| MotoGP Rider Nick Hayden's '10 Arai Helmet
by staff Friday, March 12, 2010 2010 Arai RX7 GP Nicky Hayden Replica The Kentucky Kid's Kool New Paint Nicky Hayden starts his second year racing for the Ducati MotoGP team with high hopes for the 2010 season... and a brand new paintjob on his Arai RX-7 GP. The popular 29 year-old American from Owensboro Kentucky, who won the MotoGP Championship in 2006 riding for Repsol Honda, has been a career-long Arai devotee and his replica a firm favourite around the world. Underneath the sleek new paintwork, designed by Italian Roberto Marchionni of Starline Graphics is Arai's RX-7 GP, a racing helmet considered by many as the benchmark against which all others are measured. Featuring a peripherally belted Structural Net Composite (SNC) shell, with hyper ridge strengthening in its lower section and wider aperture (plus larger visor) for better vision the RX-7 GP is the most technologically advanced motorcycle helmet Arai has ever produced. A triple density inner shell adds to the RX-7 GP's security, while the fully removable/washable Dry Cool interior gives real comfort - even under the stress of MotoGP conditions. Arai has long been known for its helmet venting technology and a combination of the RX-7 GP's Air Intake Stabiliser Diffuser, which increases airflow through the helmet, Airflow Spoiler and visor brow ventilation ducts ensure suitable climate control for any situation. The five-position Air Wing reduces drag, turbulence and buffeting. Launched in late 2008 the RX-7 GP exceeds ECE Regulation 22-05 and the new SNELL M2010 standard. ECE 22-05 represents the legal minimums for helmets in road use throughout the European Union while Snell M2010, introduced in October 2009, demands protective standards well beyond these legal minimums. The RX-7 GP easily surpasses ECE 22-05 and is the first (and only) helmet to meet Snell M2010, offering far superior head protection for motorcyclists.ENDS PRIVACY POLICY | HOME | RETURN TO TOP © 1997 - 2010 Hardscrabble Media LLC |
