2015 AGV K-5 Sport Touring Full-face helmet – estimated RM2k

2015 has seen AGV coming up with new addition of K series which is this K-5. Before this we can see the popular K-3 in Malaysia worn by many riders who prefer the fitting of the AGV. Then, AGV upgrade the K-3 lineup by introducing the K-3 SV which refers to the K-3 with Sun Visor for comfortable riding at day or even at night.

The main difference that we can see from K-3 and K-5 is the K-5 shell is made from fibreglass and also carbon fibre to ensure toughness and lightness. It is made according to the AGV Extreme Standards technology.

The price is not known yet at the time of writing but I estimate it at RM2k. Not yet available in Malaysia. 4 more pictures after the break:

Official words from AGV:

AGV continues renewing its range with innovative products designed using AGV Extreme Standards technology. This time it’s the K-5, the new AGV point of reference for sports use but now with much more comfort. The shell is made of fibreglass and carbon fibre and guarantees resistance and lightness while the lines are aerodynamic and streamlined in true AGV style. A perfect fit and easily operated inner visor ensure complete rider comfort. Size is minimised thanks to design studies carried out on racing helmets and the integrated rear spoiler provides excellent stability even at high speed.

The K-5 is now the new point of reference in the SPORT-TOURING sector.
