2022 Arai Isle of Man TT limited edition RX-7V Evo design revealed at MCN London Motorcycle Show.
After two long years away the Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy are back in 2022, from 29th May to 10th June. The spectacular celebration of motorcycling, raced over 37.73 miles of real roads, draws competitors and fans from around the world. It’s also an event that runs through Arai’s DNA; many off the TT racers wear Arai for the performance, security and comfort at high speeds that the brand’s helmets offer while Arai puts great effort into supporting all Arai wearers in the Isle with service and spares.
For nearly 15 years Arai has marked its commitment to the event – and each TT – with a very special version of its RX-7V racing helmet, with paintwork designed by the legendary Drudi Performance. Beautiful and extremely collectible, the Arai IoM TT Limited Edition is a sell-out every year and for 2022 is based on the new, range-topping ECE R22-06-approved RX-7V EVO helmet.
With classic Black, Red and White paint paying homage to the 2007 original the key components always present – since the very first – are the Triskelion (three legs of man) unified by a bold ‘double’ TT logo across the top, chequered flag motif and Ellan Vannin (Isle of Man in Mananese) subtly tucked away on the opposite side.
It will be officially unveiled to the public by TT hero Michael Dunlop at the MCN London Motorcycle Show, at 12 noon GMT on Friday 11th February. For those unable to make it to ExCel, Arai Europe will livestream the launch on their Facebook channel.
Arai Helmet (Europe) will also have a small stand at ExCel with some previous TT designs on display and staff to answer any questions.
Ingmar Stroeven, Arai Helmet (Europe) B.V. Managing Director: “How we’ve missed the TT! After two long years away from the wonderful Isle of Man it’s great to make plans to be back. It means so much, to us at Arai Helmet (Europe) and Arai Japan. And we know how special it is to racers and fans alike, which makes the reveal of the 2022 IoM TT Limited Edition RX-7V EVO a highlight of our year. Drudi Performance has never disappointed and for 2022 has blended classic with contemporary, to stunning visual effect.”

The new integral helmet from the Italian brand arrives in the 2022 collection with ECE22R06 homologation, providing an interesting option to match any off-road motorcycle.
Like a classic Italian dish, the new GIVI helmet has been created through the combination of the best ingredients and careful preparation, ensuring that every detail is authentic in its essence. Countless hours of research and development, undertaking the most demanding tests, have given rise to the integral 60.1, the first GIVI off-road model to already comply with the new ECE 22R06 regulations. To create a product apt for cross, enduro and supermotard riders, the Italian company have not only worked on laboratory tests, but have also subjected the helmets to one of the best testing grounds in competition: Use by Simone Cristini, 2021 Enduro World Champion in the Junior category.
GIVI are one of the most renowned Italian motorcycle and biker accessories brands, and that is not the result of mere chance. In the working process used by the brand from Brescia, listening to the needs of those who use the products is of fundamental importance. This is why the company have decided to complete their Adventure line with an item that is in high demand, akin to adding an extra dish to an already mouthwatering menu: The 60.1, a new off-road helmet for those who like to venture away from the asphalt.
This helmet has been conscientiously developed with the latest technology and the best materials, anticipating the mandatory enforcement of the new ECE 22R06 European homologation that comes into effect on July 3rd, 2022. This means that the resistance tests passed by the 60.1, including impact tests at different speeds – on screens, in rotation, on inclined surfaces or by particles at high speed – are more complete and demanding. In addition, all accessories, such as visors, also have this approval.
The GIVI 60.1 off road integral thus offers a boost in safety. It is made with high quality components: Resistant materials such as the technopolymer used in the shell. Its interior, designed with an attractive camouflage finish, is made of hypoallergenic, removable, and washable fabric. In addition, it includes an adjustable visor, ‘Double D’ strap closure and front, upper and chin guard air intakes, along with a rear extractor.
The 60.1 is apt for the discerning palates of all types of dirt bike, enduro and supermotard enthusiasts. This full-face helmet has more than 10 multicoloured aesthetic variants, based on current trends and divided into two versions of its graphic theme: Fresh and Invert. This allows this model to be perfectly combined with the official colours of any off-road motorcycle brand. It is available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL at €139 MSRP (VAT Inc.).
