AGV K5 Helmet Review at RevZilla.com 

Jajaja, me too, 1 month using it, and just now i realize how it works LOL, thanks Revzilla!

+JustplainZero I agree, I just got back tonight from traveling a round trip across Canada and the guard pretty much only got in the way of me shoving quick food in my face when I didn't want to take the helmet off at a fuel stop. Plus side to that though is sometimes my helmet still smelled like chocolate a bit after a protein bar. This helmet has great venting but a pin lock is still something I wanted. One thing they really nailed for me is the ear space and how well my Cardo Packtalk (same one as the guy in the video is using) speakers fit inside without pressing uncomfortably on my ears. I would say the only thing that kind of annoyed me is the final detent. I found myself wishing for a smaller gap. The gap is to large and the feature to crack the visor from the front is too small of a gap. Something in-between would have worked perfectly for when you are in heavy rain moving slowly. Note: My experience may be different then others since I did my tour on a Triumph Street Triple Rx.. a naked sport bike with essentially zero wind protection.

+JustplainZero How is wind noise with this helmet? Even with ear plugs my current (and slightly old) HJC is unbearable over distance when doing 50+mph so I'm very interested in how this AGV fares! Cheers :)

Terrible wind noise. I bought swimming plugs and I still have quite a bit of noise.

+JustplainZero Hi! I noticed from the videos that K5 has a tiny gap right above the visor removal mechanism. How does it hold in the rain? Does the water seep in?

Ive used mine all through Winter. I've not had an issue, it seals pretty well, however its nose guard is terrible, this helmet is not as good in colder weather as it fogs up. The opposite is true for warm weather, its airflow is superior to my old Shark

+Gino Engel Both are great choices for your bike and riding style, and both use a strong and light composite construction. Therefore, I might recommend you decide based on fit. The K5 is an intermediate oval (though a little egg-shaped: slightly wider behind the ears, slightly narrower at the temples), whereas the RPHA ST is intermediate to slightly round oval. -DrewZilla

DrewZilla, thanks for the info and keep up the good work ☺👍

That's a question for AGV, not us. AGV is only carrying the red version in the UK and perhaps Europe. In the US, we only get the yellow version. We aren't the importer, so we only can carry what AGV decides to import. -DrewZilla

Got it, thanks for responding! really appreciate it.

+Darren O'Hare Most other AGV helmets are aggressive/angular as well as the Bell RS-1 an Speed and Strength SS1600. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-helmets *www.revzilla.com/bell-rs-1-helmets *www.revzilla.com/speed-strength-helmets

If you aren't so bothered by the slight weight difference, I recommend you decide based on whether you want an internal sun visor or not. The K5 is a bit heavier due to the shell and the sun visor, but many also find it convenient. -DrewZilla

Thank you for the quick reply.I was leaning more towards K5. The visor is something I'd want since the weather around here can change quickly. A bit embarrassing that I haven't found your channel until now, but I plan on getting up to speed with everything from reviews to guides. Thanks again

+bludika i love my k5, but switching out visors is a nightmare

You should wear earplugs at those speeds anyway mate.

agree with nick. earplugs are a must on any road bike. god knows how i used to ride without them anyway.

Basically, yes, I'd save the money and go with the K3 SV. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-k3-sv-helmet

Thanks again Drew!!

+MorryMoto If you want an internal sun visor, get the K5. If you don't want a sun visor, go for the GT Veloce. -DrewZilla

RevZilla lol I like you Drew.....you straight to the point lol :) thanks for the advise :)

Yes, if you fit the RPHA 70 in S, then you could likely fit this K5 in size S. -DrewZilla

The versions sold here in the US aren't officially ECE-rated, as it's not a legal requirement here. However, they're still built to the same level to surpass the ECE testing just like the versions sold in Europe. -DrewZilla

+J CMM Yes, the GT Veloce will give you a bit taller vision, and it should also give you a bit more room at the back of the neck, so it shouldn't interfere with your jacket as much. -DrewZilla

+Munteanu Cristian If you ride in more of a 3/4 to full tuck riding position, I'd go for the K5. If you have a more upright riding position, go for the RPHA ST. Otherwise, it comes down to whichever fits better. -DrewZilla

Unfortunately, no. The inner sun shield is offered in 7 colors/tints, but clear is not one of them. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/agv-isv-inner-sun-shield

RevZilla That's fine. I'll just get the lightest smoke they have and have some clear safety glasses in my bag haha

Honestly, either would be fine. If you want the convenience of the internal sun visor, I'd go for the K5. If that doesn't matter to you, then the GT Veloce would be good. -DrewZilla

+WyZedEf R6 Honestly, you just have to be careful to align it properly before pushing the clip/snap into place. It can take some finesse. -DrewZilla

thanks for the response, I will continue to try. It's been a few days now and still no luck.

Yes, both the Shoei Qwest and AGV K5 are suitable for a Night Rod. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-k5s-helmets

+Sebastian Fabritz Sanchez The Nexx XR2 Carbon Zero is the lightest full-face helmet we have currently. In size medium, it's 2 lbs. 12 oz. (1250g). The slightly less-expensive XR2 Carbon (non-Zero) is 2 lbs. 14 oz. (1300g) in size medium, and the composite XR2 is 3 lbs. (1350g). The AGV K5 is 1400-1450g. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nexx-xr2-carbon-zero-helmet *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nexx-xr2-carbon-helmet *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nexx-xr2-helmet-solid *www.revzilla.com/agv-k5-helmets

+RevZilla Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it

Mainly, the K3 SV has a more affordable thermoplastic resin shell construction, while the K5 has a lighter but more expensive carbon-fiberglass composite shell construction. The rear spoiler is also more pronounced on the K5. Otherwise, they have a similar fit, and both work well in most riding positions. If you can afford the lighter K5, go for it. Otherwise, the K3 SV is still a great option. -DrewZilla

+RevZilla I ended up choosing AGV K3 SV, not too heavy, very spacious to look right and left and top, very comfortable.. thanks Drew :D

VALOR | Community there are orange tab looking things just before the edge of the helmet which you have to use a lot of pressure to clip back in

Start at the back and force the living shit out of it back into the helmet, once the first ones in the rest are easy

It's been 2 weeks you've probably done it haha

+Groagun depends on what style riding you are doing

+franzb69 See from 2:30

+sooriyah007 too bad then. I'm an oval head.

already bought a k3 sv which is an oval head design so i'm all good.

+franzb69 As mentioned, it's intermediate oval in shape. What helmet fits you well? -DrewZilla

+RevZilla oval head shape helmets

+Rick Anderson you head can't be bigger than XXL (i think some helmets should have that)

+Rick Anderson Do you know your head circumference measurement around the crown of your head? -DrewZilla

honesly i'm not sure. I just have a big head. I went to try on helmets before and most of them wouldn't even fit around the crown. and that's trying L and XL if I remember right

+Rick Anderson You can use a cloth tape measure to find out if you want. -DrewZilla

I just completed a motorcycle course to get my license and while riding I had on a large. But even that was a little tight in the forehead but the xl was to big

+Gino Engel Psshh! Well now I take back my answer to you haha!! :P -DrewZilla

+RevZilla Hahahaha no hard feelings 😂
