AGV is an Italian motorcycle helmet manufacturer active in motorcycle sport. Founded in 1947 by Gino Amisano, since 2007 the company is a subsidiary of Dainese, which was taken over by Investcorp in 2019. The AGV brand is well known in motorcycle sport.
AGV makes a range of motorcycle helmets, including full-face racing, sport, touring and off-road models to modular helmets, urban jet helmets and open-face cruiser designs, using various materials including carbon fibere aramid, fiberglass, and thermoplastics.
Current AGV helmets are developed with an integrated technical development and construction approach the company calls the AGV Extreme Safety protocol, which AGV says has measurable benefits.
Since the beginning, AGV’s history has been directly linked to the one of riders who have made the motorcycle history: Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Angel Nieto, Marco Lucchinelli, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Emerso
Every AGV helmet is made so its wearer can express his or her full potential. Extreme protection, extended visibility, and aerodynamic shapes for superior performance: from the track to the road, everything is designed to increase both riding pleasure and control of the surrounding elements.
This is why we created Extreme Safety, a development protocol that enables us to produce helmets that exceed the latest standards in every way that counts, on both the road and track.
AGV helmets are tested at up to 15 points of impact, including the visor. This is a total of over 150% more points than required by the standard, at a higher impact speed.
The extended panoramic visual field matches the peripheral and vertical vision of the human eye. 190° of extreme horizontal visibility and 85° of vertical visibility means seeing the road, corners, obstacles, and your adversaries like never before.
erfectly balancing all the main components of the helmet leads to superior performance in aerodynamics, comfort, safety, stability at high speeds, lightness, and reduced dynamic weight. The result is a helmet that is beautiful to wear and use.
