When you are shopping for your motorcycle helmets, you need first to confirm your favorite types of helmets, then choose a brand. Most prefers helmets made in Italy, but why?
BECAUSE ITALY IS AWESOME! (joke) Helmet makers from AGV helmets, Giro, and Lazer have always connected closely to Italy. AGV helmets was started in Italy, and Giro and Lazer are based there now. Lazer did a study once that had a number of measurements on the average human head, and from that came up with the average size for a helmet. Bell helmets and Giro then took that size, made a helmet specifically for that size, and voila…you had the AGV k series and Giro Xar. They have been really successful.
Today we offer you the 5 best Italian Motorcycle Helmets that you can trust and we have reviewed them each.
AGV Helmets
AGV is an Italian motorcycle helmet manufacturer with a long history in motorcycle racing. Founded in 1947 by Gino Amisano, the company has been involved in many different racing series over the years. Today, AGV is still a major player in the motorcycle racing world, with many top riders using its products. We’ve picked 5 helmets from AGV.
AGV K1 Soleluna 2017 Helmet
Aerodynamic improvements to the AGV K1 Soleluna 2017 Helmet were made after testing on the Corsa R and Pista GP R in a wind tunnel. The shell and spoiler work together to keep you stable in the air at high speeds, and the spoiler has a passive rear vent that lets hot air out of your helmet while you ride. The K1 borrows the center air intake located just above the visor from the MotoGP-developed Pista GP R for unrivaled cooling.

AGV K3 SV Helmet
The AGV K3 SV Helmet draws from the company’s previous work on the Pista GP and Corsa helmets as well as the success of the original K3 model. A tiny, integrated rear spoiler helps to decrease air resistance and contributes to the aerodynamic shell’s aggressive design. The helmet’s stability is increased by the fact that its short chin bar is aerodynamically designed to reduce drag when traveling at high speeds.
The AGV K3 SV has a sun visor that can be lowered, making it a cutting-edge, hostile street or touring helmet. When using Bluetooth speakers, the K3’s speaker pocket cut outs reduce the amount of pressure applied to the user’s ears, making it more comfortable to use. For riders who care about style as much as protection, the AGV K-3 SV Helmet is a great option.

AGV K1 Dreamtime Helmet
The AGV K1 Dreamtime Helmet was designed with the wind tunnel tested Corsa R and Pista GP R in mind, therefore it has an aerodynamic form, ventilation system, and spoiler. The shell and spoiler work together to keep you stable in the air at high speeds, and the spoiler has a passive rear vent that lets hot air out of your helmet while you ride. The K1 borrows the center air intake located just above the visor from the MotoGP-developed Pista GP R for unrivaled cooling.

AGV Pista GP RR Futuro Forgiato Helmet
If you want a helmet just like the ones world-class racers use, go no further than the AGV Pista GP RR Futuro Forgiato. It provides the maximum level of protection possible, including against glancing collisions that might produce rotational motion, and it satisfies the strict requirements of the FIM Racing Homologation. The helmet’s aerodynamic performance and unique appearance are both enhanced by the use of forged carbon fiber, which has been shaped into a novel design. To allow fresh air to circulate freely within the helmet, AGV’s Integrated Ventilation System (IVS) has five big front metal air vents and two rear extractors. Its closer-fitting shell is achieved by using only four shell sizes across seven helmet sizes. The helmet has a face shield that provides a broad horizontal field of view and maximum vertical height, making it ideal for the aggressive tucking racing posture. The face shield is less likely to open in a collision thanks to AGV’s unique Visor Lock System (VLS). The Pista GP RR’s liner was designed with input from MotoGP racers to provide the best possible fit and location on the wearer’s head. The AGV Pista GP RR Carbon Performance Helmet is optimized for racing at high speeds on a circuit.

AGV K6 Helmet
AGV’s K6 Helmet is designed to be the only motorcycle helmet you’ll ever need by combining the greatest features of sport and touring helmets. Its carbon and aramid fiber shell provide superior protection while being lightweight. The helmet’s adaptable design is a product of its aerodynamic form, which makes it useful in any riding posture. With four available shell sizes, you may choose the best possible fit for your head circumference and head shape. Liners that wick away moisture from your skin keep you dry and comfortable even on long rides. To design a single helmet suitable for all riders, AGV combined all of their years of experience developing road helmets into the AGV K6.
