ARAI RX-7V EVO FIM RACING #2

Arai is the first to clear the FIM FRHPhe-02 standard.

Using the same materials and construction techniques used on the existing RX-7V FRHPhe-01 helmet, Arai was able to develop the new ‘RX-7V FIM Racing #2’ helmet and become the first helmet maker to become certified to this new standard. As always, we at Arai do not confine ourselves to only categories required by the standards of the time. Instead, we continue our pursuit for gains in protection whenever and wherever we can find it, which is the reason we can meet such a difficult challenge so quickly. When it comes to head protection, we adhere to the idea that “it is better to do something rather than nothing”. We believe that this way of thinking allows us to continue to accumulate small improvements over time that ultimately leads us to a helmet with improved protection.

Since 2020, the FIM has made it a requirement that gear must meet the FIM FRHPhe-01 standard. For the sake of elevating rider protection to an even higher level, the FIM established the new FIM FRHPhe-02 standard. 

According to the FIM, the first helmet recognized by them to have passed the even more stringent FRHPhe-02 standard was Arai’s ‘RX-7V FIM Racing #2’. In 2023, the helmet was officially announced to have passed the standard in all shell sizes.

In the midst of these stringent new requirements, our helmet was quickly certified and authorized for use. As of 2024, the Arai “RX-7V FIM Racing #2” helmet is the first to be authorized for use in FIM sanctioned races. The FIM and their President, Jorge Viegas, applauded Arai for our efforts in working to elevate rider head-protection.
