The RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2026 Limited Edition is the 17th special Arai designed around the legendary road race where it is the Official Helmet Partner, and which will host its 106th edition in 2026. The annual Arai TT special helmet is a cornerstone of its four-decade partnership with the Isle of Man TT, and their launches have become an event that race fans around the world look forward to.
The iconic Arai shell shape is inspired by the egg, one of nature’s strongest shapes, and its enduring protective abilities has led Arai to create rounder, stronger, smoother shells that deliver glancing off performance. Arai is constantly seeking to minimise the impact energy that enters a helmet, and in the relentless pursuit of gains in protection has arrived at the R75 shell that has protected so many riders and racers around the world.
Designed by longtime Arai collaborator Drudi Performance, the IoM TT 2026 offers another stunning design inspired by the legendary race, and the third iteration to draw on the TT's 2024 rebranding.
The livery, presented on the iconic RX-7V EVO, features a retro-style black, white and gold base design, with striking 'swoosh' lines that capture the adrenaline of the racing. Bringing the colours together are vibrant highlights in red, orange and blue, while the wraparound TT logo dominates the sides of the helmet. Brilliant white Triskelions feature on the chin and top, with golden 'Tourist Trophy' text tying the logo and lines together. At the rear of the helmet is Drudi's thumbprint icon, with a bright red outline of the 37.73-mile-long Mountain Course.
The RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2026 Limited Edition will be available from May 2026 and in limited quantities at the Isle of Man TT itself.
New Arai RX-7V EVO, the result of more than 70 years of experience in the field of Protection.
RX-7V EVO, spearhead of Arai Technology, combines our very strict internal standards and the new ECE22-06 Homologation. It's not just a new model, it's a new reference.
ECE R22-06 requires a series of more stringent tests than the previous ECE R22-05 approval.
Arai presented the RX-7V EVO and was able to pass approval, while maintaining the helmet's ability to slide and deflect energy thanks to an outer shell that is as rounded, smooth and resistant as possible.
In other words, the essence of an Arai RX-7V EVO.
With Arai there really is a difference. The constant improvements that are implemented over time contribute to achieving a higher level of protection than the previous one, creating a new basis from which to improve further. Because what we protect is priceless.
