AGV K6 Helmet | Awesome but ONE Design Issue

This is my new AGV K6 Helmet with a carbon aramid shell. This is a premium helmet known for its lightweight and quietness but there’s a bad design aspect that I am disappointed about it. Awesome but ONE Design Issue that needs to be highlighted. The AGV K6 visor removal and its shield locking mechanism can easily damage the helmet paint or shell when you close the shield (if the silver latch isn’t pulled all the way in). This became an issue when I was trying to install an iridium blue shield or visor (or iridium smoke) as I damaged the helmet even before removing the tags. The ‪@agvhelmets2956‬ or @DaineseOfficial engineering should revisit this design as it may affect their customers satisfaction and loyalty. I am a hardcore @avghelmets customer I have to confess that I am totally bummed down. Despite the visor issue I still believe this is one of the best motorcycle helmet of 2022. The goal is to alert others with this best lightweight motorcycle helmet who may be willing to install an iridium blue and overcome this one design issue. I wish this AGV K6 Helmet shield mechanism was like the ‪@BellHelmetsOfficial‬ or the ‪@ScorpionNation‬ .

@SaskRiderMoto 2 года назад

I agree with you on the darker visors. I have the grey K6 with the blue visor. I struggle every time I take the visor off and on. This is my ver first helmet and I noticed that the padding wears quickly too. I am at the point of either replacing the padding or getting a different helmet and I have had it for a year now. I do not over wash the padding. I have hand washed them only 2 times and still they are good for a week then go back to the way they were prior to being washed. Disappointed in the padding. I am new to riding and maybe I have the wrong thoughts of how they should wear in? Don't know. Just what I have noticed while owning the helmet. Great video.

@summerdream2366 2 года назад

Wow that’s an interesting feedback too!(about the padding)

@SaskRiderMoto 2 года назад

@@summerdream2366 Again it might be me just being a new rider and not knowing any better, But I do not have the tight fit I use to have the first month I owned it in 2021. I understand padding breaks in and that is fine, but this is acting like it wore out. I had a Staff member at the store work with me for 1.5 hours trying to find a helmet that would be best for me and this is the one we settled on. When I move my jaw side to side I feel hard pressure, not padding pressure. Maybe I am just to oily/sweat a lot, not sure but I ordered a new helmet and should be getting it this week. Once I get it and I ride with it a bit, I will be making a compare video of it to the K6. I do not want to say the helmet right now until I get it and give it a try and hope I didn't make a mistake haha.

@WindyTherapy 2 года назад

I am glad I am not alone as far as struggling to install the blue visor. 😂 Great to know about the padding ! To tell you the truth, I never wash them but instead every year (after the season is over) I put the pads into the dryer (with the steam cycle or a wet towel to provide some moisture) with some Downie sheets and it seems to work well. 🙏

Very nice overview of the K6. The shield design sounds like a big problem. I use the HJC RPHA 90 which is a modular. I've never tried a full face but I'm sure they are a bit quieter than the modular. The blue shield looks very cool. Thanks for sharing your perspectives. Ride safe. 👍👊

@YouMotorcycle 2 года назад

Good video but not a fan of buying a helmet online. Fit and shape is so so important to comfort and safety, especially on long trips and on high speeds. I buy a ton of stuff from Fortnine for my customers, but I would never get a lid from them or any other site. It's good to support to your local shop on these things, otherwise they'll stop bothering to carry a vast number of options, and we lose out more than anyone else does.

@WindyTherapy 2 года назад

Indeed ! My first option was to buy local but all 4 local shops didn’t have the white and they told me AGV doesn’t even tell them when the next batch will arrive. (One told me that they just received their 2021 order few days ago) Apparently AGV is selling the K6 like hot cakes

@WindyTherapy 2 года назад

Thanks RJ ! As I said, the Arai is amazing as you can’t even feel you have something on your head (hard to describe) but it was an extra USD 250 but the AVG K6 is excellent premium and plush helmet for sub 500. (The blue shield / visor is great but it was a bit pricey … about 160) Thanks again. Eddie

@mckricks1 Год назад

@@WindyTherapy I have an Arai. It feels good around the top of the head but cheek pads are too thin. I like the Shoei RF-1400. More tight around the head but should break in a bit. And the cheek pads are way better. I've learned that initial comfort on a helmet is not necessarily a good thing.

@WindyTherapy Год назад

@@mckricks1 Absolutely ! You can never go wrong with Shoei or Arai. (I am not sure which Arai model you have but I tried one before buying the AGV and it was the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever tried. It felt like a glove ! Perfect all the way around so I couldn’t even feel it. I didn’t buy it because they didn’t have a white one in stock nor a blue iridium shield) Thanks 🙏🏻 buddy

@mckricks1 Год назад

@@WindyTherapy I tried the Corsair-X since it was an intermediate oval. Tried the AGV K6 and yeah it was extremely comfortable. I intially liked the 2 different locking mechanisms it had so it can lock in a cracked open position. But when I put it on it proved to be finicky to open because of that but maybe it just takes getting used to. So if I get the Shoei I hope that the top head area breaks in for me a little more since it is tighter than the others. I don't like that it might not stay cracked open at higher speeds but maybe the good venting will make up for that. If you haven't tried the RF-1400 it would be good to see your thoughts on it. The biggest thing that I like about Arai are the graphics. Hands down amazing options. Might get the matte Shoei since that is what is readily available I just don't like that it will be harder to keep clean. Still going to try a few different helmets just to be sure!

I'm with you and decided to get a brighter looking helmet for safety as mine is black, plus my helmet is getting old and worn out. I know I will not be buying a Bell. There are many great options out there today. Bell used to be the "go to" helmet back in the 70's, but not so today.

@kirkdunn1379 Год назад

Airflow is directly related to overall quietness......you can have 1 or the other but not both.......I have an HJC RPHA that flows tons of air.....its a summer helmet, the AGV would be winter where I done need air but being quiet is nice The shield latch doesn't bother me as I don't change them often anyway and pretty mechanically inclined so am sure once you get used to it it's fine..... Love the styling of AGV

@WindyTherapy Год назад

Indeed ! It is hard to get air flow and quietness at the same time but the vents don’t bother me as I always ride with the visor partially open. But yes, it is a beautiful helmet. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Eddie

@101BadBreath 2 месяца назад

I have a K5S which I love, its so light and the scuplted chin seems to deflect wind really well along with a strong neck roll pad so its super quiet..for me only the Shoei Rf-1400 and Scorpion R1 Air come close (own those as well). I am thinking about getting this more toruing oriented K6S tor my partner who is a more casual rider but we do some touring together as well (we just compete coast to coast USA trip along the I40 with Shark Evo ES flip chin helmets with Sena Comms fitted which did the job well but are a bit noisy). Anyhow, thanks for the review it helped clarify a couple things for me. Even with the screen connection issue it seems like a great option.

@GatecrasherSlim Год назад

I just got this one and my issue is with the opening/closing the visor. I press the button and nothing happens. Is it supposed to do that? I can hold down the button and pull it up it, then it goes into the 'cracked position' (still locked in but a little open), then must do that AGAIN to actually open it. Thats VERY difficult to do with a) one hand and b) whilst wearing gloves (because there is no tab to push open with your finger). You made it look easy though mate?

The lowest visor possition on the K6 is blody awesome btw, much better than Shoei's. On the K6 the lower poss means juuuust right amount of airflow at city / country rode speeds.
