5 Things To Know About The AGV K1 BEFORE You Buy It! | *Be Aware* | Owners Review

Hey guys--FINALLY got this video live! Had some issues getting it uploaded today but that's okay lol. The biggest thing I'd have to stress with ANY helmet is to think about your hearing. As always, do what YOU feel is best and enjoy your ride the way YOU want to ride. It definitely sucks losing hearing, so I've learned that I do want a helmet that can block more noise...any recommendations?

As for my fellow K1 owners: did you guys have any of these issues? What're some things you like or dislike about this helmet?

Got LOTS more gear reveals/reviews coming up soon as I get lots of questions about gear--so I'm excited to share!

Until next time! Cheers!

Hi, I'm Reese, and welcome to my channel, Reese Rides! I've been documenting my journey learning how to ride a motorcycle, starting on my '07 CBR600RR, and figuring out this whole motovlogging thing!! I passed my MSF course in March of 2020 and got my bike, Moro, fixed her up, and finally started riding in June 2020. It's been one hell of a ride so far, and I seriously thank all of you for the awesome support and feedback I've received during this whole adventure! I hope you enjoy all the content I've been able to share this far, I hope you guys stick around for more!
I love to fit my videography in my videos when I can. I've got a passion for photography/videography, so I love to push my creativity to help better the quality of my videos for you all to enjoy.
Again, thank you all for the awesome support and being so uplifting. Can't wait to see where motovlogs and motorcycles take me next! Cheers!

I bought this helmet a few weeks ago, and i have to say, its one of the best helmets I have ever owned. In terms of wind noise/ protection, yes this helmet has some noise, but its no where near as bad as a Icon Airflite ( insane whistle noises over 80km/h) or other brands. Every helmet has noise, if you were not able to hear anything going on around you, that can be a safety issue as your effectively driving deaf. I've taken this on the highway with no earplugs up to 120-130kms and I haven't suffered any hearing loss. As others stated they do provide a chin guard that helps mitigate the noise. Looks 10/10, Price 10/10, Venting 10/10. My head must be made for this helmet because i have zero discomfort while riding for hours on end. The visor has fogged up on me momentarily while stopped but once you get moving with the vents open it clears up. This is a great helmet not only for the track but for your everyday commute as well.

The pressurepoints that you get on your forehead aren't because of the thin liner. It's because the helmet doesn't fit your head shape like it should. A lot of different helmets have different fits even though they claim to be intermediate oval for example. I'd suggest getting a different helmet. I have a k5 and I can wear it an entire day if I have to without any discomfort.

The helmet looks cool, I checked out the stats and the protection statistics are good as well. AGV overall is a very good brand.

3:49 That's easy to forget since it's the first place where the gloves and balaclava goes after riding. I do the same, when you grab the helmet everything is together and ready to go for the ride.

I noticed with many of the helmets with the bigger air vents the wind noise does increased compared to one with less but I rather be a little bit deaf than cook inside the helmet.
Keep well & Ride safe out there.

Agree with lots of air flow. I can’t believe how much the visor fogs up. But I did ride to work when it was 42 degrees out..

I am a 15 year old Italian boy who is buying a motorcycle for high school, from school to home, a journey of about 10 kilometers. listening to your story and your review I am happy to have "met" you. I'm sorry for what happened to you. you may never read this comment, but thank you very much and a warm hug

[Jay_Michael]

I'm a huge fan of the K1. I just bought another one in the Gothic 46 Valentino Rossi graphic. I did pin locks bc I found the visor to fog quite a bit. Now it's perfect.

[wellberlyndem]

ANOTHER ONE ..!! DAMNNNN .. AGV K1 gloss full black clear visor got my pinlock in the shelf.. love the helmet for long ride I remove the padding an just wore my ski mask its fine jus gotta work thru it ..got to keep it clean & fresh.

[Lei.theRogue]

I think the K1 is a good beginner helmet or one to use for a very chill cruise day (not for highways—like you said). It took a long time for me to notice (I swap helmet quite often) that it is pretty loud. I like mine for a really hot day or a quick ride to a bike night. It’s definitely one of the better looking ones in its price range—in my opinion. Can’t wait to see your next choice!

[conraddevera]

I've tried agv, I tried maybe 2 other brands and model. I am new so I don't know much. But the agv (Asian fit) felt the best in terms of fit

[zhafirinrusli]

Thanks for the info. Hi from Malaysia 👋🏻

[knightsljx]

the biggest flaw about the K1 is that it doesn't have emergency release padding, which IMO should be standard on all helmets. that's one thing you need the MOST when you really need your helmet to save your life.

it has OK room for spectacles/sunglasses. but if the arms are too thick, they don't really want to go into the helmet, despite having spectacle channels.

the venting is good while riding, but one thing i found, is that if you are sweating after a hot ride, and you lift your visor all the way up at a red light or just stop, the moisture actually sometimes vents out the top front vents, fogging up your visor

[Sabahes_ASMR]

I just ordered one of these hoping for a helmet that fits me and doesn't have an XXL shell that makes me look like a bobblehead.

[brandonjerue]

"Your safety has no price".... love it!

Switching from the Icon Airmada (that I've had for 3 years) to the AGV K1 with the gold pinlock. (It hasn't arrived yet)
I've spoken to a few other women who have also made the change from Icon to AGV and a couple of them also had the same grievance about the forehead lining at highway speeds.
My reason for moving away from Icon to AGV is because even the K1 has a better SHARP rating than most of Icon's helmets.

[NiSE_Rafter]

It would be cool if AGV could make an updated version of this iconic helmet at a similar price point within the next few years that passes new safety standards/certs like ECE 22.06 or Snell M2020. Also, I've heard that noise is just something that often comes along with higher airflow helmets.

[ItsATrap]

It's a entry level racing helmet, so loudness was not a design consideration.

[MicMurphy]

This is the best explanation about this helmet thank you so much!!! I have a scorpion exor710. I had a scorpion exo r2000 but i have to replace it and wanted to stay with scorpion. Because of their fog free shield i hate the fact of pin Lock but i was about to buy one and those cons are to much for me. Thanks again sista GOD Bless you.

For the look price and quality, this helmet wins every time. Every single helmet is loud unless you have a full curtain installed and even then its still loud. You should always ride with at least basic earplugs but investing in something like nonoise brand plugs that are reusable is a good move. I also wear a thin balaclava so keeps my ears upright, earplugs in place, and eases any discomfort you my get from some of the pads. K1 also has a small chin curtain stock so its clear to me agv is trying to resolve this as much as possible. At the end of the day you’re on the motorcycle in the road, there is not helmet in this world that is actually “quiet.” And I don’t believe that spending more gets you a safer helmet because it simply doesn’t in most cases. No such thing as a perfect helmet but this one comes close. I’ve had many helmets and this one is by far my favorite and happens to be in the lower price range

[alexcidjavillonar]

If you want not loud sounds of wind get the Shoei

[treverw]

Just bought this helmet. Straight out the box. I can feel Velcro from liner rubbing on my forehead.
