AGV K1/S Helmet Review (Baby Pista GP RR)

[@FlyinBentley]

Bro I used to watch I Know Football when I played. Now I’m looking for bikes and helmets 😂 crazy how our interests align over time, anyway nice vids as always

[@IKnowFootball]

I still got IKF too!

[@BoostedBunny]

That’s what’s up. What Bike and Helmet you looking for?

[@FlyinBentley]

@@BoostedBunny I got the K3 Rossi Mugello! And probably 600RR or R6, wish I was man enough for the V4 straight away tho

[@FlyinBentley]

@@IKnowFootball still subbed 💪🏾

[@BoostedBunny]

@@FlyinBentley600cc is fast enough. You can do so much more with them. I'm waiting for Ducati to update their middleweight bike and I'll likely sell my V4 and 899 to get that.

[@nope.c]

Hey man.. if you dont opt for the pin lock, then nothing in your field of vision in full tuck, right? Great review btw! Just ordered a k1s!

[@BoostedBunny]

I think it won't be in yiur line of vision in a full tuck without a Pinlock. For street riding it has been phenomenal minus it's loud but it's such a great helmet for the price. Tell me how you like the S when it comes in!

[@fredyph30]

Yeah. Pin locks are pointless. Don't put that on. Without that, the field of vision is amazing in this model

[@deus2645]

bought it, because it is 5star rated on sharp test

[@BoostedBunny]

Nice!

[@andreyt96]

Hello! My size is a L which is the smallest one for the bigger outer shell size. Should I choose another helmet or stick with this one?

[@BoostedBunny]

If the helmet fits then it's a solid helmet. Still one of my favorites. I'll do reviews and comparisons soon.

[@datAero]

Are the aero gains there at low city speeds like 40mph ? Does the aero gains make it better than the lighter shoei comfort wise ? What what speed do the aero gains start ?

[@BoostedBunny]

Great question. The Shoei is still aerodynamic so at city speeds it still great. I would way I felt less buffering at over 100 miles per hour. Maybe like 120mph +. So really at track speeds is when you feel it.

[@datAero]

@@BoostedBunny thanks

[@greatestnoob11]

I did notice a slight magnification on the visor that is in between the pinlock and helmet shell. Not sure if i should consider it an extra feature? All in all I love the helmet.

[@BoostedBunny]

It's a phenomenal helmet for the price. Like ridiculously good.

[@FiveMCity]

ear plugs? I love hearing the deep muscle rev of my Duc ❤

[@BoostedBunny]

I love my hearing lol...and I want to keep it. So I wear ear plugs.

[@FiveMCity]

@@BoostedBunny fair enough

[@dcd5050]

Awesome review my friend, but i found funny the "I dont use it cause green clashes qith the red " ....... literally a red and green itsly flag 2 fingers down hahaha

[@dcd5050]

Also. You will want the smallest shell size... me crying my xl head eyes out

[@BoostedBunny]

😂😂😂 this is a good point. I started using the blue springs full time now and it makes the visor snappier and holds down more at speed.

[@niggyschliggy6057]

Would this helmet pass the ece 2206 rating,? Thanks

[@BoostedBunny]

Not sure. It is ECE.2205 and the new K1s is ECE.2206. It may pass but it doesn't have the certification printed on the helmet.

[@niggyschliggy6057]

@@BoostedBunny Thanks I appreciate it, I love this color way more than any of the K1s options, but I feel that its stupid for me to buy the less safe helmet just cause it looks cool haha

[@BoostedBunny]

@@niggyschliggy6057 less safe. These helmets often exceed the certifications. Think of it like you taking a test. Just because you pass the test doesn't mean you don't know more. It just means you passed what you were tested

[@niggyschliggy6057]

I appreciate you boss, I am planning to go for the mugello, if you have an affiliate link i would be happy to use it @@BoostedBunny

[@BoostedBunny]

@@niggyschliggy6057I appreciate you. Since this particular color isn't available on Amazon I don't have an affiliate link, but I always appreciate a SuperThanks! It all helps. What bike you riding now?

[@felipezapata9693]

What was your Shoei RF-1200 size? I have an RF-1200 and also looking to replace, Shoei’s pricing went to stratosphere…..

[@BoostedBunny]

I think I had a medium

[@layneaic2076]

Hi bro how u doin. What's the size of your helmet? That blue visor is that Iridium or normal blue? Thanks!

[@BoostedBunny]

Size MS and iridium blue.

[@elanalau8948]

How does the tinted visor hold up because I heard they scratch easily?

[@BoostedBunny]

It's holds up well. I read the same thing so I really keep mine protected when not in use.

