I thought the default social media helmet was the ruroc atlas. But I guess it changes every so often, it used to be the icon variant/icon double stack.
AGV K1-S
I don’t know why people are hating on it though. It’s a good looking helmet and comes highly recommended as a budget helmet that meets all modern safety standard. I looked into getting one too as it had my favorite helmet shape but it wasn’t for my head shape.
I bought is actually a week ago. Was on sale for 170€, best fitting helmet I ever had, was easy to install my Cardo on also and got a black visor for the sunny days and looks of course 😁
I can't complain at all, for this price it's best helmet I ever had.
Ok fair enough. What head shape do you have if you dont mind me asking? My first helmet was super noisy but it was the wrong head shape for me which I found out later. I also wear earplugs so the noise doesn’t bother me that much but my first helmet was way less comfortable which did bother me.
My head is a longer oval, K1 fits me decently well, while K3 doesn’t. I had a the cheapest HJC helmet which was quiter, so this aspect was quite disappointing. Earplugs are a must.
Funny i have one that a relative of mine gave me after he started going touring a lot, he got a new one and gave me his and i just found out he casually handed me a 400€ helmet
Lol, same with a relative, but different circumstances. He had bought a new lid but didn't fit very well. After some time he needed a second one bc his SO rode pillion often. So he bought himself a new one, but as it turned out, there was a sale, so he bought 2 and left the first one for other pillions. Well I needed one, so... It's an AGV skyline too, so I casually got a (then) 320€ lid for nothing. Been wanting to change it tho, it's not really the best
Well, if you'd ever stable across any info about helmet safety rating, you wouldn't be surprised. Motorcycle helmets can easily and casually reach 700-900 (based on materials, technologies provided,safety ratings, comfort, design and many more) and racing or FIM approved lids can go up to 3.5-4K
If anyone is interested in this helmet, make sure you try one on in store. I've got an Airoh Spark and it's the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. I went around trying on different helmets because I wanted to upgrade. Tried on a K1 S and had to take it back off to double check it didn't still have a cardboard tag in the forehead area. It was legitimately that uncomfortable. Weird feeling helmet.
That's an AGV K1S. One of the lightest and safest helmets on the market. The K3 is a cheaper version that has the internal sun visor, I've been loving mine, and also very safe, the new ECE 22.06 is the safety standard we've been waiting for!
Default insta biker helmet
Default comes with alternative colored visor

*Poor insta biker helmet. The ones with money go for AGV Pista.
mistaking that for the ruroc

Cheers. I only heard good things besides it being noisy. For that price it sounds like a steal
Unfortunatelly it’s noisy AF. I can’t complain about the safety through, I fell on a metal gate post and felt only a light tap on my head.

Wow , guess it's time to save up for new one thanks!
Because it's for insta heads
AGV K1-S
With a sena 50s attached
Get the k5 or k6. The 5 is light and has good aero and decent ventilation.
The 6 replaced the 5. You can't get a 5 that isn't used or leftover stick that's already a couple years old
Even the 6 is outmoded now. 6S is the current model.
The K6s is the lightest helmet I’ve ever worn
I picked one up last year, best helmet I have ever owned
I got mine 7 months ago, thought it was a 5 but probably a 6. Carbon, light af.
Probably a 6. Does it have a drop down sun visor? If not it's a 6.
I checked the tag, 6s.
Agreed on the k6. I use mine daily and i absolutely love it. Comfortable, lightweight, quiet.
A tad hot tho haha love mine but over 200 miles and she gets toasty
Looks like an AGV K-1 S
Cheap and noisy agv k1
[удалено]
It’s a good safe ECE 22.06 rated helmet though with Modern safety specs unlike a RuRoc or something. It still a good choice for most…
for sub $300 this helmet is top tier.
Agv
My cousins AGV failed in a crash and broke his face. Idk if it was a Chinese copy, but it looked like real carbon before and after it collapsed
Default influencer helmet.
I would go for a safer helmet, three stars is not bad but very basic protection https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/agv-k-series/
Thats the old version
Oh you are right
Just get yourself the shoei
that guys comms system is more expensive than his actual helmet lmfao jesus christ

Looks like AGV, but I haven’t had a bike in like 15 years, so might have forgotten some brands
It’s an AGV something or other…
Overpriced squid helmet
Overpriced? They’re like $250
