What's the difference between this and the regular RX7 or is this going to replace that model?

Why an RR5? Why not call it a Corsair 2?

Found a clip on it: <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04PyWZBWFHs

</A>

Bottom line: Stronger "Superfiber" composite shell and upgraded inner material, 5 way adjustable spoiler in the back, wider peripheral vision due to 5mm expansion of shield profile.

Man I am still trying to find an Arai RX-7 Corsair Hayden Laguna Seca replica in large. Are they going to be doing all new designs for the new helmet?

Hmmmm, I would prob say about $100
I'm due for a replacement helmet soon/now. I'll see if I can wait a while. I love my RX7-rr4.

If you guys haven't realized, the rr4 has been the same for the longest.
hell my tommy gun I have had for about 2 yrs and they are still selling them at the same cost and model.
Hence, the RR5 has an extra vent, and has been tested for years before they were even willing to produce them.
It's worth the wait

I'm in the same boat man. I've wanted the hayden laguna FOREVER and I can't find it anywhere for anything less than $700. Maybe the new rx-7 will have this paint scheme. *crosses fingers*

I just bought an RX7 corsair, should I see if I can return it. Any idea when for sure these new models will be out? I was going to pickup a scorp exo for chicks after my rx7 but i can get that now to make due for the new arai if its really going to be worth it.
