AGV K6 S Helmet Review

AGV brings MotoGP-developed features to the street with the K6 S Helmet. A lightweight carbon aramid fiber shell and aerodynamic shape minimize turbulence while the expansive eye-port and Max Vision Pinlock lens maximize visibility in all conditions. Suitable for the roadway and the raceway, the K6 S is a versatile lid for standard, sport, and naked bike riders.

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.

I absolutely love this helmet. The peripheral view is very big and at freeway speeds I can’t even see the helmet in my peripheral vision. Absolutely love it

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.

I have an Arai and an RPHA HJC but am still considering one of these

[Michael-lutz]

loving my k6s so far… my first non shoei so far

[budrider]

Awesome helmet, light,
!Quiet, comfortable. Yes a squeeze to get on but comfortable neck role.
Warm in summer but perfect as weather cools.

It is hard to use the comm unit with this, the mic is touching you.

[davidvanameyden]

Good rundown. I found the AGV K6 fits my noggin the best, so I hope the K6-S with its higher safety rating will also fit well.

We are still waiting for this helmet in Australia. The current K6 is $730.

Next time you do a helmet comparison please use a helmet with a solid color. The graphics make it difficult to compare. Thanks

I need opinions, I’m stuck on the K6S & Shoei RF 1400. Which should I get first out of the 2?

[gabriellucescu]

only thing im stuggling to do if find any half decent looking visors. they have iridium sliver/gold but nothing else other than clear and like 30-80% tint variants

[huehuehue-xc]

Well timed review! I am in the market and have been cross-shopping this, the Regent-X and the RF-1400.

Getting serious Ace Ventura vibes at 3:36

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.

[Treeman]

Glad I got my K6 on special, not a fan of spoilers anyway.

[juliaroman]

Looks like a really nice helmet other than the price it's tempting

[BrokenRey]

I can’t agree with the neck roll part. I bought my k6 because it didn’t rub on my earrings at all compared to the shoei and arai! If you got earrings I really recommend trying this helmet!

[SMoss]

Just ordered a k1s through your shop… was way to small didn’t even get over the crown of my head… what’s weird is the k3 fits me perfectly I just don’t like the look of it (for reference my head is 25” in circumference and I’m an intermediate oval head)