These, and many more GIVI items, provide a boost for motorcycle trips and make any journey on two wheels a more comfortable experience.

Its versatile concept allows the Aventuro Rambler to be adapted to the most varied conditions of use.
Now, the brand new “Sunbeam” variant expands the choice of decors for this superbly equipped multi-purpose helmet.
The Touratech Aventuro Rambler lives up to its name – it’s made to travel. And that onroad as well as offroad. In the blazing summer heat and, if need be, in autumn drizzle: This helmet offers its wearer maximum comfort and optimum protection against any of the conditions met in everyday motorcycle life.
Versatile concept
Behind the incredible versatility of the Aventuro Rambler lies a sophisticated concept that allows it to be adapted to a wide variety of uses. It can be transformed from a hybrid helmet into an airy cross helmet or a streamlined road helmet with very little effort. And that all without any tools at all.
Opulent fittings
No matter what the configuration when out on a ride, the Touratech Aventuro Rambler’s enormous range of equipment and its many clever detail solutions will convince even the most demanding motorcyclists.
Four adjustable air inlets and four air outlets, easily adjustable with gloves, provide optimal ventilation. The removable chin wind protection and the special off-road air inlet further increase the air supply for off-road riding.
The Coolmax™ inner padding is skin-friendly and can be removed and washed. The Ergo Padding System allows the helmet to be adjusted to the wearer’s individual head shape by means of several foam padding strips.
The adjustable shield offers the best sun protection, with the wearer gaining additional glare protection from the intuitively operated sun visor. The three-dimensional moulded visor ensures optimum visibility in all weather conditions. It has a scratch-resistant coating and is designed to enable quick mounting of the included Pinlock™ visor.
Maximum safety
Maximum safety is guaranteed by the high-strength fibreglass helmet shell. This shell is manufactured in three sizes so that the optimum ratio of the EPS dome to the helmet size can be realised in each case. Easy-to-remove emergency straps facilitate helmet removal for first responders. Equipped with the particularly secure double D-ring fastener, this helmet complies with the latest standards according to ECE and DOT.
New decor variant, Sunbeam
In addition to the popular black and yellow colour combinations, there is now an additional decor variant, the “Sunbeam” design, where bright yellow contrasts with design elements in calm grey and black.
The Touratech Aventuro Rambler is available in seven sizes from XS to 3XL.
Horizon V2: the Ducati helmet for touring with an integrable intercom system.
Horizon V2 is the touring helmet par excellence of the Ducati range, specifically developed by the Bologna-based manufacturer, combining comfort and practicality, style and safety, with the aim of making every trip an unforgettable experience.
Included in the 2022 Apparel collection, Ducati Horizon V2 has graphics designed by Drudi Performance exclusively for Ducati and is a modular helmet , which means that it offers the motorcyclist the possibility of transforming it from a full-face helmet to a jet helmet by lifting the chin guard. The outer shell is made of Ultra Carbon material combined with aramid and glass fibres, which give the helmet strength and lightness. The Carbon Fitting internal padding with thermoregulating active carbon filaments ensures an excellent level of comfort, while safety is guaranteed by the ability of the expanded polystyrene of the inner shell to absorb and disperse kinetic energy in the event of an impact. The attention paid by Ducati to safety is combined with a modern and gritty look with an iconic and at the same time essential new graphic design, which enhances the colours and the Ducati logo with geometric lines and sophisticated colour combinations.
The Eyewear Adaptive system allows you to wear the Ultrawide goggles and visor which, with its large surface, offers excellent visibility to the rider. The included sun visor grants excellent protection from UV rays – up to 400 nm – essential for tackling longer journeys, and can be easily disassembled for maintenance and cleaning.
The Horizon V2 helmet is designed and approved for integration with the N-Com B 902X Intercom system to ensure maximum connectivity while experiencing the pleasure of adventure. This system allows you to manage the mobile phone and its answering, hanging up and last-number redialling functions via Bluetooth, with voice commands and automatic switching between intercom and phone. The intercom system is equipped with a Smart Conference function for group communications and for sharing music with both the passenger and another motorcycle when travelling in company.
In the Ducati Apparel collection there is an entire line dedicated to Touring made up of items that represent the ideal travel companions to make every ride memorable. Among these, the Tour C4 and Atacama C2 jacket and trouser outfits stand out: these are two total looks that combine features and design in a perfect mix of performance, style and safety. Both outfits are designed by Aldo Drudi and produced by Ducati following the criteria of lightness, strength and usability.
