The AGV K1 S helmet is engineered to deliver a balanced performance for various road riding scenarios, from daily commutes to spirited weekend rides.
Stability at Speed: Thanks to its aerodynamic shell and wind tunnel-designed Aero Spoiler, riders will experience noticeably improved stability, particularly when cruising at higher speeds or in a tucked position on sport bikes. This reduces buffeting and fatigue.
Unobstructed Vision: The Ultravision panoramic visor is a standout feature, providing an expansive field of view that enhances situational awareness. This is crucial for safety, allowing riders to easily scan traffic, road hazards, and blind spots.
Comfort on Long Rides: The soft, moisture-wicking Dry-Comfort interior ensures a comfortable fit, even during extended periods of wear. The ability to remove and wash the interior helps maintain freshness, especially important after sweaty rides.
Effective Ventilation: The racing-experience-developed front air vents provide efficient airflow, helping to keep the rider cool and reduce visor fogging during varying conditions.
Everyday Practicality: While inspired by racing, the K1 S remains a practical helmet for daily use. Its balance of safety, comfort, and aerodynamics makes it suitable for commuters, touring enthusiasts, and sport riders alike.
Sizing and Fit: Before first use, ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. It should not move freely on your head when buckled, and cheek pads should provide gentle pressure. Refer to AGV's sizing guide for initial selection.
Visor Installation/Removal: The Ultravision visor is designed for easy tool-less removal and installation. Consult the helmet's manual for specific instructions on swapping visors or for cleaning.
Communication System Integration: If installing a communication system, follow the specific instructions provided with your communication device. The K1 S is prepared with internal channels and recesses for speakers and microphones.
Communication Systems: The helmet is prepared for universal communication systems, meaning most major brands of helmet intercoms should be compatible with its internal speaker pockets and cable routing.
Riding Styles: Designed primarily for road and sport touring, suitable for various motorcycle types including naked bikes, sportbikes, and standard road bikes.
Shell Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the helmet's exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and materials. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Visor Cleaning: Clean the Ultravision visor with warm water and a microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a helmet-specific visor cleaner. Avoid dry wiping, which can cause scratches. Allow to air dry or gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
Interior Cleaning: The Dry-Comfort interior pads are fully removable and washable. Hand wash them gently in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
