Entertaining video, BUT THIS IS A RACING ENGINEERED HELMET. I wear mine daily on the road and it’s comfortable, no issues. Always wear earplugs no matter if Pista, Aria Corsair X, or Shoei X-14.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. The helmet comes with vent plugs. Visors should be down when going over 25 mph. It's a loud helmet because it's so well ventilated.
@@YAMR1000 He said the fact that they’re plugs is dumb cause you lose them. I guess he prefers the sliders over the vents like on the Corsa R. It’s a race helmet though not necessarily a daily commuting helmet so those are most of his complaints 💁🏻♂️ it’s like complaining that a Ferrari doesn’t have cup holders.
You are completely right,but how many Ferraris live on track,not having cup holders in any car is pain in the ass. So much that Lamborghini offers cup holder for the Hurricane for like 1000 bucks. 🤣
i have this helmet and I love it. The visor doesn't come down as you said. even at high speeds of 130 kmh it remains open. It also has a third position. you can close it fully or partially, leaving gap for air to pass through. Also the visor lock works perfectly fine. always. Maybe you have to adjust it on yours. Well the noise.. its a racing helmet, its supposed to let noise in. But with a send 30k and some music it works just fine for me. Also the spoiler never vibrated on my helmet lol. Loosing the rubber plugs is on you. Personally I never use them in the rain either because no fluid has ever touched my Head.
I totally agree with that,and i have already buy another lid so pista is now dedicated track only helmet.But if someone buying this helmet for street use only i just wanted to give them a little heads up.
1- Its not true it got 3 opening. Closed, 1cm open and fully open. 2- You didnt follow instruction and swap the right lock hook, takes literaly 1 screw to change and they provided tools in the box. 3- Yes its noisy, No point to add padding for noise reduction, on race helmet. 4- No vibration when I do headcheck. 5- Its true , not the best air vent design.
I have this helmet, I love it and I just bought another one. I find no issues with the rear spoiler and noise and I even cracked mine a little near one of the mounting screws & mine doesn't vibrate. I think you got a bad visor lock with yours cause I have never had an issue with mine, not yet anyways and I've owned the one for 2 full seasons. The lost plugs sounds like a personal problem lol just gotta keep better track of them. Yes the helmet is noisy but I personally always ride with ear plugs and wind noise is part of the game. The visor only having 2 positions is meh.. it would be nice if it would stay up at higher speeds, for sure.. but it is a racing helmet
If you grab a pair of airpods pro or any other noise canceling headphones you will be in heaven. I ride with the airpods pro at medium volume and I have no complaints
@@Motogents i need your opinion on this what i write now so I have never driven motorcycle but I’m planing and i will get myself mt 07 with sc project and i want this helmet is this maybe too much for starter
I have daily driven this helmet for a couple of years now,and it is awsome lid extremely light,extremely aerodynamic,amazing ventilation. But thing is it is not the best helmet for every day use,it is very very loud so some kind of hear protection is a must,the visor don't have clicks and air vents plugs are detachable so you will lose them pretty fast. In conclusion it is amazing helmet,and yes you can use it everyday but in the end this is track lid it is not made to be daily commuter.
You bought the wrong helmet for the wrong purpose. I bought K6 which is basically the same helmet, but made for road riding. What is the purpose of this video to bash the helmet or just to complain that you didn't buy the right helmet?
The purpose of the video is not to bash anything ,it is just to give a little heads up for people like me for buying this lid for road or touring use like i did. I buy the right helmet for wrong use,but now i use pista only for trackdays and i am happy man .👊🏼👍🏼
I agree on everything except the spoiler part and the visor lock , my spoiler doesnt vibrate or make noise and my lovking / release works perfect since 1/5 years
Razmisljm da kupim pistu i hajde da pogledam sta ljudi kazu o njoj i naletim na tvoj video i dok gledam govorim zeni,ovaj naglasak zvuci bas poznato kao da je covijek sa nasih prostora i reko da provijerim kad ono brat Srbin.Veliki pozdrav nastavi sa video klipovima,znam da nije lako tamo kod nas da se postane poznat i da se zaradi neka para od YouTub-a ali nikad se ne zna👍.
