all new AGV K6 - Moto Unboxings - v1131

[@itssmehere]

40+ years wearing matt black helmets was getting very old for me, it was the same for me as in as soon as I seen the nardo grey AGV K6 I had to have one,it weighs less than my old open face and so quite....very happy

[@ducatinyc]

I hear that. My last helmet, the RF1200 was white and I loved it. K6 is nardo grey but my next helmet, RF1400 will be white again I believe.

[@mark222b]

You went from black, to white, to gray. Beautiful helmet!

[@ducatinyc]

Indeed. Nice little color pallet.

[@spetersonmusic]

Nice!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[@ducatinyc]

THANK YOU MEGA MUCH :)

[@roughbalance]

That grey tho!! Happy birthday grumpy old man :)

[@ducatinyc]

Hehe thank you ❤️❤️🙂❤️

[@foxtrotbravo]

happy birthday man! the best ones are born in january! :D

[@ducatinyc]

It's true - all the best folks are born in January :) THANK YOU!

[@matimateo6932]

what is the weight size L?

[@ducatinyc]

2.6 lbs I believe.

[@johnjacob688]

Is the AGV smaller on the outside than the Shoei? The one thing I liked about my Shoei was how it didn't make me look like a bobble head.

[@e32amgfinatic]

John Jacob that comes down to having different shell sizes for different size helmets, shoei has a different shell for each size helmet to cut down on the bobble head look

[@ducatinyc]

Hmmm.... seems like its about the same size but i never thought Shoei makes me look like bobble head - I like the look :)

[@TheUfromgeorgia]

So, if Shoei Glamster size L is perfect for me, which AGV K6 size will be similar to Shoei Glamster size L?

[@ducatinyc]

Glamster? Dont have that helmet

[@TheUfromgeorgia]

@@ducatinyc what is your shoei helmet size ?

[@markdeguzman5995]

Happy birthday brother! Congrats on the new helmet. I might get same helmet but the matte black version. Still figuring out which size i should get since i wear a XL (yup big head big brain!) HJC bought here in Japan. Ride safe.

[@ducatinyc]

THANK YOU! Been meaning to try AGV for awhile and between the fit and the color - I had to have this one. I hate buying helmets, its always such a pain to get the size right.

[@spiggidyyy]

I dont need a new helmet. I dont need a new helmet. I dont need a new helmet... hmmm. Are there any deals on Revzilla for AGV?

[@ducatinyc]

DO IT. DOOO IT. DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

[@powamoto]

I was looking for a new lid. I trust in DucNYC. Nice looking lid. Might get one.

[@ducatinyc]

Can't go wrong with K6 - but def take a look at RF1400

[@powamoto]

@@ducatinyc I like using chin mounts so the k6 is a no go for me but love the lid

[@sv650nyc7]

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, let me be the security nerd: you should replace every helmet after 5 years of use or 7 years after it was made, at the latest. The Styrofoam/EPS liner material that is responsible for absorbing any crash impacts, dries out over time and becomes brittle, loosing its absorption properties. I'd rather spend a little less on a helmet (you can get SNELL certified helmets for $150) but replace them every 3 years or so.

[@ducatinyc]

Yep yep, exactly. Both of my other helmets were made in 2014/2015 - so sadly its time to retire them. I dont mind spending a bit more on a helmet since its a crown jewel of any motorcycle experience and that new helmet feels are unparalleled. Like this AGV. Going forward I'll wait less than 5-6 years to switch tho. Not sure about 3, but 4 sounds about right.

[@cheski8468]

Piccante! Happy B-Day!

[@ducatinyc]

THANK YOU BROSKI!!!!!

[@heyhey-dl6if]

I am gonna get this one (only the matt black one) for the next seasson, cant wait!

[@ducatinyc]

This helmet is quite dope. I'm a fan.

[@markf721]

Was between AGV and Arai for my last helmet, ended up with the Arai - no wrong choice in my opinion, but do love the look of the AGV helmets.

