The 2022 motorcycle racing season marked a new beginning for many Arai-sponsored riders. After six consecutive Superbike World Championship (WSBK) titles, Jonathan Rea relinquished his crown to Pata Yamaha rider Toprak Razgatlıoğlu in 2021. Maverick Vinales, on the other hand, switched from the Yamaha Factory team to Aprilia’s Grand Prix squad last year.
Both start new chapters in 2022, and Arai showed off each rider’s new helmet designs for the 2022 race season. In addition to the new Rea and Top Gun liveries, the brand’s RX-7X flagship helmet will also bear British Superbike Championship rider Takumi Takahashi’s matte motif and deceased GP rider Nicky Hayden’s Reset design.