If I have to be honest I firmly disagree. I have 7 helmets of which 3 are racing, one is the pista gp rr and I can tell you, as “pure racing” helmet it’s the best one straight out of the box. It is the only commercially available helmet that is purely designed for racing. Yes the visor is meant to stay closed only. Yes it’s noisy af. Yes there are no venting switches. But pista is not meant to be a quiet helmet, with user friendly features and user friendly visor mechanism. It is meant to be a racing helmet, designed to be stable at high speed, with less yawning, lifting and dragging possible. It’s designed for ventilation in full tuck position and to be worn with plugs all the time. It is designed to have the less weight possible still retaining structural resistance. The rear spoiler is designed in a way that in case of crash it will break easily and detach from the helmet, to prevent helmet from catching into objects risking neck injuries. Everything is designed to work in the racing environment and it does his job excellently. Don’t be like those guy that bought a racing motorcycle and was complaining for the absence of heated grips. Buy with awareness to avoid further regrets and complaining.
1- wrong, theres three, fully opened, almost closed, sealed. 2-have a corsa and a pista, never had a problem apart from when i bropped it, changed the visor and it was fine. 3-never really noticed, i alternated between agv pista or hjc rpha11. 4-never had a problem with turning my head. not once. high speeds or low. 5-buy a corsa and you will get plastic plugs in the helmet.
i think locking mechanism is just on yours, mine has no problems , also with the rattling in the rear spolier rattling mine doesnt do that either, i agree its noisy but i dont have the issues you have
Yeap, my friend also have pista and his visor work just fine, but the spoiler problem is even worse on his lid but I think the rattle depends on the kind of bike and how you doing shoulder checks.
This helmet is meant only for racetrack use, like it's literally in the name. I would not recommend it for the road. I want it for myself to be my race helmet, I got a Shoei NXR for road .
I have a couple of AGVs and this is the 6th same as yours on R6 i am wearing. - mine has none issue at all. well I guess the front locking system probably ever been forced on closingor openning the lid. well it's mechanism afterall. understand how you feel spending much this helmet. but just for sharing, so far I have been comfortable on AGV even this model of yours.
its a race helmet.....thats all it was ever meant to be........people use commodities outside their intended use isnt the commodities fault, lol......buy a touring helmet
Sexy looking helmet yes. Expensive definitely but this was made for track/racing use. I have the AGV K1 helmet shoot I have 3 of them and they are by far the best helmets I have owned. I have the k1 warmup model which is a red an black matte color. And I even have the solid white and solid black AGV k1 helmet. I’ve had the icon airflite helmet and even the Ruroc and the AGV is by far the most quietest one and most comfortable to use and wear...
That is righy mate,i have also owned K1 and K3 if i remember correctly it was long time ago and they were amazing helmets. Agv truly makes some awsome lids.
GSXR Frank, I'm confused which helmet to go for either the AGV Pista GP R/ Ruroc Atlas 3.0... Since agv pista gp is expensive and used for the track, which other agv helmet is better for road?? I wanted to own an agv glossy carbon helmet. Loved the AGV pista GP glossy carbon. It was one of my dream helmets to own, but saw many people suggesting that it's not good for the road, due to wind noise, but it's really good for that track. Do all their helmets function the same way related to wind noise? Could you provide a detailed explanation comparing the AGV with the Ruroc Atlas 3.0 helmet? Or the one which you have?? And if not AGV pista GP, which other AGV helmet is good (which is not track oriented, would love to own a carbon fiber helmet). Sorry for the long text though! I'm just confused!!
Yeap man,that was the point of my whole video but some people get me wrong like i am hating on the lid. Amazing for trackdays and not so much on the street.👊🏼✊🏼
Thank you for the honest review. I am looking for a new helmet after i used up my Schubert helmet going offroad on the yellow lady in the picture. She is now rebuilt and ''almost'' ready for the road.
Because I am stupid and I really wanted this helmet, I am a big MotoGP fan and a big fan of Valentino, and I am pretty sure I am not the only one. Don't get me wrong I love this helmet for the track it's absolutely perfect.
@@Motogents I'm the same as you, but I haven't purchased the helmet as of now 😂 I really love this helmet, wanted to purchase it as my next helmet... But now by seeing the reviews, I'm thinking which one to go for. Which other AGV helmet is good for daily touring and road use??? Also I need a carbon fiber helmet, just love that design on the AGV. Although it was my dream to own an AGV pista, now I'm feeling like not owning one since I'm not planning to take my bike on the track!
@@Motogents Thanks for the review. I do agree that it's a track only helmet, but as you said there are many people who love motoGP, Valentino Rossi and this freaking helmet to own!!! You just saved me at the right time 😊
What?? Seriously 😂. You review a carbon fibre helmet and expect the noise to be less?? It’s a racing spec helmet. They know it’s a loud helmet and that’s why they have provided you the ear plugs. I think it only your helmet that has a problem. 😂
Yea man i know now ,but i did not know years ago when i bought it,and yes you are completely right it's a race helmet. Point of this video is not to complain i love this helmet i have bought another one. I just wanted to share that this is amazing race and trackday helmet,and not so good street helmet nothing wrong there right ?