The Horizon V2 helmet and all the items that make up the Ducati Apparel collection are available at the dealer network of the Borgo Panigale company and on Shop.Ducati.com.

Nolangroup presents two new full-face helmets: Nolan N80-8 and N60-6.
It was in 1972 that Nolan presented the N01, the first injection-moulded jet helmet in LEXANTM polycarbonate. In 2022 the company will celebrate 50 years of history and continues to offer the market helmets that have contributed to the involvement of the sector, with the same passion that it has always demonstrated. Nolangroup is currently the leading manufacturer in Europe, with 400,000 helmets/year made entirely in Italy.
Since Lander Nocchi founded the company (in February 1972), Made in Italy excellence has been one of the factors that have made it unique, together with a constant commitment to research and innovation. These are values that are reflected once again in the 2022 collection, which sees the addition to the range of two new Nolan full-face models in polycarbonate: N80-8 and N60-6. Two helmets that perfectly encompass the know-how gained over these 50 glorious years of history.
The N80-8 is the new Nolan top-of-the range on-road full-face helmet, the heir to the extremely popular N87. The bold and modern design enhances every detail, from the shell to the air intakes. Thanks to its rich technical characteristics and standard equipment, it is the ideal helmet for any occasion, from long urban trips to the most challenging journeys, whatever the motorbike used and the destination to be reached.
The N60-6, on the other hand, is the new entry-level on-road full face helmet by Nolan, characterized by a contemporary and sporting design. Its technical features make it suitable for any situation, both in the city and on the motorway.
N60-6 PERCEPTOR
These two helmets express the attention to detail and the technological development that the company based in Brembate di Sopra has honed over the years. N80-8 and N60-6 encompass the progress made by Nolangroup both on and off the racetrack. Nolan’s commitment to the world of competitive sports, with the sponsoring of riders who have reached important milestones, has also made a significant contribution to the development of on-road helmets. N80-8 is one example, as it offers a number of technical characteristics of “racing” origin, such as NERS (NOLAN EMERGENCY RELEASE SYSTEM) and LPC (LINER POSITIONING CONTROL), elements that make the Nolan N80-8 a top-of-the-range helmet.
N80-8 50th ANNIVERSARY
However, the design of the products has also played a key role in the success of the Italian company. The in-house style department has always presented graphics that are in line with market trends. In order to celebrate this special anniversary, this year sees the introduction to the range of brand-new commemorative livery, with elegant graphics that are, at the same time, sporting and full of character, with gold iconic detailing and the specially developed 50th logo.
The company based in Brembate di Sopra is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary with decidedly positive financial results: the financial statements for 2020/2021 show turnover of 50 million euros, marking an increase of 25% over the previous year, and an EBITDA of around 9 million euros. These are significant results that underline the success of Made in Italy excellence, which now more than ever is appreciated in the more than 70 countries all over the world to which Nolangroup exports its products.
As leaders in head protection, one thing has stayed the same since Bell developed the first full-face motocross helmet in 1975 —they never stop breaking their own boundaries. Thriving on the progression of helmet development, Bell are determined not to follow trends, but create leading solutions to make riders safe while they perform at their best. From the brand new, groundbreaking Moto10 Spherical to the MX-9 Adventure DLX MIPS®, each helmet is designed to inspire the next generation of boundary breakers.
Moto-10 Spherical – The Future Is Upon Us.
Born from the needs of top athletes around the world, the Moto-10 is our most advanced off-road helmet that sets a new industry standard. As a direct result of our athletes’ influence and feedback, the Moto-10 achieves a winning combination of increased protection, weight reduction, and extreme airflow, enhancing the rider’s experience and confidence. As racing evolves, so do Bell. Combine our new technologies with our favoured Bell fit and aggressive styling, and the Moto-10 not only emerges as the front-runner—it becomes the evolution of full-face protection.
The Moto-10 is the first helmet to feature Spherical Technology powered by MIPS. Using a unique ball-and-socket design, the outer liner rotates around the inner liner to redirect impact forces away from the brain. This works seamlessly with MIPS and doesn’t compromise the other performance requirements of the helmet.
