A contemporary take on the classic 1970s design of racer helmets, the AGV X3000 motorcycle helmet pays homage to some of the greatest former motorcycling professionals. The AGV X3000 is a replica of the helmet worn by Giacomo Agostini as he competed in over 15 championship races. Current versions now include some of the distinct styles of other championship greats like Barry Sheene and Angel Nieto.
The AGV X3000 Features
This helmet comes with a fibreglass shell that is lightweight and equipped with expanded polystyrene (EPS) lining for superior shock-absorbing capability. It weighs in at about 1.3 kilograms, making it a great choice for those that appreciate comfort and ease of head movement. The AGV X3000 helmet is both DOT certified and ECE tested. All these qualities confirm that like other AGV helmets, this one offers excellent safety capacity.
Riders can secure the helmet in place using standard double-d ring fasteners that can be opened single-handedly. The moulded visor provides good and wide all-round views and is scratch resistant. It is also air and watertight, ensuring no disruption from foreign bodies while riding. It is easily manipulated using a metal mechanism that is firm yet smooth.
When it comes to aerodynamics and airflow, there is little in the way of vents, as is common with classic helmets. Airflow is regulated through vents at the top of the visor and vent holes in the shell. This allows for basic but effective cool airflow that streams from the forehead area towards the back of the head.
The solid EPS lining and neck roll do a good job of limiting the intrusion of wind from the underside into the helmet. However, at higher speeds, riders may experience more noise. The AGV X3000 helmet may be a better option for more casual and low-speed riding where it has been reported to perform above average in noise cancellation.
The helmet’s simple and clean lines appeal to those with minimalistic tastes. From a colour design standpoint, buyers have many options to choose from. Besides styles mimicking former professional racer helmet designs, there are also several simple matte finishes and multi-coloured options to choose from. The interior features plush materials including genuine leather and suede fabric that make for a comfortable feel. Aside from the neck roll, the interiors can be removed and washed, allowing for easy maintenance and cleaning.
When it comes to sizing, the AGV X3000 helmet quite as accommodating. It comes in a variety of sizes ranging from XS to XXL. Remember that comfort is important to your safety when choosing the right helmet. The removable interiors may help in making this helmet a better fit.
