FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for track use?

The AGV K1 S is derived from MotoGP experience and offers high-performance features like an aerodynamic shell for stability. While designed for versatile road use, its safety standards (ECE22.06) and performance features make it a capable option for occasional track days, though dedicated track helmets might offer more specialized features.

How do I know what size to buy?

Helmet sizing is based on head circumference. Measure around the fullest part of your head, just above the eyebrows. Refer to AGV's official sizing chart for the K1 S to find the appropriate size. A proper fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight, with no excessive movement when you shake your head.

Can I install a Bluetooth communication system?

Yes, the AGV K1 S has a specific provision for installing communication systems. This means it has internal channels and spaces designed to accommodate speaker and microphone components, making installation easier. The communication system itself is sold separately.

Is the visor truly scratch-resistant?

The Ultravision visor is described as 'scratch-resistant,' meaning it has a hard coating designed to withstand minor abrasions better than untreated visors. However, it is not scratch-proof, and care should still be taken to avoid rough handling or abrasive cleaning materials to maintain its condition.

What is the Double D retention system?

The Double D retention system is a highly secure helmet fastening method that uses two D-shaped rings. The strap is threaded through both rings and then back through one, creating a very strong and adjustable closure. It is widely considered one of the safest retention systems due to its reliability and adjustability.

Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?

No, the visor is 'Max Pinlock-ready,' which means it has the pins and design to accept a Pinlock anti-fog insert, but the anti-fog insert itself is sold separately and must be purchased if desired.

How much does the helmet weigh?

The helmet weighs approximately 3.31lb (1.5 kg) in its smallest size. The exact weight may vary slightly depending on the specific helmet size.

What does the ECE22.06 certification mean?

ECE22.06 is the latest European standard for motorcycle helmet safety, ensuring the helmet meets rigorous testing requirements for impact absorption, retention system strength, peripheral vision, and other critical safety aspects. This certification indicates a high level of protection and compliance with modern safety regulations.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable after extended wear.

While a snug fit is essential for safety, discomfort might indicate the wrong size. Re-check the sizing guide. Ensure the Double D strap is properly adjusted, not overtightened. The removable interior pads might also need to settle or be re-seated properly. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size.

Visor fogs up during riding, especially in cold or humid conditions.

The helmet's visor is Max Pinlock-ready. Install a Pinlock anti-fog insert (sold separately) for the most effective fog prevention. You can also use the micro-opening system on the visor for a small amount of ventilation to clear light fog.

Excessive wind noise is present during rides.

Ensure the visor is fully closed and securely latched. Check that the removable wind protection and nose guard are properly installed. Wind noise can also be affected by helmet fit; ensure the helmet is the correct size and fits snugly, as gaps can increase noise.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed stability and performance due to advanced aerodynamic design.
  • Excellent safety standards and latest ECE22.06 certification.
  • Wide, panoramic vision (190° horizontal) for increased awareness.
  • Comfortable, removable, and washable interior that accommodates eyewear.
  • Lightweight construction contributes to reduced rider fatigue.
  • Easy visor removal (Extra Quick Release) and micro-opening system for ventilation.

Cons

  • Communication system is a provision, not included, requiring a separate purchase.
  • Pinlock anti-fog insert is Max Pinlock-ready but needs to be purchased separately.
  • Shell is made of thermoplastic material, which may be perceived as less premium than composite/carbon fiber alternatives (though it maintains a lightweight profile).

Setup 1. Initial Fit Check: Ensure the helmet fits snugly, not too tight, and doesn't move excessively when shaken. The Double D retention system should be adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit under the chin. 2. Communication System: This helmet includes a provision for communication systems. Consult your communication system's manual for installation instructions, utilizing the helmet's pre-designed spaces. Compatibility - Goggles/Eyewear: The interior is specifically designed to allow comfortable wear of prescription glasses or sunglasses. - Pinlock: The visor is Max Pinlock-ready, allowing installation of a Max Pinlock anti-fog lens for clear vision in all weather. - Communication Systems: Compatible with various universal communication systems that fit within the designated internal channels. Care 1. Interior Cleaning: The Dry-Comfort fabric interior is removable and washable. Gently remove the cheek pads and liner, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely before re-installing. 2. Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild soap to clean the thermoplastic shell. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. 3. Visor Care: The scratch-resistant Ultravision visor should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners. For Pinlock inserts, follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. 4. Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, preferably in a helmet bag to prevent scratches.
