AGV is a premium Italian brand who has been manufacturing motorcycle helmets since 1948.  AGV Helmets have had a strong presence in the racing world, being worn by the legends of yesteryear such as Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Johnny Cecotto, Angel Nieto, and Marco Lucchinelli and is the helmet of choice for the legend of today: the current legend: Valentino Rossi. An AGV Helmet will provide comfort and protection in a range of riding conditions and the aerodynamics of the helmet will provide a stable and reliable platform for both street & track riding and the MX line of AGV helmets will perform exceptionally well on the dirt. In 2007 AGV merged with Dainese. Motozone considers the AGV brand to be among the top competitors for premium motorcycle helmets currently available.

Aside from their historical significance, AGV wields a wealth of functional significance within their broad model spread. The AGV Pista GP and Corsa stand at the top of the totem on the heads of some of the world's most prestigious racers. If you'd rather be winding through the alps than on the track, the AGV K5S fits the bill with an internal sunshield and a plethora of creature comforts. The K3 SV stands arm in arm with a different shell composition. Aside from the traditional full-face, AGV also supplies the modular category with the Sportmodular Carbon and the open-face crowd with the X70. Moving from street to dirt, the AX-8 EVO models fill out the rougher side of the sport. If you take a closer look at the AGV AX-8 Evo line, you'll notice the introduction of a "Naked" version that brings much of the style and form of a Dual-Sport Helmet to the street. The absence of a "peak" allows the AGV AX-8 Evo Naked Helmet to feel more at home on the highway than its dual-sport counterpart and the EVO Naked Carbon Helmet offers a seriously lightweight, all around mean looking addition to the line. Additional members of the AGV team can be seen with the GT Veloce helmets that offer a premium street/touring option.