[@ducatinyc]

I've had nothing but Shoeis for the last 6 years - originally tried a AGV but it didnt fit right and Arai, I didn't like the looks. This round the AGV fits perfect and I tried on the new Arai and that felt even better but I was commited to the color and the cute AGV logo :)

[@ernstwondering899]

Dang - that is one nice cranium container! I'm currently an Arai user, but have been looking at other helmets companies. I didn't know that Rossi was part owner of AGV - not just an awe inspiring rider, but a business savvy fellow as well! I have always struggled with what to do with old helmets - I am not aware of any type of recycling program, but given all the materials, I would think they would be good for recycling. Enjoy breaking in the new AGV and thanks for sharing! EW :)

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you for watching! I'm very much excited for this one. At this point I only have 3 helmets so I'm keeping all of them as a little display. ANd yea, Rossi has like 50% ownership of AGV I think :)

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

I ordered this helmet. Can’t wait to try it on and see how it fits. Hopefully it’s a keeper.

[@ducatinyc]

I love the fit, the weight, the materials are so so so soft. I think you'll like it.

[@i94yeh2p]

Whoa. Looks like one of those $800 helmets. It will definitely save your life unlike my $65-$100 helmets. Lol! I bought mine mainly for the MSF course. Later I found out there's no such thing as a "entry level" helmet.

[@ducatinyc]

Hehe yea.... entry level - when you care about your head just a little bit :P

[@ogonik]

Looks better and just as comfortable as the Shoei and Arai.

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. I still love my Shoei's tho - will get the RF1400 as a second helmet come summer.

[@喔咿喔咿喔]

Shoei RF1200 VS. AGV K6 ,Which one do you prefer?

[@ducatinyc]

Hard to decide. I love them both. AGV is clearly lighter and quiter.

[@NYCCBOYY]

I saw this in the motorcycle show at NYC , and this is for sure my next helmet ❗️❗️

[@ducatinyc]

Same with me! Saw it at Javitz!

[@NYCCBOYY]

Yea man I know I was too busy soaking up all the bikes I didn’t check my Instagram story to check if you went

[@TomVestvik]

Congratulations! The three helmets next to each other, looks like the Italian flag in black and white.

[@ducatinyc]

Ha! Very true. And yea.... i love the little line up. All the colors are so pleasing :)

[@dvera9726]

How’s the field of view compared to the Shoei rf1200?

[@ducatinyc]

Its better, for sure

[@dvera9726]

@@ducatinyc oh I didn’t know it was coming out. Cool I’ll look into that one too thanks.

[@vinzo2385]

im actually debating between the RF1200 to the AGV K6. which one you think??? is the AGV that much lighter?

[@ducatinyc]

It def is that much lighter - however I do not have long miles on AGV so can't form a strong opinion. RF1200 is perfect.

[@bebonote]

Thank you for this beautiful review, i want to ask you something please because i want to buy one for me my head size is 60cm exactly it's normal that is my size is Large in most brand but in AGV i find ML size is 59-60cm and L Size is 60-61cm what you recommend to me because i will order this helmet online from another country, thank you

[@ducatinyc]

Hmmmm, I don't want to give you wrong advice about sizing. I always wear Large in Shoei and I got a L in AGV, so I would go with L. However my AGV broke after only little over 2 years. The safety foam cracked in half eventhough I never dropped or damaged the helmet. Their warranty is ONLY 1 year and they refused to replace it - so I'm back with the brand I trust - and got a Shoei RF1400 a few weeks ago to replace the now broken AGV. Real shame. Makes me sad.

[@bebonote]

@@ducatinyc thank you so much for your advice , i never try shoei before but of course i will look for it and buy one , thanks have a safe ride

[@TheAberto4]

Need your opinion, AGV K6 or the new Shoei RF 1400? Which one do you think is better?

[@ducatinyc]

I absolutely LOVE my RF1200 and will be most deffinitely picking up a RF1400. It's a hard choice between K6 and 1400 to be honest but i just loooove my 1200 so much that if 1400 was on the market when I bought the k6 i probably would have bought the 1400. Super tough call my friend, i love this AGV but id go with 1400 without even trying it simply because 1200 was so good. Sorry, I feel like I rambled.

