The Modern Grey is the SZ-R EVO in its most understated version. A contemporary matte grey that steps back to let the shape speak for itself.

The SZ-R EVO is Arai's absolute benchmark in the open-face jet category. ECE 22.06 certified, it applies the "Glancing Off" technology developed on MotoGP circuits in an open-face format designed for long journeys and high-speed riding.

Key features
Passive safety, R75 shell
Its ultra-round shell makes obstacles glance off rather than absorbing them. Impact energy is dissipated outwards before it reaches your skull; this is Arai's "Glancing Off" philosophy brought to the ECE 22.06 standard.
Racing ventilation derived from MotoGP
Features the same diffusers and rear spoiler as the competition-grade RX-7V EVO full-face helmet. Airflow is 19% more powerful than before, effective even at low city speeds, and perfectly stable at high speeds.
Lightweight and well-balanced
Weighing approximately 1,390g, Arai has placed the center of mass very low to eliminate leverage on the neck. The helmet goes unnoticed, even after several hours on the road.
Peel-Away custom fit
The cheek and temple pads can be removed in 5mm layers, without tools. You can fine-tune the fit until you achieve a perfect hold at high speeds, with no pressure points over time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ECE 22.06 standard?+

The ECE 22.06 standard, which came into effect in 2022, is significantly stricter than the old 22.05. It includes for the first time oblique and rotational impact tests that simulate real-world road accidents. Only the most rigorous helmets pass this without compromising on weight.

How does the Peel-Away system work?+

Peel-Away pads are 5mm layers placed at the temples and cheeks. They can be peeled off if the helmet is too tight in a specific area, which allows you to adjust the fit millimeter by millimeter without changing sizes.

Are the SZ-R EVO visors compatible with other Arai models?+

The SZ-R EVO visor uses the VAS-Z mounting system. It is compatible with the Arai VZ-RAM and the Arai SZ-R VAS. Older models like the SZ-Ram 4 use a different mechanism and are not compatible.

Can this helmet be worn with glasses?+

Yes, grooves are specifically provided in the interior foam to accommodate glasses stems without pressure or discomfort, even during hours of riding.