Moto-9S Flex – Evolution Of The Fittest.
Back by popular demand is the redesigned Moto-9s Flex—the refinement of a long-standing industry leader. This strong, lightweight helmet carries over Bell’s time-tested traditions of performance and advanced safety standards. Packed inside are three material layers that protect at different impact speeds and redirect rotational energy. Protection like this is what gives our motocross and off-road racers the confidence to go big.
You still get the unbeatable ventilation of the flexible, segmented liner that adapts to the shape of your head for a custom feel. Top off this no-compromise design with a firbeglass shell, delivering all the strength of carbon fibre in a more budget-friendly package.
Moto-9 MIPS – Race Ready.
The legendary Moto-9 continues to dominate MX tracks around the globe. Bell have added MIPS energy-absorbing technology to this proven performer, enhancing already stellar protection. An extensive list of features – Tri-Matrix Shell, Velocity Flow Ventilation, X-Static Liner, Flying Bridge Visor, Magnetic cheek pads/Strap Keeper, and an Industry-leading five-year warranty – ensures the Moto-9 is as ready as you are when the gate drops.
No two impacts are the same – that’s why MIPS is so important. Rotational impacts are more common than perpendicular impacts and cause dangerous twists that can be often associated with brain injury. MIPS uses a slip-pane system that moves inside the helmet and mimics the brains own protection system. This layer rotates inside the helmet to try and reduce the amount of energy transferred to the head. By doing this, it may be possible to reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
The Moto-9 MIPS is also available in youth sizes.
MX-9 MIPS – Motocross Hero.
The off-road world is a dirty, tough place. Chunks of rock and dirt mean business when launched by roosting tires, and even when it’s muddy, hitting the ground is always hard. That’s why Bell sweated the details on the MX-9, loading it with a tough polycarbonate shell, MIPS energy management system, an adjustable visor, Velocity Flow ventilation, and a removable, washable, anti-microbial liner for when the time comes to hose down. The MX-9 MIPS packs all these features into one helmet, delivering exceptional value and pro-caliber performance.
MX-9 Adventure MIPS – All-Terrain Explorer.
From the roughest singletrack to urban blacktop, the MX-9 Adventure MIPS gets you there safely in style. Bell have taken the MX-9 and added even more capability with an integrated anti-fog, anti-scratch clear visor. The shield flips up and leaves enough room for goggles in extreme conditions, or it can be removed completely. Conversely, the adjustable visor can be removed for a stealth street look. MIPS protection, Velocity Flow ventilation, and a removable, washable, anti-microbial liner round out a highly adaptable package.
MIPS
MIPS, or Multi-Directional Impact Protection System has been developed for over 25 years and uses a slip pane designed to manage energy from rotational and angular impacts. Most helmets are designed to handle direct hits, however real world accidents involve twists and rotations which can cause significant brain injury. The low-friction layer inside the helmet allows multi-directional movement of 10-15mm on certain angled impacts, which mimics the brain’s own protection system, and is intended to help reduce rotational force to the head and brain.
The Bell dirt collection is now available in all reputable motocross UK dealers. For more information and to find your nearest dealer, visit bellhelmets.co.uk
Packed with features gleaned directly from our flagship Star line, the Qualifier DLX MIPS delivers exceptional performance at incredible value.
Safety is enhanced by the inclusion of the MIPS energy management system.
Qualifier DLX MIPS is otherwise fully decked with aggressive styling, Velocity Flow ventilation, a removable, washable liner, and a padded wind collar.
This model comes with a Nutra Fog II anti-fog, anti- scratch Photochromic face shield.
Vale. The Doctor. Leggenda. After 25 years at the forefront of Grand Prix racing, Valentino Rossi says arrivederci – and what a career he’s had.
The 9-time champion is a colourful character, and this has been reflected in his unique helmet designs featuring everything from sharks to pizza! The range comprises everything from winter test designs, legendary Misano tributes and the iconic Soleluna, which are available from the entry level K1 through to the Pista GP-RR that Vale himself chooses.
These designs have been recreated on AGV helmets to pay tribute to one of the sport’s greatest. Grazie tante Vale, ciao.

Exclusive to the UK, the Rapide recalls the simple yet aggressive styling of naked motorcycles from the 1980s, with modern Arai performance.

