The AGV K6 S helmet is an excellent product. It is so light and comfortable, you can almost forget you're wearing it when you're out on the road.
The 'try or buy' service offered by SportsBikeShop is fantastic. I would always recommend anyone tries a helmet on before buying, but it can be hard finding retailers which have a large selection in store. So it was very useful to be able to order the helmet in to try before committing to the purchase.
SportsBikeShop also price matched with another retailer, making the purchase excellent value aswell.
I came from a Ruroc Atlas 4 and this Agv feels miles better! It's comfy, the lining feels great and it's very light. Wind noise is ok but I also wear ear plugs. To round it off the colour is amazing.
Many thanks to sportsbikeshop glasgow. I bought an rst paragon jacket and agv k6s helmet. Both fantastic products and very well priced. I was unsure on what jacket I wanted but thanks to the knowledgeable sales team for their advice purchased the right jacket for me. Great face to face sale.
When you step up from a budget helmet to a premium helmet like this then it makes such a massive difference. The padding is soft and keeps the helmet snug and secure without creating pressure points, the build quality is great and all the components operate in a way that feels like they'll last, and the design on this lid is really colourful with a great finish too. It's a shame not to have a built-in sun visor, but it does accept sunglasses well enough.
I bought this as I'd wanted a Simoncelli replica for years. The fit is excellent, though came up small so had to exchange for a larger size. It's comfortable, quite quiet and gives good visibility. I have another premium brand lid and this is right up there with it. The quality and finish is excellent.
Helmet is extremely light, no excess weight on your neck while riding. Aerodynamics are amazing, helmet slips through the air and there is no buffeting on your head even with a strong head wind. Only been using it a couple of weeks but very impressed, helmet is a long oval shape. the visor does steam up in very cold weather even with the pin lock but this is true of most helmets when the temp drops to 0 or below so use something to cover your nose and redirect the warm air from your breath.
This is a well put together light weight carbon composite crash helmet. It is very comfortable and quite and really looks the part. The visor has a neat 2 stage catch that allows you to have it slightly open, or completely closed. The overall finish is excellent and I highly recommend this crash helmet. For the price I think it is excellent value when compared to much higher priced helmets.

All the technology developed for professional MotoGP riders, in a helmet that's ideal for every road use. K6 S is the essence of versatility, developed for maximum performance. Suitable for every type of riding and all road surfaces, it incorporates the best characteristics from the sport and touring worlds and is ideal for taking on any two-wheeled challenge, from leaning into the turns on winding roads to long-range trips, by way of everyday city rides. Its carbon and aramid fibre shell ensures the very best protective performance in its category and makes it the lightest full-face road helmet in the world. Due to the stringent AGV Extreme Safety design protocol, K6 S passes all the tests required by the strict ECE22.06 standard by a large margin, making the helmet 36% safer than the levels required by the latest road homologations. The aerodynamic shapes developed in the wind tunnel are optimised for ideal air penetration in any riding position, making this solution perfect for riders who want the freedom to select their own riding styles, without compromise. The aerodynamic spoiler evolves to split the air and limit buffeting at cruising speeds. The superior comfort eliminate distractions and lets you focus only on the road and obstacles, throughout the journey. The premium interiors are waterproof and ventilated. They are designed so riders can cover endless miles in total comfort with only the road ahead to focus on. The innovative air vents on the forehead and chinguard are designed for easy adjustment even when wearing gloves, which means the rider always has the right amount of ventilation. The large, comfortable interior of the chinguard is designed to take advantage of maximum ventilation with vents open.
AGV know who the real champions are. Some of the most important riders of all time have helped AGV to make motorcycle history. From Giacomo Agostini to Angel Nieto, from Barry Sheene to Wayne Rainey up to the present day with Valentino Rossi; a stream of champions that started 60 years ago. AGV helmets are undoubtedly born out of a passion for racing that is second to none. AGV offer a full range of full face, open face, flip front and off road helmets for everyone's biking needs.
