Description:
The Arai RX-7 RC carbon fibre helmet must be one of the most special
helmets ever offered to the motorcycling community. Each outer shell
consists of no less than eleven carefully applied layers. The technology of
the new RX-7 RC is based on that of the GP-6 RC car racing helmet, which
was specially developed for Formula 1 use. It consists of an extremely stiff
and light carbon fibre outer shell, reinforced with the “Peripherally
Belted” construction. The Arai engineers searched and found a superior
carbon fibre quality. A mixture of aircraft quality premium carbon fibre
with Arai’s own resin plus Zylon reinforcement, showed to be the perfect
mixture for the RX-7 RC Arai outer shell.