Agv has vent plugs that come with this helmet you do not need to tape the vents shut. This review sucks nobody should listen to this guy cuz he has no idea what he's talking about with this helmet. The helmet is loud because it's so well ventilated. The vents can be plugged with factory plugs from agv. The helmet also sounds like it's vibrating when you turn your head at high speed because the air is not flowing through the helmet properly and it's causing that sound. This helmet is designed for the full tuck riding position. Your review makes no sense and you are basically telling people not to get a great helmet. Also your visor is meant to be down when you're going anything over 25 so it's a good visor design if you want to ride around like an idiot with your visor up you might as well just take it off. 🤣😂
If you pay attention a little more ,you will see that i love this helmet since making this video i have bought another one, the point of this video is that this helmet is made for track ,for racing,and i have pointed flaws if you want to wear this helmet on the road. Again this is one of the best helmet ever made for racing not for street. Yes you get 2 pair of plugs for vents but because they are not attached for helemt i have lost them after one day. The vibration comes from rear spoiler because after time little crack shows up on the middle screw causing spoiler to vibrate like crazy. One of the best helmet ever made for racing. Airflow,aerodynamic,quality is best in the game . Don't be a fanboy man.
i agree on it shuts down automatically. the lock sometimes stuck. hard to reach with gloves. but when i tried it the spoiler has no rattle (maybe its because a GP-R) and i had very quiet ride. the pads are also very very nice its cooling the cheeks on a 36c real feel
Yeah mate i agree,but most of people buy this lid for the street. I just wanted to give my opinion if you want this helmet for everyday use. For me pista is now dedicated track helmet.
Mate i just wanted to give heads up with some experience i have with Pista,this is not a rant against AGV , it is amazing lid for the track and i love it ,but it is not so great helemet for road use that was thw point of this video.
Yeap i got you man,and yes you are 💯 percent right this is race helmet,but trust me 90% of pista sold are on the streets. Like i said in the video if you want this helmet for trackday there is nothing better but for street not so much and that was the point of this vid.
This isn't a real Pista GP R. It's a cheap knock off. Best thing about this video is, that the "Pista GP R" you're showing, is a "Corsa R". Where did you buy it from? Wish? I myself own a Corsa R and a 2020 Pista GP RR. This video is cheap bs. Sorry man.
Bl4rc This is Agv Pista bought from official diler in my country,for almost 20 years of my riding i have never bought knock off gear,especially not helmet.
@@lynxeffect84 Most of the line is for the street with comfy interiors and venting designed for a wide range of weather. The Pista series though is a track lid with rubber plugs that you cant just flick open or closed much less have any adjustments. And of coarse they are noisy for short term track use.
You are right about that man,my Pista is now dedicated track helmet and for that use it's best lid in ghe world 👊🏼 That was the point of video great helmet just not for the street.
Wind noise is a not a good criteria, this is a racing helmet made for people that wear earplugs. The other points are quite interesting but because I'm a moron, my main criteria is the shape of the helmet. ;)
Need to fully understand this is not a street helmet by any means at all, so wind noise is not great, everything about this helmet is perfection on track/Racing, you want a good AGV for the street go for the GP-R/K6/K3
@@Motogents it is, the Pista Single R is a great track focused Street helmet, that’s what it was made for, the Double R is the exact helmet used in Moto GP
@Motogents Well I don't track, just street🤣🤣🤣... however, I noticed you said it was extremely noisy ? I currently use an Arai Quantum X, and I find that to be the quietest so far.
Racing doesn't need indents/stops on visor . Just like the race r pro for example. Earplugs are standard practice. And so on...pista is THE most track dedicated helmet. Of course it sucks on the street, it wasn't made for it
You said it already. It’s for the track. Pista GPrr is a better version. But it’s still not for touring or daily... buy a different type of of helmet for road use. Pista is not for road use. Shoei gt air 2 is a better road use helmet
1: during the race the visior need to be always closed. When you stop, you can open it. 2: you must learn how to operate this mechanism 3: it's a racing helmet! Muting is a very secondary issue. 4: there is no time to look back while racing. The spoiler is profiled to keep the helmet stabilized at 200 km/h 5: do I really need to explain this to you? ... it is a helmet that is not for the street use. if you bought it to drive on the street you are just stupid!
