One thing to note, if you ride a naked bike and don’t have good wind protection, the helmet’s chin bar is too close to your face, and the nose piece is constantly being pushed against your nose at freeway speeds. That’s my only gripe with this helmet. Other than that, I love the way it looks and it’s by far the lightest helmet I’ve ever used.

Yep, same issue here. I bought a medium cause my head is 57cm, maybe even 57.5 but the large felt too big. This fits great, no neck fatigue at all on my gixxer 600 but at about 85-90mph, the tip of my nose just barely touches the front of the helmet. If I do a full tuck it doesn’t do it and under 85mph it doesn’t do it. The reason I bought it is because my neck always hurts after about 3 hours on the bike. Today road from 9:30 am to 4:30pm and about 250 miles, neck doesn’t hurt a bit. It is that light. But it is a touch noiser than others too due to that light weight shell. Overall a great helmet.

I sent this helmet (M) back today because of the closeness of the chinbar and nose piece. I wear glasses and they misted up even when breathing lightly. The pinlock won't help speccy bastards. Its a pity ,as the fit was great for me.

The K6s is absolutely phenomenal. It's my first lid so far and I've spent several hours trying on different helmets. I'm in the Large and it's broken in nicely with roughly 800miles on it so far. It's incredibly light weight. I've had neck injuries in my past and I can ride all day taking while taking little breaks here and there in this helmet. It's absolutely great. Vision is everything it claims to be. The only small issue is that with the face shield up you can see the visor lock in your vision but it's really a non-issue. At speeds the helmet lifts right up and is incredibly solid. It doesn't baffle back and forth or anything. The Pinlock 120 that came with mine is absolutely great. It doesn't fog up at all...ever...so far. I've been in torrential rain in mine and it was fine. I do wear sunglasses in mine. I made sure to buy 'thin' ear ends and it does work but might bother some. It completely solved my problem with sun brightness though. If AGV come out with a transition face shield then I'd be willing to try it out but I personally don't want to be carrying multiple lenses around or swiching them out. I personally love my K6s. I will say that I've recently learned about 6D helmets and I might give one of them a try as well. My only question I have is what is the best way to clean the removable liner. I've never cleaned one and mine is due for a cleaning.

I tend to ride with my face shield opened a little and this helmet does not have that sweet spot that Shoei's and Arai's have. It's either no air or too much air. I loved how light it was but that was a deal breaker for me so I returned it and got an Arai Contour X. Loving it even more after 1000 miles.

Is it possible to modify the helmet with thicker padding? Like shoei has? Cause im small in forehead and have a thin neck. My shoei x spirit 3 is causing superheavy turbulenece so ive now got permenent tinitus. Ive ordered a nxr2/rf1400 and hoping it will protect me from turbulence. However i see agv has had alot of focus on eliminating turbulence in its design. Sooooo, wich one to get? 😂

Thought the same thing, but those are just where the screws that hold the chin area's impact padding in place. Hit the road and play with the venting and you'll see, doesn't go directly to the face just like the last K6 model.

@RevZilla

Yes, AGV will have some replacement interiors in the US soon - so you can tweak the fitment as you wish. We haven't seen them just yet (we suspect AGV was more focused on getting the helmets here first), but they will be available in the near future.

Visiting a shop is the best way to determine, but keep in mind that all helmets break in about 10-15% so going down to the smaller is usually recommended. It'll be tight out of the box, but in 6 months it'll still fit. - Pat

@RevZilla
@RevZilla 10 месяцев назад
If you are looking for a sportier helmet (like the K6S) that is narrow from the outside view, the HJC RPHA 11 Pro or AGV K6 S would likely be your best options. They keep the overall profile down and not having an internal drop down sun visor helps achieve that look.

Doesn't tell us if any changes were made specifically to meet the new standards? All I see is a rear spoiler. And I like the current version in terms of aerodynamics so not bothered by a rear spoiler.
@RevZilla
@RevZilla 11 месяцев назад
According to AGV there were no changes needed for the new standard to be met, hence why we didn't mention any. Although, since they did tweak the spoiler's style, the updated the name to designate the new model for inventory / sales etc. Same thing across the rest of the AGV line like the K1 S, K3 (lost SV in the name), and past few Pista model's naming conventions. Just how AGV handles small updates / tweaks.

So sizing says an rf-1400 large is sized the exact same as this k6s large. That seem about right?
@RevZilla
@RevZilla Месяц назад
For physical measurement sizing, yes. AGV and Shoei each have unique headshapes that also have to be considered. Since each head is unique, some don't work in some helmets etc. But the physical measurement (CM / Inches) is about the same between the two (each 59-60cm's in Large)

@RevZilla
@RevZilla 6 месяцев назад
Well, you'd have issues since it is more of an Intermediate Oval fit. So you'd feel a ton of pressure at the forehead, and if you size up to alleviate that, you'd run into too-loose issues. It would definitely be worth a try-on at the very least though.

@RevZilla
@RevZilla 4 месяца назад
One thing to note, the port-hole at the base of the helmets can get slightly narrow or have a tougher shape to get passed (usually to meet retention requirements for safety certifications), you do sometimes have to open the base of the helmet by pulling on the DD-rings to get it over the head of your crown. The internal fitment between the K1 S and K3 are the same, so you might not need to swap brands as much as see if you can get passed the opening and test the real internal fit. We even. see it with professional as MotoGP / SX (etc) racers pull the helmet apart to get it to go on easier. Just something to note and try next time you pick up a new lid. Also - we hope you meant 25" in circumference and not diameter. If your head is 25" in diameter, you'd look like characters from Goldeneye on the N64.

@RevZilla 21 день назад
Spurgeon opens and closes the helmet with one hand numerous times in this video. At the 1:45 mark is a great example of just pressing the button and lifting. Might've been an issue with the specific helmet you had at your local store being damaged? Because it is not a common complaint about the K6 or the K6S that we've heard before, and the helmet has been out for over a year now.

If a ton of people wanted it, brands would be doing it. And if tons of people wanted it, the Shark Skwal would be the #1 seller. Definitely cool to have Shark doing it on the market and brands like Brakefree able to add it to any helmet, for those that do want it though I guess

Out of the box it should be tight without causing painful pressure points around the crown. Every helmet will break in about 10-15% within the first few weeks of riding so a tight fit first will break in to be very comfortable. -Pat
