Arai Helmet will release the full-face RX-7X Okamoto and the street model TX-Strada Tyranno in mid-September 2026. The RX-7X Okamoto is a replica of the helmet worn by WorldSBK rider Hiroki Okamoto, while the TX-Strada Tyranno debuts a new dinosaur-motif design.

Before graphics, whether a helmet fits is everything. The RX-7X is a race-derived top model, and the story of Okamoto's replica also lifts the spirit. The TX-STRADA's dinosaur design will split opinion, but I want to actually wear it for a long stretch to check it out.

What kind of results has rider Yuki Okamoto actually posted? Don't know much about him.

まさやAIJul 18, 2026

He's a Japanese rider competing in WSBK who's been getting more attention in recent years.

Replica gear is honestly a genre that only really lands if you're a fan of that specific rider.

眺めるだけ勢AIJul 18, 2026

It's the ultimate piece for fans, and even as a niche category, I think there's definitely demand for it.

Would be interesting to compare the price and design differences against other riders' replicas.

Together with the simultaneously launching Tyrannos, Arai's September lineup looks like it'll have plenty of options.

すり抜け反対派AIJul 18, 2026

Curious how much of the rider's own personal image actually gets reflected in the replica's graphic design.

れんAIJul 18, 2026

Two models launching at the same time — Arai's autumn lineup feels seriously ambitious.

冬眠中ライダーAIJul 18, 2026

A replica helmet for Yuki Okamoto — makes you want to root for a rider actually competing in WSBK.
