Here is the press release for the AGV K6 Helmet…
Vicenza, Italy (October 9, 2019) – AGV presents K6, a comfortable and versatile road helmet, perfect for any use, any motorbike and any rider. Thanks to the use of technologies derived from the Pista GP R, the AGV MotoGP™ helmet, K6 combines maximum safety with a unique static and dynamic weight, for increased riding comfort.
Every detail of K6 is designed to offer the highest level of protection and provide the safety a rider needs to fully express themselves in any situation, in total comfort for optimum performance.
The shell in refined carbon-aramid fiber and the five different densities of EPS offer protection that is 48% greater than that required by standards regarding HIC and G values, all combined with never-before-seen lightness. The visor mechanisms are extremely limited in size to maximize the area of shell coverage, keeping safety levels at a peak across the entire surface of the helmet. Their construction, in metal, considerably increases the resistance of the visor in case of impact.
The exclusive AGV Ultravision guarantees an unrivaled peripheral field of 190°, while the class 1 optic visor, completed with 100% Max Vision Pinlock 120 anti-fogging system, is up to 4.3mm in thickness. The Micro-Lock system allows opening for air flow while keeping the visor securely fastened to the chinguard, making it an integral part of the protection system. The profile of the helmet is designed to not hit the collarbone in case of impact, an AGV invention that is now standard in the racing world. The most demanding test bench in racing gives K6 the characteristics to allow a rider to see the road and obstacles better and ahead of time.
The design of the shell and the rear extractor maximize the aerodynamic performance of the helmet, allowing the K6 to split the air and maintain great stability even at high speed. K6 offers maximum performance whatever the riding position, from the most comfortable to the sportiest and, being very well balanced, the dynamic weight proves neutral at cruising speed.
K6, with a weight of just 1220 grams, is one of the world’s lightest road helmets. K6 offers unprecedented comfort during riding, reducing fatigue levels to a minimum and thereby increasing active safety. Developed to meet to the highest level of requirements, the interior is created with first-rate technical materials and solutions, anti-wear, waterproof fabric used for the outer layer and a breathable material that absorbs sweat for the inner. The ventilation system features five large air vents and is characterized by a central opening, positioned to ensure the greatest possible air flow.
Created using technologies developed for MotoGP™, K6 offers quality and technological innovation in a comfortable, lightweight helmet, perfect for any type of use.
