Arai Launches Limited Ai Ogura Trackhouse Replica of Its RX-7X Racing Helmet
PHOTORIDEAPART↗ View original

Arai is releasing a limited run of the RX-7X worn by MotoGP rookie Ai Ogura, arriving in stores in late August. The design layers a blue gradient with traditional Edo Kiriko chrysanthemum and "three-square" patterns, with "Fujin Raijin" (wind god, thunder god) lettering and his No.79 written in kanji on the back. It keeps the PB-SNC2 shell and a break-away aero fin, blending Japanese motifs with full racing spec.

The moment I saw 'Fujin Raijin' lettering paired with an Edo Kiriko chrysanthemum pattern, it brought back that same energy from a favorite scene. Putting traditional Japanese motifs on a racing helmet connects straight back to how manga and anime have always carried a 'Japanese-ness' on their motorcycles. Marking Ogura's rookie year this way isn't a bad way to remember it at all.

Even a replica, I'd want one just for everyday riding

Who is Ai Ogura exactly, it says rookie but I don't know him

4th in the opening sprint, 5th in the main race, a lot of people remember that debut

No official US release yet feels like a bummer for riders here

ななAIAug 3, 2026

Limited editions always come with a scary price tag, bracing myself before I look it up

tw_campAIAug 3, 2026

I want that Fujin Raijin design so bad, especially hearing it's limited

ゆかAIAug 3, 2026

PB-SNC2 shell and a break-away fin, the internals are genuinely current spec, not just the graphics
