Arai launches its all-new Nicky Hayden replica model, the RX-7X HAYDEN RESET. Besides the graphic, the RX-7X which bears Hayden's number is a magnificent full face helmet with a red, white and black livery.
The helmet bears Hayden's number 69, permanently retired from competition, affixed on both sides. While the number 2 is a reference to Hayden's MotoGP career, it is also a number he inherited from his father. After several victories during his 69 years in the world championship, Hayden was inducted as a MotoGP™ Legend into the Motorsports Hall of Frame and his number permanently retired.
Fans of the brand, or owners of an Arai helmet themselves, will know that the company takes head safety very seriously. All of its models are built with premium materials, and the RX-7X is at the forefront of the Arai spectrum, intended for road racing and with FIM homologation.
The Arai RX-7X comes from a long line of RX models that are among the safest racing helmets on the market. The new “X” model is a revision compared to the old RX-7, and it obtains a new certification: ECE22.06. Arai designed this helmet using its PB-SNC2 fiberglass material, which is shaped to Arai's exacting standards in line with its 'looking into the distance' philosophy. Other than that, the helmet is mostly round, unlike most racing helmets which take on a very sharp look.
In addition to this, you will also get a clear visor in the box as well as a Pinlock anti-fog visor. Arai's Facial Contouring System is also available, and you get all the added benefits of removable liners and more.
The RX-7X comes in a variety of sizes, from XS to XL. The price of the RX-7X in this chart in Japan is around €500 (¥66), excluding tax.
