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 FIM #2 is Arai’s first off-road helmet homologated to the FIM FRHPhe-02 standard, which becomes mandatory from 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 accumulations in protective gains, combined with years of Arai’s competition experience, can be found in the MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2.
The helmet incorporates:
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
- 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.
With its FIM approval, the MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2 is now eligible for use across all FIM-sanctioned off-road championships worldwide. Teams and riders can now choose the MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2 as a fully compliant, competition-ready option for the 2026 season and beyond.
The Arai MX-V EVO FIM Racing #2 will be available in White only in sizes XS - XL, through Arai’s authorised dealer network and distributors. Riders and teams seeking further information or homologation documentation can contact their local Arai importer.
