AGV K1 S
By Jack Rydell
The AGV K1 S is a thermoplastic full-face helmet. This overview covers the European ECE 22.06 model, not the earlier K1.
Who should consider it
European riders seeking the K1 S’s thermoplastic full-face layout and comparing a simple helmet-and-accessory package.
Features and trade-offs
AGV identifies a thermoplastic outer shell and a multi-density EPS liner.
Do not substitute the earlier K1’s approval or equipment. Confirm the supplied shield and any anti-fog accessory separately before comparing the total.
What to check at a fitting
Check the view in your normal posture, then operate the visor and adjust the strap. Bring your usual glasses rather than judging clearance with an empty helmet.
Start with the manufacturer’s size chart and keep the helmet on long enough to identify pressure points. Follow the model’s fitting instructions and repeat the retention checks after any approved adjustment. Record the size and padding configuration that works for you.
Use the helmet fit checklist before comparing accessories.
Two alternatives to try
- LS2 FF800 Storm II (EU). Riders building a European full-face shortlist around an internal sun visor and a straightforward touring setup.
- AGV K6 S (EU). European road riders considering a carbon-aramid full-face helmet and willing to compare the weight of their actual size.
Compare these three helmets. Keep the version labels visible when considering models from different markets.
