Arai revealed its latest Isle of Man TT-themed helmet, the 17th special edition helmet from its partnership with the legendary island race.

The design features the letters "TT" on the left and right, the Isle of Man's Triskelion symbol on the chin and crown, and a map of the Isle's 37.73-mile Mountain Course on the back.

Arai Launch The RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2026 Limited Edition

If you were at Motorcycle Live at the NEC in Birmingham, UK, you’ll have already seen it: Arai Helmet Europe has pulled the covers off its 2026 Isle of Man TT special edition helmet.

The RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2026 Limited Edition is the 17th special Arai created around the legendary road race where Arai is the Official Helmet Partner. The annual Arai TT special has been a cornerstone of the partnership that spans more than four decades.

At the heart of the helmet is Arai’s iconic shell shape, inspired by one of nature’s strongest forms – the egg. That relentless focus on protection has driven Arai to create rounder, stronger, smoother shells designed to deliver outstanding glancing-off performance. By continuously working to minimise the impact energy that enters a helmet, Arai’s pursuit of protection has led to the R75 shell – trusted by riders and racers across the globe, including those who take on the Mountain Course.

Designed by longtime collaborator Drudi Performance, Arai’s IoM TT 2026 brings you another stunning look inspired by the world’s ultimate road race.

The livery, presented on the iconic RX-7V EVO, features a retro-style black, white and gold base, with striking swoosh lines that capture the adrenaline and speed of the TT. Vibrant highlights in red, orange and blue pull the whole design together, while the wraparound TT logo dominates the sides of the helmet so there’s no mistaking where your passion lies. Brilliant white Triskelions sit proudly on the chin and crown, with golden “Tourist Trophy” text tying the logo and lines together. On the rear, you’ll find Drudi’s thumbprint icon alongside a bright red outline of the 37.73-mile-long Mountain Course – a subtle nod to every respected mile.


The RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2026 Limited Edition will be available online from May 2026, and in limited quantities at the Arai store at TT 2026.