[@TheAberto4]

@@ducatinyc shoei number 1 trusted brand

[@InegoMinblan]

Так а Shoei в размере L сидит более туго, чем K6 в размере ML ? Или одинакого они сидят ? А можно узнать высоту визора и ширину в сантиметрах ? Можно бы было отдельно видео сделать на котором снять два визора Shoei и AGV и сравнить который больше и шире по углам обзора, ибо в инете нигде никто такой информации не предоставляет. Ещё вопрос, в не заедает ли вентиляционная задвижка на подбородке у Shoei ? Легко открывается со временем ?

[@ducatinyc]

Hey there. I should do a compare video of them side by side and measure all of these things. Not a bad idea. They fit about the same. K6 is a little looser almost. And never had an issue with the air vents on the Shoei, super easy every time. Sorry i'm replying in English.

[@InegoMinblan]

@@ducatinyc It would be great of comparising video of both side by side, dont forget to pick up the scales it is intresting who will be the winner in weight. But when you are planing to do this ? I going to buy one of this allready next week, but still cant decide which one to pick, there are moments which better in one and opposite.

[@dedmatros]

WOOOOOOW ! 💣

[@ducatinyc]

I love it :)

[@Full985]

Which size u got ?

[@ducatinyc]

I got the ML

[@VinylTherapy]

Thanks for the unboxing, I’m currently shopping this one with the Shoei. I’ve seen KZbin videos mention issues with the button that releases the shield sticking - have you had any issues? Would you choose the k6 again over the rf-1400? Thanks again.

[@ducatinyc]

I guess I would not call it sticking button - i would say its a bit tricky to push it perfectly every time, but i never was NOT able to open my shield. Its fine. That being said - my next helmet will be RF1400, AGV was fun to try but Shoei is my standard.

[@Bear5491]

Looks nice, can’t wait to hear the feedback after you use and abuse it.

[@ducatinyc]

First ride with it today. Perfect so far - except I installed the pinlock incorrectly. Ugh.

[@Bear5491]

Good deal. Pin locks are tricky. I find it hard to take a new face shield off a new helmet and bend it the way it needs to be. My last one was a transition lens which made it worse. Then there is the question, did I do it right?

[@MTNPANTS]

Just got mine as a birthday gift to myself. Looks like you got the ML size. I’m 5’9” 155 and the SM is wayyyy too small. You think ML should be good? Thanks my man, I like your style- subbed 👍

[@ducatinyc]

hard to tell with helmets. My ML is a tinnnnnnnny bit too large. I wonder if i can get some thicker pads for it.

How about ventilation? Is it good or do you feel the difference?

[@ducatinyc]

It's pretty good. Compared to my RF1200 Shoei the K6 is def a bit hotter, but its also ALOT lighter and MUCH quiter so it makes up for it. Id imagine as soon as the temps drop a bit K6 will be perfect.

Ducati NYC Vlog I still have my Schuberth but holy smokes I need a new one when I get back. I actually just contacted Schuberth here in Germany to see if they do tours of the factory here would love to see the process. I assume because of the virus they aren’t doing any, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right?

[@NVK85]

I can see this is an ML size. Need some more info on sizing: what is your head size in cm? what is your Shoie RF-1200 size? I have rf-1200 LG size, so this info would help a lot.

[@ducatinyc]

NVK85 not sure about my head in cm but you are in luck! I wear a L rf1200 and this agv is ML and fits like a god damn glove. Its perfection.

Is the AGV K6 actually made in Italy, or China? Trying to ascertain this otherwise I’ll go for a Japanese made Shoei.

[@ducatinyc]

I believe it is indeed made in China. I learned that afterwards but you know what - this helmet is dope anyway. I had the japanese Shoei for a few years and this feels fantastic.

[@Epikteto3]

@@ducatinyc Thanks for the response mate. Yes I'm sure it's still a good lid, however it comes at a premium cost even though it's Chinese made, which definitely puts me off. For the same money here (Australia) I can buy a Japanese made Shoei or Italian made X-Lite so I will look at those. I had the same experience when I bought my latest bike too, being keen on the Triumph Speed Twin until I discovered it's made in Thailand. So for AU$4000 less I went with a new Japanese made Honda CB1000R that looks as good, goes better and has more features. Crazy world we live in.
