AGV Sport Modular Full Review, Jeff Ware

The AGV Sport Modular is a high end, high feature all-carbon fibre modular helmet priced from $899 RRP here in Australia. Our editor, Jeff Ware, has been using a SportModular for the past four months, travelling around 10,000km in the helmet. This is his updated review, you can find more info and details on the AGV Sport Modular here - bikereview.com...
The AGV Sport Modular helmet combines the performance of a full face helmet together with the comfort of a modular. Entirely built in Carbon Fiber (shell and chin), this specific structure achieves the same protection performance of MotoGP’s Pista GP R in an incredibly light weight construction, combining the highest levels of comfort and safety.
The shell in 100 per cent carbon fibre is engineered in three sizes with a five-density EPS structure developed in four sizes. This structure offers an extremely safe and compact helmet at an incredibly light weight, ensuring protection is maximised, despite the modular design.
The chin guard is likewise 100 per cent carbon fibre engineered to guarantee minimum weight and great balance even in the open configuration, where more wind resistance will be experienced.
The shell shape is also designed to minimise the risk of impact energies being channeled to the collar bone, while a metal chin guard opening system is designed to prevent accidental openings.
The IVS (Integrated Ventilation System) ventilation features a large front vent, a chin guard vent and a rear extractor hollowed in the shell which direct air to the rider’s head without interference with the internal sun visor. Internal chin channels distribute the air flow evenly through the entire visor surface, helping reduce fogging and clearing the helmet as quickly as possible.
Pricing for the Sport Modular starts at $899 for the glossy carbon, and the helmet is available now at authorised AGV stockists Australia wide. For more information on stockists visit www.agvhelmets.com.au. AGV Helmets are imported and distributed exclusively in Australia by Link International.

You are the first eyeglass wearer to review this helmet, so I welcome your take on fitment. So, while I have an AGV Pista RR; I live in a congested California city and this may suit the need. I've never owned a flip-up, so in-depth reviews are helpful.

[@onthepegs]

Thanks for the review. What about fogging with pinlock? Does it fog up? Also did your vent system fall appart too? Other users complain...

[@simmottos]

Is this homologated to ride chinbar up? Atleast in europe it is not.

[@shegocrazy]

Legal in Aus to ride with the chin up?

[@edcullen1852]

Can you fit a Senna Comms system to the side of the helmet ?

[@monadgreyman9094]

Matt or Gloss? 🤔 I can't make my mind up which looks more authentic carbon Vs pretentious carbon? I cannot see it in person due to COVID. Please advise what everyone thinks? Matt or Gloss?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Gloss looks great on mine...

[@kenbowlus2995]

I got the white one with the wide GLOSS carbon fiber stripe up the middle. Being white with a dark stripe it looks retro / vintage style until people get up close and see the CF, then the "oo's" and "ah's" really start. I'll never understand the matte paint finish thing. Manufacturers and custom car builders have been seeking the deepest gloss clear coats for over 50 years that looked like you could dive into the paint, and then about a decade ago somebody thought a "slealth" matte black finish would be the new hot ticket. Um, no, just no. Painting your expensive 6 figure car to look like it was done in rattle can primer is about the most backward arse thinking I've seen in the car world. I think it's a cruel joke being played on the car buying public by manufacturers that have conned us into believing we don't need the expensive clear coats that protect the paint and make the paint color pop. Oh, and, "GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!" Lol

Noise level?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Sorry about the two year late reply! It's pretty noisy actually.

What is the comm system you installed?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

No comm system on this one, it has a mount to take a Contour camera however, which looks like some of the lower profile comm systems.