Nolangroup presents the new livery dedicated to Casey Stoner and approaches its 50th anniversary with record results.
Nolangroup, the main sponsor of the Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix taking place from 22 to 24 October 2021 at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, has chosen this iconic setting to present a new livery dedicated to Casey Stoner and to begin celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the company.
On the first day of the weekend of racing, Nolangroup connected live with Casey Stoner to present the X-803 RS ULTRA CARBON CASEY STONER 10th ANNIVERSARY helmet, a new livery developed for the top-of-the-range full-face X-lite racing helmet to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Australian champion’s win at the 2011 MotoGP and to consolidate the relationship between Nolangroup and the world of competition.
“Albeit remotely, I am delighted to be here with you today. It has been ten years since my victory at the world championships, but the emotion is still the same, as is the “special” relationship that I have with the Nolangroup” – stated Casey Stoner. “Nolan helmets have been a reliable companion for all my races and I am very grateful today to the company for this unexpected surprise”.
The new X-803 RS ULTRA CARBON CASEY STONER 10th ANNIVERSARY helmet boasts all the elements that have always accompanied the legend of international motorcycle racing in the 176 races of his career: the Australian flag, Casey’s logo, the number 27, and kangaroos. The rear features celebratory elements, such as the championship logo of the international MotoGP and the text World Champion 10th Anniversary positioned on the RAS (Racetrack Aerodynamic Spoiler). The X-803 RS ULTRA CARBON CASEY STONER 10th ANNIVERSARY, a special edition product for 2022, will soon be available from the best retailers.
In 2022, Nolangroup will be celebrating 50 years of Italian manufacturing history. Its sponsorship of the Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix represents the first stage of celebrations. Accompanied by Casey Stoner and the riders Danilo Petrucci, Álex Rins and Arón Canet, the CEO of NolangroupEnzo Panacci took the opportunity to sum up the company’s current economic situation, which is approaching this important anniversary with record results.
“We are truly proud to be representing Italy in this prestigious sports event. The Nolan Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix is an important showcase for our company, not only for the media attention that the event attracts, but also for its very name, which once again underlines one of our strengths: made in Italy quality. It is here, from the track side at Misano, that I would like to highlight the latest economic results. Nolangroup is closing the 2020/21 period with a turnover of 50 million euros, seeing an increase of 25% over the previous year and an EBITDA of around 9 million” – stated Enzo Panacci.
The company, the number one manufacturer in Europe, with 400,000 helmets per year under the Nolan, X-lite and Grex brands exported to 85 countries worldwide, has managed to face up to the pandemic, thanks to the constant efforts in Research and Development and the contribution of its 400 employees working at the production plants in Brembate di Sopra (in the province of Bergamo). Since the beginning, Nolangroup has been running its entire manufacturing chain in Italy, an additional aspect that renders the company unique.
Light on the head and the pocket, the full carbon LS2 MX701 Explorer C dual sport helmet weighs in at just 1380g and sells for only £299.99.
The shell is 100% carbon fibre, made from 6k twill weave, which is light, strong and maintains fabric stability, even when formed into complex contours.
Three outer shell sizes offer the closest possible helmet in each fitment range, while the long-oval shape and laser-cut foam inserts follow the natural contour of the head and give a snug and comfortable fit.
The breathable hypoallergenic liner adds to the luxury feel and it is removable and washable for season-long freshness.
Dynamic flow-through ventilation, with intake ports at the crown, sides and chin, internal channels and rear exhaust ports, keeps the rider cool and comfortable.
The wide aperture gives a huge view and the visor is Pinlock-ready – a Pinlock anti-fog shield is included as standard. Behind that sits a drop-down sun visor.
The peak is adjustable and can also be removed, transforming the Explorer C into a sport style helmet for road or track use.
A Double D-Ring Buckle gives secure fastening and for added strength the chin strap is anchored to the shell with LS2’s unique Metal Security Plates.
For complete peace of mind, an Emergency Release System allows first responders to take out the cheek pads in seconds, so the Explorer C can be removed with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.
The MX701 Explorer C comes in sizes XS-2XL, is ECE 22.05 certified and is available in a solid carbon finish and six graphic options.
Retail prices are £299.99 for the solid carbon option and £319.99 for graphics.
