Is the AGV K1 S good for beginners?

Yes. It is the entry point to AGV's full-face line, with a double D-ring strap, four-density EPS and a wide visor. It suits new riders who want brand-name safety design without race-helmet complexity.

Does the K1 S have a sun visor?

No. It has a single clear visor with no internal drop-down sun shade. Riders who want sun protection need a tinted or mirrored shield.

Is the Pinlock insert included?

No. The visor is Pinlock-ready, but the anti-fog insert is sold separately. You need to buy the correct Pinlock lens for this shield.

How does the K1 S compare with the K1?

The K1 S updates the K1 with a wider 190-degree visor, the XQRS tool-free release and revised ventilation. It keeps the thermoplastic shell and four-density EPS of the original.

Can I wear glasses with the K1 S?

Yes. The cheek pads are shaped to leave room for eyewear, and owners who wear glasses report it fits without pressure.

What sizes does the K1 S come in?

It comes in a range of sizes across two shell sizes, so smaller heads get a proportionally smaller shell. Check AGV's size chart before ordering.

About the AGV K1 S Helmet

The AGV K1 S brings genuine AGV heritage and Extreme Safety engineering to the most accessible price point in the lineup. Your K1 S in Red/White/Blue is DOT certified with a high-resistance thermoplastic shell and 4-density EPS that provides reliable multi-speed impact management — plus the AGV collarbone-safe profile that the brand pioneered in world championship racing. The wide 190° horizontal field of view visor with XQRS tool-free release makes shield swaps effortless, and the anti-scratch coating and Pinlock-prepared design keep your vision clear in all conditions. Inside, the Dry-Comfort fabric liner is removable and washable, and the glasses-friendly cheek pad design makes the K1 S a comfortable choice for everyday riders who wear eyewear. Two rear extractors and five front vents keep air moving efficiently on warm days, and the micro-opening visor mechanism lets you fine-tune airflow without fully opening the shield. At The Helmet Shop, the K1 S is where riders enter the AGV family — and rarely want to leave. Backed by AGV's warranty.
