreases wind noise and water intrusion. Eco Pure Liner The fully removable interior liner system has been improved with new Eco Pure material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin and antibacterial consumption. With the aim of a softer, deeper and even more comfortable fit we developed a new softer liner frame material. The new liner also has adjustable temple padding that allows for a customized fit. VAS V MV Shield VAS MAX Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding. Comes standard with Clear anti-fog Pinlock insert to be installed as needed. IC Duct5 The new IC Duct5 provides 11% more airflow than the previous Delta Duct5. The new bigger switch makes opening and closing easier. The new IC duct-5 has three positions, closed, half open and fully open to adjust the airflow and prevent water intrusion when fully closed. Chin Cover Attached to the bottom of the helmet, the new chin curtain helps to further accentuate the Egg-shape form. The curtain simultaneously blocks air intrusion from turbulent air below and increases negative pressure to enhance the exhaust function of FFS by drawing more air from the mouth area. The improved airflow reduces noise even further. Air Channel Enhanced air exhaust from the eye port area, pulled through dedicated air channel to side cowl-6,improving efficiency and reducing noise. Full Support Interior FCS Cheek pad with ear pocket recess for speakers and 5mm peel away layer for added room if needed. Larger space in mouth area for a more open feeling. Smaller NE nozzle without reduced exhaust efficiency. New emergency release tab positioned at the end of the release strap for easier access by rescue staff. Improved comfort performance with better fitting while being easier to put on and off.
