Arai has used EICMA 2026 to introduce two new helmet releases: the all-new Horizon-X full-face helmet and a fresh design for the RX-7V EVO Isle of Man TT 2027 Limited Edition.

The new Horizon-X is designed for everyday road and sports riding, with a focus on protection, comfort and ventilation. It uses the shell design of the RX-7V EVO, incorporating Arai’s signature rounded shape, which is developed to help deflect impact energy.

According to Arai, the shell is handcrafted using more than 20 carefully selected materials. It is designed to meet the latest ECE 22.06 safety standard, alongside the company’s own internal safety criteria.

One of the main updates is its redesigned ventilation system, featuring new intake and exhaust ducts to improve airflow and heat management. Arai has also introduced a new antibacterial, odour-resistant and dirt-resistant interior liner to improve comfort during regular use.

The interior padding can be fully removed for cleaning and maintenance. This also makes it easier for riders to install communication systems from brands such as Cardo and Sena.

The Horizon-X will be offered in seven solid colours and seven graphic designs, with availability expected in early 2027. Arai has yet to announce official pricing, although estimates suggest the solid-colour versions could start at around £700, with graphic variants expected to cost more.

Alongside the new Horizon-X, Arai also showcased the RX-7V EVO Isle of Man TT 2027 Limited Edition. The special design celebrates the legendary Isle of Man TT road race and marks 40 years of collaboration between Drudi Performance and Arai Helmet Europe.

The limited-edition helmet features an asymmetrical graphic design inspired by the Isle of Man TT’s colours, combining orange, light blue, dark blue and gold. It also features a blue Arai logo, replacing the brand’s usual black finish, while the iconic Manx triskelion symbol is prominently displayed on the shell.

The RX-7V EVO Isle of Man TT 2027 Limited Edition is also expected to reach the market in early 2027. Arai has yet to confirm its pricing, although existing RX-7V EVO graphic editions can cost up to approximately £900.

Both releases add to Arai’s helmet lineup for riders looking for updated everyday protection or a special-edition design inspired by one of motorcycle racing’s most recognised road events.
