Maverick Viñales fans, ready your wallets and helmet racks because the RX-7X Maverick GP5 is on its way. Scheduled for a launch sometime in early September 2023, this red white, and blue lid with a big 12 at the back and Viñales’ name all over may just be the helmet you’ve been waiting for.
Everyone knows about the RX-7X from Arai. The Japanese helmet company has been churning out RX-7s for quite a while now. The RX-7X is a Snell and JIS-rated helmet that sees a lot of action on track, and a lot of love all around the world. Apart from the two ratings stickered on in Japan, other models of the RX-7 (RX-7V Evo) also get FIM homologation, and also ECE 22.06 approval, making it one of the safest helmets lines in the world to collect the whole spectrum of standards.
