Arai rolls out its latest Isle of Man TT special

Arai’s flagship RX-7V Evo helmet has received the latest Isle of Man TT special edition treatment, and spoiler alert, it’s as pleasing on the eye as any previous design. 

Arai and the Isle of Man TT have been collaborating on special edition helmets for some time now, which tends to give us very sweet-looking helmets that slide into the motorcycle helmet maker’s range alongside many of its race replicas. 

If you’re interested in owning the new IOM TT special edition, or any RX-7V Evo lid for that matter, you might like to read our Arai RX-7V Evo helmet review.

But this latest edition, which will arrive in stores from May 2026 and in limited quantities, is arguably the best of the lot. 

Designed by one of the brand’s longtime partners, Drudi Performance, the new IOM TT RX-7V Evo Limited Edition features a retro-style black, white and gold base, and swoosh lines that are inspired by the incredible speeds reached and adrenaline of the TT. 

You will then see the large TT logo that wraps around the main part of the helmet. White Triskelions are featured on the chin and crown of the new lid, while golden “Tourist Trophy” text ties the logo and lines together nicely. 

At the back of the helmet is a red outline of the 37.73-mile-long Mountain Course, while another Isle of Man TT logo is positioned just underneath.

Arai is an official partner of the Isle of Man TT, and has been working alongside the legendary road race for more than four decades. The 2026 helmet will be the 17th special edition lid created around the Isle of Man TT. 

Arai has already made the helmet available to view in the UK, after unveiling the special edition RX-7V Evo at MCL, which began on 15 November and ends on 24 November at the NEC in Birmingham.
