AGV: Pista GP-RR Performance Carbon helmet

AGV says this is an exact replica of the lids worn by the folks in MotoGP – which goes some way to excusing the chunky price tag. It’s the top-end 100 per cent carbon fibre FIM-approved race lid from the Italian helmet brand and is packed with high-end features. You get a titanium double D-ring fastening; hydration system; customisable inner padding for ideal fit; tear-off kit; metal vent trims; detachable PRO spoiler; and much more.

It weighs just 1450g in the small shell size, and is, of course, ECE 22.06 approved. It’s not yet been SHARP tested, but the previous GP-R variant got five stars and full marks in the UK Government safety testing scheme. Available in these subtle red, green, or matt black/red colourways.
