Want the lightest full-face road helmet around? Look no further than the AGV K6 S...
1 Nov 2024
This is my third AGV and it’s transformed my rides, whether carving through country lanes or cruising motorways. This full-face helmet blends sporty flair with touring comfort, making it a versatile choice for any rider.
The build quality is exceptional—its carbon-aramid fibre shell, available in three sizes, feels robust yet weighs just 1,663 grams. Built to AGV’s Extreme Safety standards, it surpasses ECE 22.06 with a five-density EPS liner for excellent impact protection. No creaks or weak spots; it’s crafted to last.
Comfort is superb. The interior, lined with high-quality, water-repellent fabrics, includes customisable 5mm pads and cheek pads that fit snugly without pressure points. Ventilation is spot-on—the Air Diffusion Crown Pad channels air effectively, keeping me cool even on warm days. It’s quiet too, ideal for long rides without earplugs.
The matte black with red accents looks cracking—understated yet sharp, complementing any bike’s style without being OTT. It’s a proper head-turner at pit stops.
The real gem is the integrated Cardo Insyde comms system, designed specifically for the K7. It’s seamlessly built-in, IP65 waterproof, and uses DMC Mesh to connect up to 15 riders over 6 km with crisp audio and auto volume adjustment. App-controlled, it handles calls, music, and group chats effortlessly, with a 13-hour battery that’s rechargeable on the go. No bulky units—just sleek, reliable tech.
it’s a premium buy, but for safety, style, and connectivity, it’s worth every quid. Highly recommended!
Really nice helmet well designed, comfortable fit and easy to use with spectacles. I like the Pinlock screen supplied for the main visor, and the sun visor works well. Noise levels are in the same range as other helmets I've had, tolerable and earplugs help.
Airflow seems good, but I've not ridden in hot weather....currently early autumn here in North Yorkshire?
In summary...great helmet, good price....very quick (overnight ) delivery.
Thanks
Very good light weight helmet. Tight to get on or off to start with and a snug fit once on and comfortable. Grate airflow through vent best I’ve had. Would recommend and buy again.
Nothing
Went for this helmet for its good visibility, comfort, air flow and I can wear standard glasses with it. I have some neck problems so can't use a heavy helmet, but the weight of this helmet is fine. It's much quieter than my previous helmet (Marushin). Staff in the shop were very helpful and informative when approached, but they let me look around the store without any interference other than to ask if I was OK. I ordered the helmet in because it wasn't in the local store and it arrived within two days. I was able to try it on in store for as long as I needed, so very happy with the helmet and the service. The price of the helmet was excellent compared to other retailers.
Snug fit round the neck and good sizing.
Maybe not the nest helmet if you have a wider face as it’s quit tight to the cheeks
Great helmet for the price. Bargain and meets latest ECE22.06 safety standard.
Can’t beat SBS for price or value. Loads of help by staff who are all friendly, knowledgable and helpful.
