Is the AGV K1S good for everyday road riding?

Yes. It is designed as a sport helmet for daily riding, with strong ventilation, a washable liner and a glasses-friendly fit. It is stable at speed but noisier than touring-focused helmets.

Does the K1S come with a Pinlock insert?

The visor is Pinlock-ready, but the anti-fog insert is not always included. Check the box contents before buying if you ride in cold or wet conditions.

How does the K1S compare with the K1?

The K1S is the updated version of the K1, keeping the race-derived shell shape and ventilation while refining the visor system and fit. It remains a thermoplastic-shell helmet rather than a composite one.

Can I wear glasses with this helmet?

Yes. The interior is shaped to leave room for glasses, and owners report they fit without pressure.

How many shell sizes does it come in?

The shell is made in two sizes, with a four-density EPS liner in four sizes, so the fit is closer across the size range than a single-shell design.

Is the liner removable and washable?

Yes. The Dry-Comfort interior parts are removable and washable, and the nose guard and wind protector can be taken out.

Price facts

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the K1S as a solid value sport helmet with good ventilation and stable high-speed behavior. Common complaints center on wind noise and the weight of the thermoplastic shell.

What people mention

VentilationPraisedRiders say the five front vents move a lot of air and the rear extractors pull heat out well.
NoiseCriticisedOwners report noticeable wind noise at highway speed, more than on quieter touring helmets.
WeightMixedThe thermoplastic shell feels heavier than composite rivals, though most find it acceptable for road use.
StabilityPraisedThe spoiler and shape keep the helmet planted and free of lift at higher speeds.
VisorMixedThe Pinlock-ready visor and micro-opening are liked, but the quick-release mechanism takes practice.
ComfortPraisedThe Dry-Comfort liner is described as soft, removable and easy to wash, with room for glasses.

About the AGV K1S Full Face Helmet Gloss Black

The AGV K1S is a full face sport helmet for everyday riding. It draws on AGV racing technology. The shape is aerodynamic, with racing-developed front air vents and a wind-tunnel-tested spoiler that add stability at higher speeds.

The shell is high-resistance thermoplastic resin made in two sizes. The four-density EPS liner comes in four sizes. Five large front vents and two rear extractors direct air to the rider's head, and all of them are adjustable. The rear extractors are built into the spoiler, which is integrated into the shell profile and inspired by the Pista GP R's Biplano.

The anti-scratch visor has a Pinlock anti-fog insert and gives a wider vertical and lateral field of vision. It comes in two sizes to match the shell size, which reduces air drafts and noise. A micro-opening system boosts airflow, and the Extra Quick Release System mechanism has multiple steps. The Dry-Comfort fabric interior, nose guard and wind protector are soft and removable, and all parts are washable. The fit allows wearing glasses.
