Broke in my new AGV today and am impressed by the aerodynamics of it. Super stable at speed, seems unaffected by crosswinds, and has very low drag/wind resistance compared with my Schuberth and Shoei. Really like the usability of the instant tint of the LCD visor too - all helmets should have this!


Very smart, which model is that? I've always wanted one of the Pista GPs in the Soleluna design but they're ferociously expensive.

I had an AGV K3 which was one the cheap ones and when I upgraded from that to an HJC RPHA 10+ I noticed a massive reduction in buffeting, the HJC has worked very well with all of the bikes I've ridden it with. It's more stable than my Shoei NXR, but not as quiet although there isn't a huge amount in it.
AGV Corsa Rossi's Misano 2015 design - each is a numbered limited edition. I'm impressed by the AGV lid - on par with Shoei's X-Spirit2 in terms of build quality (which is alot better than Arai's RX7 imho). The venting of the Corsa is great, but it's certainly quite a noisy lid with all the vents open. Here's a pic of the back -

I used to have one of these - amazingly light at 1kg, but wind noise absolutely terrible. The visor fitting was also total crap - one tiny plastic notch susceptible to breaking, then you need a new visor. £40 from Germany if I recall.... Carbon fibre very thin & bendy; not sure how it would cope with an off.

Anyway, I now have an HJC IS17 in matt black: http://www.hjchelmets.com/is-17/is-17-solid/#.V5SZ...

Very comfy & good tinted visor.

Just got me one of these. Only helmet in the store that fitted my odd head and cost less than £500. Liking it so far.

Figured it was about time to replace my first helmet, the blue Caberg, after 8 years of good use, which had shown little sign of wear...

Love my Roof Boxer V8. I ride a ZX9r Streetfighter and a hardtail chop so the Roof suits both bikes and it's nice to have both an open face and a full face in one. Does look rather cool with the chrome visor too.
