The AGV K1 S excels as a versatile full-face helmet for daily commuting, sport touring, and spirited road riding. Its aerodynamic shell and Aero Spoiler work in tandem to minimize buffeting and lift, ensuring a stable ride even at higher speeds. This stability contributes significantly to rider comfort and reduces fatigue on longer journeys.
The Ultravision panoramic visor is a standout feature, providing an uncommonly wide 190° horizontal field of vision. This enhanced peripheral awareness allows riders to quickly identify potential hazards, check blind spots more effectively, and generally feel more connected to their environment. The Pinlock-ready feature is crucial for maintaining clear vision in varying weather conditions, preventing fogging.
Comfort is further enhanced by the Dry-Comfort interior. Riders will appreciate the soft feel and the ability to easily remove and wash the liners, which is vital for maintaining hygiene and freshness after extensive use or during warmer weather. The MotoGP-derived ventilation system efficiently channels air through the helmet, preventing heat build-up and keeping the rider cool, which is especially beneficial during city riding or on warm days.
In terms of safety, the AGV K1 S meets the ECE22.06 standard, offering robust protection. The Double D retention system provides a secure and infinitely adjustable fit, crucial for keeping the helmet in place during an impact. Its readiness for communication systems allows riders to integrate their preferred devices without compromising the helmet's integrity or comfort, making it a practical choice for connected riders.
Fitting: Ensure you select the correct helmet size for a snug, yet comfortable fit. The helmet should not move freely when you shake your head.
Visor Installation/Removal: The visor features an Extra Quick Release system. Consult the included manual for specific instructions on how to remove and re-install the visor for cleaning or replacement. Always ensure it's securely latched before riding.
Communication System: If installing a communication system, utilize the designated cutouts or spaces within the helmet. Follow the communication system manufacturer's instructions for integration. The helmet is designed to accommodate various universal systems.
Pinlock Insertion: If using a Pinlock anti-fog insert (sold separately), carefully align and press it onto the visor's pins. Ensure a tight seal around the edges for optimal anti-fog performance.
Pinlock Inserts: The visor is specifically designed to be Pinlock-ready.
Communication Systems: Prepared for the installation of generic and brand-specific communication devices. Check compatibility with your chosen system.
Goggles/Eyewear: The helmet's design typically accommodates most prescription glasses or sunglasses, though individual fit may vary.
Interior Cleaning: The Dry-Comfort interior liners are removable and washable. Gently detach the cheek pads and crown liner. Hand wash them with mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry completely before re-inserting.
Visor Cleaning: Clean the visor with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized helmet visor cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. For deep cleaning, remove the visor. If a Pinlock is installed, remove it before cleaning the main visor.
Shell Cleaning: Wipe the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or petroleum-based products as they can damage the helmet's finish or material.
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 when not in use.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the shell, worn retention straps, or a loose visor mechanism. If damage is found, replace the helmet immediately as its protective integrity may be compromised.
