LIMITED EDITION 2010 ARAI TT SERIES HELMET

The first of three very special RX-7 GPs unveiled

Arai is synonymous with the Isle of Man TT. It’s the helmet the majority of riders trust and wear to race the 37.73 mile road circuit.

As in previous years Arai, in conjunction with the TT organisers will introduce a special edition, limited production Isle of Man TT RX-7 GP; a run of only 500 will be produced per TT in 2010, 11 and 12. Legendary designer Aldo Drudi has created a truly stunning First Edition design based around the Isle of Man’s famous triskelion (Three Legs of Man) symbol, the famous ‘TT’ letters and symbolism of the black and white chequered flag. It will be offered complete with a special display stand in the style of a TT winners’ podium, enabling the display of all three unique helmets together.

The new helmet will also be worn by the Isle of Man TT travelling marshals throughout the event.

Like its paint the actual helmet is special, too; Arai’s RX-7 GP is considered by many as the benchmark against which all others are measured. Featuring a peripherally belted Structural Net Composite (SNC) shell, with hyper ridge strengthening in its lower section and wider aperture (plus larger visor) for better vision the RX-7 GP is the most technologically advanced – and safest – motorcycle helmet Arai has ever produced.

Arai has long been known for its helmet venting technology and a combination of the RX-7 GP’s Air Intake Stabiliser Diffuser, which increases airflow through the helmet, Airflow Spoiler and visor brow ventilation ducts ensure suitable climate control for any situation. The five-position Air Wing reduces drag, turbulence and buffeting.

The Arai RX-7 GP exceeds ECE Regulation 22-05 and the new SNELL M2010 standard. ECE 22-05 represents the legal minimums for helmets in road use throughout the European Union while Snell M2010, introduced in October 2009, demands protective standards well beyond these legal minimums. The RX-7 GP easily surpasses ECE 22-05 and is the first (and only) helmet to meet Snell M2010, offering far superior head protection for motorcyclists.

The Arai RX-7 GP 2010 TT Series is available in sizes XS–XXL and has an RRP of £699.99. It will be sold via Arai Five Star dealer Crossan Motorcycles Ltd who will be at the Isle of Man during the TT fortnight and a commission on each helmet sold will go to the TT organisers – visit www.thevisorshop.com for details on how to pre-order.
