Arai has never been about flashy marketing or chasing trends. For decades, the Japanese brand has quietly built a reputation for producing some of the safest, most meticulously crafted helmets in the world. That commitment to quality and rider trust is exactly what makes its latest release so meaningful.
To mark 25 years since Joey Dunlop’s passing, Arai has released a special-edition RX-7V Evo styled after the iconic yellow-and-black lid the TT legend wore throughout his racing career. It’s a fitting tribute to one of road racing’s most respected figures—someone whose impact went far beyond the racetrack. Only 600 helmets are being made, each one individually numbered and sold exclusively through The Visor Shop.
Inside the box, buyers get more than just the helmet. There’s a signed certificate from Joey’s widow, Linda Dunlop, along with a Shell Oil sticker pack and 25th anniversary badge. Riders can either keep it clean or lean into the full retro TT look, just as Joey wore it in the '80s.
