AGV Sportmodular Carbon Helmet Review

For riders who want the functionality of a modular helmet, but don’t want to sacrifice the light, sporty look of a more aggressive lid, the AGV Sportmodular Carbon Helmet stands firmly at the intersection between the two. Constructed with a 100% Carbon Fiber shell, the Sportmodular makes use of the very best in modern motorcycle helmet material technology. Additional features include both DOT and ECE certification, an eyeglass-friendly design, pressure-free interior fitment, and a Pinlock insert included.

Bought this helmet 1 month ago after reviewing Schubert C3 pro/C4, HJV 90 and Neotec 2. I’ve tried all of them.
Don’t like the Schubert’s especially their design but that’s very personal. HJV the issue was that the L had pressure points and XL was just too big.
I have a rf1200 so I was going for the Neotec 2 but after reading the AGV reviews I considered the last one. Design wise definitely nicer.
Quality wise well not at the same leve as Shoei. The shell is great but the inside plastics pretty cheap and not well assembled. It takes 10 annoying mins to remove the chin pad pulling it strongly and worrying it will brake.
Now the AGV after a couple of weeks and around 600km is a very comfortable helmet. It is amazingly light (disturbing at first as you wonder if you have locked it properly) and stable at high speed (200km/h). I have a SuperDuke R so no protection whatsoever.
To conclude: not the perfect helmet but I would buy it again. You just need to know the pro and con when you make your choice.
Ahhh and and forgot about the strap. Uncomfortable the first 2 weeks but now no problem anymore

One would be forgiven for mistaking it for a full face helmet! Did not realise it was modular until he opened the face in the best helmets for 2018 video!

Love the GE SUPER TUNNER radio on the bench. I had its predecessor in the early 80's. My best friend still has his and he uses it everyday. I'll get in touch with you guy soon.

Exactly what I'm looking for, a helmet manufactured by reputable brand, compact looking, lightweight 🔥🔥🔥

I have that helmet... Love it! And that is the breeziest helmet i've ever had. And the lightness <3

Sounds like you started to create a new word, “spocket” for the speaker pocket. Go with it.

Sold the helmet after 2 months.
The helmet liner keep coming off when removing the helmet from my head.
Overall built quality is way behind Shoei and Arai

I just got mine today and it was $599 on sale. I did not want a ratchet strap and that booted the Neotec II (sad because I like my current Neotec). I tried the Schuberth C4 and it did not fit well, even in XL (Neotec was L, AGV is an XL). Plus, I had forgotten about the ratchet strap! It will sit right on top of my Adam’s apple! So fugeettboutit

Was gonna buy this, has what I wanted, light and flip-up.

Also fits like a glove.

But why AGV, why, if the helmet fits me perfectly does the drop down visor hit me on the nose?

The store assistant that helped me looking for the right size, told me that I am not the only person with the same complaint.
Pity then

Question, i have allready the cardo packtalk, i will need the boom microphone for this helmet, is there enough room in the front because some helmets are very narrow in front, please let me know, you are doing a good job and you've also reached the Netherlands bigtime with your reviews. Thumbs up!!

Spend a big amount of money and have purchased Shuberth SR 2 in UK amazing helmet very light, I see this helmet now and I am angry I wasn't aware agv made this helmet

Another advantage of modular helmets is facial piercings not getting stuck.

[fafo-faroundandfindout]

Is there a darker inner sun visor? If so which one is it?

[adamfinuf]

Bought this helmet couple months ago it was way Lowder than I am use to. But this is my first modular. my main problem is how much it pulls on my neck at higher speeds and long rides so much so I don't even want to wear it my 250 dollar bell qualifier has way less drag bottom line my neck is killing me after even a 50 mile ride

[ryanr]

Can I ask a question please. I’m looking for a modular helmet I’m thinking either this one or a Shoie. What would say is my best choice

[simonsutherland]

What's 3k carbon?...First time commenting so let me take a sec to say: Anthony, really appreciate your videos. Been watching for about 5 y now, and appreciate your practical, through & clear break down of moto gear.... So, the question: What is 3k Carbon? Is that different that other carbon fiber products? Is 3k essentially a thread count? Do others carbon products generally use less dense carbon? is there a range? Is this 5% better than average? 50%? Sure i can google it, and probably will but if you're going to take the time to explain basics like what a modular helmet is, and your going to call out 3k multiple times, it's worth at least a brief explanation. Thanks, keep up the good work.

AGV helmets in the past have squashed my ears..very painful. How much ear room is there? Current Helmet is Schuberth C3 Pro is this a good upgrade?

[markkennedy]

I bought this helmet from revzilla 5 years ago. Have only used it a few times and the cheek pad material is falling apart. $850 wasted.

[badandylaoc]

kinda glazed over the "adhesived-in" speaker port that needs to be re-glued back in. Afterthought maybe?