Everything you said is on point,and yeah i was stupid when i bought this helmet for everday riding. I just wanted to help others who want to buy this lid for the street. My pista is now track only lid and there is no better helmet for that 👊🏼
Yeap well kinda , you can try adjusting visor mechnisam on both sides,in my case the only time that visor work like it should is when i lube the ruber gasket on the helmet.
I too own this helmet - I agree with the clasp sticking and the no indent to keep it partially open - other than those to annoyances i like it very much - mine is extremely quiet - the fit is definitely a race fit which means its a tight fit going on and equally tight when removing it - also I find that the profile of it is smaller than other AGV helmets I own - I am a perfect AGV Small but this helmet is definitely a race fit - I like it but use it only day rides as it would bother me if I were on a three or four day trip - I've found the best all around AGV helmet is the new K 5 SV ingegrated sun visor, plush lining vs the original K5 and and excellent fit - for the price its excellent
just modify ur helmet got my hjc rpha lighten more than the original weight modify vents even the liner dont rely on what your helmet do if you dont like the way it should be.. buy another one
having the Shell shatter on impact and their “ patent visor lock “ brake off . I really questioning AGV “Extreme standards helmets”. I’m lucky to be alive, but now have to deal with cognitive memory issues. Seriously look into Aria if you care about your safety
Hahahahaha!!! Thanks for making this video with relating to ur 3rd point , i too have pista gp-r and installed sena 10c pro and it only picked wind noise in video and i removed and checked the mic more than 5 times and even complained to sena for wind noise ,later got to know that it's helmet fault as its way too loud and is not at all a touring helmet😐 Finally ordered shoei gt air 2 , lets hope this one would b little quieter 😌
You are welcome,glad you like it. Yeah Pista is pretty bad in wind noise department definitely not a touring helmet. I have tried gt air 2 and when it comes to wind noise shoei is on another level. But on the other hand plastic bucket is more quiet than the pista.
@@Motogents 🤣🤣🤣 in india pista gp r costs around 1500 $ and still need to buy another one because noise isolation is zero and cant wear them for touring. Is that a joke #AGV ?
It's not a problem in AGV, the problem is in us the buyers. Pista is a dedicated track helmet,track is the place where this helmet really shines,and we want including me to do touring in it. So when agv design this helmet they did not pay attention to the wind noise and in ther defense they include in package pair of ear plugs 😀 To do touring in Pista is like to buy Panigale V4 to do cross contry rides,it can be done but it won't be very pleasing. But i understand you 💯 percent, i have buy another helmet for the street same is you,Pista is now track only lid.
@@ANAVIDTRAVELER Hey, even I'm from India... I'm asking few riders who own the AGV pista GP R, as it makes sense since they know a lot on it. I'm confused which helmet to go for either the AGV Pista GP R/ Ruroc Atlas 3.0/ any other good helmet.... Since agv Pista GP is expensive and used for the track only, which other agv helmet is better for road ?? I wanted to own an agv pista GP glossy carbon helmet. It's one of my dream helmets to own 😄 But in the comment section most of them are like it's since it's a racing helmet, wind noise would definitely be there... So go for another one. Do all their helmets function the same way related to wind noise? And which other AGV model would you recommend? I love to own a pretty good helmet by AGV, love the AGV glossy carbon, but don't know which other model provides it. The Pista GP looks freaking good ❤️ But due to wind noise I might step down on another one since I won't be taking it for track use. And you off course know how our Indian parents are 😂
nice video tho, i really like it. I justed wanted to point out that i do have some answers for u 1. The visor lock mechanism is that way because the pista gp is meant to be wear on track as it's a racing helmet. 2. the noise, well yeah like u say for racing 3. i do agree that the vent pads is a stupid idea from AGV tho, i have the agv Veloce and the oppen and close thing is way better. But yeah i do have a pista GP R but i painly use it on the track and on the road i have my veloce S, it has no spoiler tho.
Tnx man that means a lot, I am glad you like it. That was kinda the point of video, Pista is the best helmet on the world if you use it for what is designed and that is race and track use, for everything else you should get another helmet. Veloce I great choice for the street,i will probably get one for this season.
Motogentlemens hey bro actually i too want to buy this helmet nd i want it for daily commute , nd I’ve a harley roadster ( cafe racer style ) , so jst wanna know is it good for daily ride
@@Official.Kstoor I use my Pista in every scenario track day, touring across Europe, daily commute and yes it can be done. Just have on mind that is a very noisy helmet, and airflow vents are a pain in the ass because it is just rubber plugs and I will lose it very fast. But on the plus side, it is a very light helmet with a tone of airflow if you live somewhere hot that is important. So for daily commute I think it would be a good option, just don't do touring across the country and you are golden. I hope I help you a little bit.
