AGV AX9 Helmet - Road Test and Review

[@WorldCommander]

Very well laid out review. Thanks. I just bought one! I expected it to weigh less though-1670g about 143g more than my old Arai Quantum. But it's a different breed of cat. Love the Man Cave and that Lic plate on your left LWD 336. I used to work at Walters Mercedes Benz in Riverside.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks. Thats so cool that you worked there, I picked up the frame at swap meet as my surname is Walters!

[@whiterabbitt2002]

How much does the Helmet weigh ?

[@alharris1508]

Thanks for a great review...

[@mancavemoto]

My pleasure!

[@frankvecsei7918]

Thank you again for a great review.

[@mancavemoto]

No problem

[@tony_sims]

Yet another great video. What is the jacket you are wearing?

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Tony, its an RST Paragon V which is my ‘winter/cold weather’ gear. It was sunny that day, but only about 5 degrees C

[@rheyza4475]

Awesome review man. Thanks

[@mancavemoto]

No problem

[@millylegume9431]

i got this early before review. good stuff

[@mancavemoto]

Nice

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

Planning on getting one of these to replace my AGV K1, because of how bad the bastard leaks in rain (I've ridden in the past 4 storms we've had and I am pretty sick of the seal breaking in about 5 minutes). From memory, did you find the seal on the visor to be decent with the partial amount of rain you experienced? Also, how was the temperature regulation in the cold when you were riding. in regards to keeping you at least not chilly?

[@mancavemoto]

Hi, yes the seal seemed to work well and with all the vents closed it does cut down the drafts a lot. Not completely, but its usable

[@sukhoi3747]

How's the ventilation compare to Arai Tour-X 4?

[@mancavemoto]

The Arai does offer more ventilation

[@sukhoi3747]

Views from the Man Cave thanks !

[@hugoidalecio3999]

Good evening, is the chin too far from the front of the helmet or is there little space? Thanks

[@mancavemoto]

Theres lots of space in the chin bar

[@neilgarrad4931]

Thanks

[@mancavemoto]

No problem

[@berniebne8243]

Pity I don't need a new helmet!! How's the Tiger going? Any thoughts on altering those silly front indicators?

[@mancavemoto]

The Tigers going well thanks Bernie. Altering the indicators in what way?

[@berniebne8243]

@@mancavemotoCave if you lay the bike down, it's an adventure bike, after all. The 1st thing to touch/break is a front indicator. It happened to me closing a gate,. I consulted Google & found that I wasn't alone, so I fitted upper crash bars $300+ ouch & replaced the std indicators with ones that fitted inside the crash bars $8 & placed another set on top of the fog lights $15. This also protects the radiator.

[@mancavemoto]

Ah right I’m with you now. Hasn’t happened to me (yet) but something worth exploring

[@beardedplanet3806]

Does the Pinlock fits in the ax8 ??????

[@beardedplanet3806]

Nobody ????

[@mancavemoto]

No, sadly the pinlock is not interchangeable between the AX8 and AX9

[@blancodambrosiolettieri4809]

Ciao ho un problema con questo casco, il dentino della visiera non rimane incastrato quando la visiera è chiusa e con il minimo movimento si apre la visiera, è normale?

[@mancavemoto]

Non è un problema che ho riscontrato. Potrebbe valere la pena parlare con il tuo rivenditore o rivenditore?

[@MrDarkoiV]

Any chance of you testing AGV X3000? I am thinking of it vs Shoei RYD

[@mancavemoto]

I may have that coming up, but of the two I can say the RYD will perform better....

[@MrDarkoiV]

@@mancavemoto yeah, but the style of x3000 tho. Anyway looking forward to review, thanks man.

[@bobvandick2546]

I would like to know the actual size of the speaker pockets....not all speaker pockets are created equal 😊

[@mancavemoto]

I'll try and dig out some measurements for you

[@bobvandick2546]

@@mancavemoto thanks Man Cave, I would appreciate it.

[@ovidiuandrei8087]

Hi. Can you tell me what size did you get ? I'm a medium in Shoei (Gt-Air) and I was wondering if I should get MS or ML in Agv. Thx

[@mancavemoto]

This helmet is a Large, which is what I am in a Shoei. The sizing is pretty accurate although the AGV is a slightly different shape. I found it to be marginally bigger (not much) than the equivalent Shoei size.

[@sudenrajbhandari9158]

I have own one. With out Pinlock this helmet with visor is useless. Lots of fogging. With a pinlock also still have problem on small patches of fogging in traffic. Helmet is pretty comfortable and light wight is very nice. Vent on the top is very nice, feel the air form the top also. And if the is more ventilation it would be pretty nice. I think for winter this is pretty good. View form the helmet is very good. By analysing all the information this helmet is very good. I recommend to have a little more ventilation on the helmet.

[@beardedplanet3806]

I have the ax8 and no Pinlock, but does the ax9 Pinlock fits the ax8 ??!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

You don't wear sunglasses with a helmet that doesn't have an inner visor? I was flabbergasted until I remembered where you live. lol

[@mancavemoto]

Lol, the sun does shine here sometimes

[@Agelluisdominguez]

No lo compres, en dos meses el un mecanismo de la visera rota, en 4 meses el otro y se ha perdido el clip de la correa, aparte de que es insoportable lo rumoroso que es, es tirar el dinero.Lo mejor de este casco es el departamento de marketing.
