Italian helmet brand AGV has expanded its iconic K range with the introduction of the new K7 helmet. Designed for riders seeking high-performance and comfort on the road, the K7 is a departure from AGV's flagship race helmet, the Pista GP RR. With several MotoGP stars currently using the company's flagship race helmet, this new addition aims to cater to sport touring enthusiasts who require a more comfortable and stable ride.
The K7 helmet boasts an aerodynamic shell developed in a wind tunnel to provide stability at high speeds. The integrated spoiler and optimised profile reduce turbulence and vibration, resulting in improved comfort and reduced rider fatigue. This design feature is particularly important for riders who spend extended periods on the road, as it helps mitigate neck strain and fatigue.
The K7's composite fibre shell is available in three outer sizes and four expanded polystyrene inner shells, offering a range of options to suit different head shapes and preferences. The helmet's weight range is 1450 to 1480 grams, making it suitable for riders who require a balance between comfort and performance.
AGV has placed a strong emphasis on comfort with the new K7, incorporating advanced airflow management to reduce neck fatigue on longer rides. The interior can be customised through interchangeable cheek pads that work in conjunction with the patented Air Diffusion Crown Pad Technology ventilation system. This attention to detail ensures a comfortable and ventilated riding experience.
The helmet's Ultravision panoramic visor provides a 190-degree horizontal field of vision, allowing riders to stay focused on the road while maintaining a wide range of peripheral visibility. An integrated sun visor is also included for added convenience and protection from the elements.
The K7 is already available in the UK with various colourways, but it's completely new to North America. The helmet's introduction marks an exciting development in AGV's product lineup, offering sport touring enthusiasts a high-performance option that prioritises comfort and stability.
AGV has also released two new variants of the K7 helmet, the MPLK Glimpse and MPLK Damascus, priced at £449. These limited-edition models offer riders an opportunity to experience the K7 in unique and stylish ways.
The success of AGV's flagship race helmet, the Pista GP RR, has undoubtedly contributed to the brand's reputation as a top-tier helmet manufacturer. The introduction of the K7 helmet further solidifies this position, demonstrating AGV's commitment to innovation and rider comfort.
Riders who value high-performance and comfort will be eager to get their hands on the new K7 helmet. With its advanced design features and attention to detail, this helmet is poised to become a favourite among sport touring enthusiasts.
AGV continues to innovate with the K7 helmet, prioritizing rider comfort and performance.
