ARAI – FIM homologated MX-V EVO Racing #2
Late last year, Arai Helmet Europe announced that its FIM Racing #2 has received official homologation and was live on the FIM website as part of its FRHP-he02-approved helmets list.
This certification, issued by the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme), validates the MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2 to meet all performance requirements for use at the highest levels of international motorcycle competition. The homologation includes compliance with the FIM's advanced criteria, designed to elevate rider protection in modern off-road racing environments.
The new MX-V EVO FIM #2 is Arai's first off-road helmet homologated to the FIM FRHPhe-02 standard, which became mandatory effective 2026, "and is the go-to helmet for racing in FIM sanctioned off-road events.
"The MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2 has been developed from the MX-V EVO, and decades of accumulated expertise in protective gains, combined with years of Arai's competition experience."
The helmet incorporates Arai's proprietary Peripherally-Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) for a strong yet lightweight shell; optimised impact-energy distribution, designed around the principle of "Glancing Off" performance; updated peak design to enhance stability and airflow in competitive conditions and refined ventilation channels "for improved cooling during long, physically demanding events".
With no exaggerated edges or protrusions - a staple of Arai design – "the R75 shape is the reason that the MX-V FIM #2 is the first Arai off-road helmet homologated to the FIM FRHPhe-02 standard without significant changes."
Key to this is Arai's belief in the egg shape of its helmets. Taking the strongest shape in nature as inspiration, "the rounder, smoother, and stronger characteristics of an Arai shell define every helmet made, and the MX-V EVO is no different." It is available in White only in sizes XS - XL, through Arai's authorised dealer network and distributors.