[@wanamirhakem2744]

Hi.my head size in 58cm and size M.if i want to buy this helmet.can you suggest to up one size or stick to the M size.sorry for my bad inglish

[@BoostedBunny]

I personally go with the smaller size if I am in-between sizes.

[@RazorTM]

Hi! I'm considering buying this helmet, in black, and I want a black visor... the problem is that I can only find the same visor you have (blue one). Any help? Thx

[@BoostedBunny]

Check the VisorShop online!

[@ScotH22]

Is it possible to put a pista gp rr visor into the k1s?

[@BoostedBunny]

It's not. They have different visor shapes unfortunately

[@ScotH22]

@@BoostedBunny ok thanks!

[@bad71able]

Ngl, I gotta say I can't understand the idea that green visor detents would clash with the red(but the blue less so?) when there are red and green accents all over the helmet already with the flags, the logos and the bulldogs.

[@BoostedBunny]

When they are in the flag they go together but when three colors are just random they aren't complimentary to each other.

[@thatstheguy07]

I just got the same helmet a few weeks ago and it’s giving me this weird sounds in my ears. Like the engine is ticking or something. Comes from the rear. I’ll put my head straight down like towards the tank and it sounds normal. When I raise it I hear it again. Makes the exhaust sound tinny and awful. Super annoying. Never experienced anything like it with other helmets.

[@BoostedBunny]

It sounds like it's just the sound getting into the helmet. It's a race-oriented helmet so having proper head position will reduce the drag and reduce the noise. A couple things to check with the helmet are: 1) Is it the right size. I often see people with Helmets that are two big. 2) Is the face shield closed all the way. Using the blue shield clips will help seal the face shield better because it's the race fit. 3) Are your air vents closed. There are 4 vents on the front of the helmet...of they are pulling in air you will hear more noise. Let me know if any of these helps.

[@thatstheguy07]

@@BoostedBunny yup it’s definitely right size. I just actually opened up all the vents last night to see if that made a difference. Visor definitely all the way closed. And I actually didn’t get those extra pieces with the helmet. Bought it brand new from FortNine here in Canada. Wonder what that’s about.. Anyway thanks for the reply. I wonder if it maybe has something to do with the spots for the ear pieces on each side. I dunno man. Super weird. And annoying, since other than that it’s great.

[@BoostedBunny]

Dang that stinks. Mine clips were in the tiny plastic bag between the paper manual pages.

[@paulforster4730]

Looks better with clear visor

[@Youmadmaddd]

Clear visor is so basic thooo

[@BoostedBunny]

It does right, cuz you can see the mechanisms

[@simoneconigliaro1396]

K3 or k1s?

[@BoostedBunny]

Both great options, but I like the look of the K1s better than K3.

Helmet is noisy as heck! That premium annoyance! I don't like noisy helmets, no matter how protective it is, which it actually isn't any better than other ece and dot brands out there 🤭🤭

[@BoostedBunny]

This helmet is nosiy compared to my Shoei RF-1200 but sportbike helmets are pretty noisy especially depending on your speeds. I suggest investing in a good set of ear plugs. I always ride with them and that helps a ton. There are quieter helmets out there but they tend to be heavier and sometimes have extra features that aren't track approved like a drop down visor. What did you mean by it isn't any better than ECE and DOT? ECE, DOT, Snell, and FIM are all pretty different when it comes to their helmet safety tests.

[@aniv5833]

@@BoostedBunny I do wear earplugs used at noisy construction sites and concerts. But due to the noise levels I can barely hear my cardo JBL speakers at 70-80 mph. I meant, these are equally safe as any other cheaper brand that are truly ece dot certified. example - The Sedici strada helmets from cycle gear are way way quieter than these and equally safe. Their Primo line for $300 are Snell approved for track use. Their interior feels much premium than these Agv's. Only downside is, they don't look as flashy as these Agv's.

[@BoostedBunny]

@@aniv5833ah yes absolutely. I'll share my perspective from working in manufacturing and marketing in the CPG industry for 20 years. I agree with you on the certifications. However the more established brands typically invest more in research and often exceed these certifications vs just meet them. The quality of helmet materials are often much higher in the established brands vs like a Sedici...however that applies to the tiers in the helmet line not the price points. So a $300 Sedici will likely have more premium materials and more features than a $300 AGV but may not have higher quality construction, durability or safety. All in all...any helmet you can afford, you like, and fits you well it's going to be a good helmet IMO.

[@aniv5833]

@@BoostedBunny True True! But these lower tier Agv's are not made by AGV in Italy, Instead in China partnered with MHR helmets, last time I checked. Of course they oversee their manufacturing processes and quality standards, but won't be close to how the Corsa's or Pista GP's are. But I totally get your perspective and agree to what you're saying 🙂
