AGV K1 Helmet – Entry Level Lid from Italian Helmet TitansAGV K1 Gloss Black Helmet

The AGV K3 and K3 SV helmets have been popular with bikers for years; the K3 provides a no frills, budget option for beginner bikers while the K3 SV offers a more aerodynamic shape with the added benefits of a Pinlock ready visor with anti-mist insert. The new AGV K1 is designed to bridge the gap between these two helmets, bringing us a new entry level skid lid at a bargain price.

Looks familiar?

The same excellent High Resistance Thermoplastic Resin (HIR-TH) is used here as is used in the K3 and K3 SV. This excellent material offers a secure shell that is easier on the pocket without compromising on safety. With two shell sizes and multi density EPS lining, you can be sure the AGV K1 helmet fits snug and secure. The inside of the helmet features a Dri-lex inner lining for a fresh, gentle feel to the helmet. This lining can be easily removed and washed for a fresh feel every time. This lining is eyewear ready, featuring a groove designed for those with spectacles for a comfortable fit. With the double D ring retention system, the AGV K1 helmet is ideal for the racer on a budget, keeping down your track day costs.

Keeping a cool head

The shape of the helmet is very much inspired by the K3 SV, a helmet praised for its aerodynamic design. The aerodynamic design of the K1AGV K1 Soleluna 2015 Helmet channels air towards the various ventilation points found on the front of the helmet. This provides superior ventilation, keeping you cool in your helmet even on the warmest days of the year.
The direct air flow allows cool air into the helmet, however the most noticeable feature of the K1 helmet is the biplano style integrated spoiler complete with multiple exhaust ports for the extraction of warm air. This clever feature imitates the look of sportier helmets such as the Pista GP-R whilst allowing ventilation through the helmet.

Clean and clear…

Absent from the AGV K1 is a drop-down sun visor, however the Pinlock ready, anti-scratch visor has been incorporated into the AGV K1 from its big brother, the AGV K3 SV. This anti-scratch visor minimises the scratches than can occur from regular riding. Care should be taken not to scratch the visor though! The Pinlock ready visor is ready to receive an anti fog insert, which offers clear vision on cooler days, providing an uninterrupted view of the road. These Pinlock inserts are available to purchase separately.
