- Agv K3 vs Agv K5 - Which Should You Buy?
Have you been wondering which of these two Agv helmets you should purchase?
I decided to do a little comparison between my Agv K3 Misano edition Vs my AGV K5 Deep.
Tell you a little about each of them and which one i prefer out of the two.
I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for doing this. It helped me decide which one to buy.
thank you. exactly what i needed to know. I liked the K5 and just needed to know why the extra money as the K3 looked ok, Im going for a K5 as noise and weight are important to me.
I couldn't agree more on the K3, but the noise level is a big, big deal if you do traveling. For everything else it is fantastic value.
Just bought the K5, I prev had the k3. The quality and feel of the interior v is much better, feels great against my face. The weight is much lighter. The aerodynamics are much better although similar shape the k5 doesn't want to rip your head off when you look up. The k5 is quieter, I've been riding without earplugs whereas the k3 I had to. I've bought the exact same size as my k3 and it fits true. K5 has a d ring instead of the click on type.
Im very happy I made the purchase.
Does the k5 run big or small, is it really snug? And can I use glasses with it?
Im pretty sure both are fiberglass. Their Corsa R model is carbon-aramidic-fiberglass. I think the k5 has Kevlar mixed with the fiberglass so the shell can be made thinner but stronger. Also, my wife has the k3 sv and her neck roll does come out. Its snapped in and has shives that slide behind the styrofoam. I have the K5 and i do love it. Just as much as my old arai that cost me a mortgage payment 😆..
Im planning to get into biking soon when i turn 18 and get an a2 license and this comparison really helped me understand the benefits of getting a k5 aka a more expensive helmet over what i initially intended to get, an icon airflite...
Im glad i could help dude.
Ride safe out there.
im split between this and the icon airlfite, do you recomend me to get this one?
@@lucyluke9468 ehh i still need to wait like 3 months untill i can start driving school so havent gotten any helmet yet... but i recommend u get either the agv k5s or a shoei nxr... but first go to a store and test what helmets suit ur head shape from those 2...
@@lucyluke9468 OOF I have both the AGV K1, K5-S and the Icon Airflite. And I really do not like the Airflite, too much wind noise and hard to get off my head.
Can I swap agv k1 visor to k5 or k3 ? ...are the k5 and k3 visor interchangeable to k1 ?
Yes they’re. K1 K3 and K5 can all have the same visors installed on them.
Congratulations on the weight loss, but how would that drop your head size from a Large to a MS?!
Thanks.
It’s not the head size that changes. It’s the weight held in your cheeks and face preventing you from wearing a smaller helmet.
I have a K3-SV in Rossi Five Continents Design. I use Class 5 ear plugs so noise is not an issue. In saying that I'll be moving up the AGV ladder when the K3-SV requires replacing. Only issue I have with my K3-SV is it fogs up a little. Is the K5 any better in that respect ?
Hey dude,
The K5 still has the fogging issue but then again so does the Pista GP’s i have found the the fogging was less on the K5 to begin with when it was brand new but as time went on and the seals wore it got a little worse.
Hope this helps man 👍🏻
Doesn't it come with pin lock visor
How do you get the liners back in properly on the K5 I can't get the bottom pads back in properly
The liner has little black locating pins. That clip into the shell of the helmet.
And if you’re talking about the neck roll that if you get a light you see little plastic clips between the outer shell of the helmet and the foam inner shell just push the neck roll locating cut outs into those clips they do require a bit of pressure sometimes.
@@DaSpedzaMotoVlogs mine won't clip back in they just pop back out or fold
Thanks for the review. It’s helped me decide which one I want.
Anytime dude 👍🏻 im glad i could help.
I love my K3 SV but it's very cold in the winter and pretty heavy
Can i use k1 for touring?
You got the k5 because it matched your bike... well guess why I am looking at it 😂😂 thx for the review because there aren't many out there. The one im looking at is a bit different in terms of colour. It is the k5s hero with the matte black and thin red lines that match the colour of the ducati monster I want to buy as my next bike!
Hahahaha
Im glad i could help.
Good luck with the ducati dude 👍🏻
@@DaSpedzaMotoVlogs thank you!
if the agv k3 fit me well (in shape), will the k5 fit well as well?
Yes they’re very similar.
Are AGV helmets quiet? I had a hjc, on a quiet bike and my ears were ringing in the helmet. I could only cope with earplugs. I don't want HJC anymore.
The k3 is noisey.
The K5 is quiet when it’s new but does get noisey as it ages. But that’s to be expected as things wear over time.
Difference is weight, k5s much more quiet, and much better ventilation on k5s as well.
Interesting video, cheers mate. I picked up a K5-S a while ago and my flatmate just got a K3.
Thanks man 😃
Are you enjoying the K5-S?
@@DaSpedzaMotoVlogs Hey man only just saw ya reply. My K5-S is going great still, no issues. Keep up the good vids!
How about K3 SV? Or that’s pretty much the same?
K3 SV is the exact same as the K3 however it has a Sun Visor inbuilt that’s what the SV stands for both of the helmets in the video are SV options.
Great review. Thanks
I paid €204 for my AGV K5-S.
Do you have problems with wind noises?
where???
@@mhfcka I'll have to look at receipt another day. I think it could have been close to black Friday too. Not sure.
@@druffkopf3442 No.
@@TheIrishBosnian oh ok brother i would appreciate if you culd tell me .. im low on budget and if i find it cheaper its very good for me . tks
In *terms of aerodynamics,* is the *K5 S* better than the *K3 SV* and *K1?*
Aerodynamics are pretty much the same across the three due to the fact they have almost the same shell design. However the K5 is made from better quality materials than the others.
@@DaSpedzaMotoVlogs So it's also the same as an *NXR,* and perhaps a bit better in terms of aerodynamics and materials?
@@shadowv6794 hey there is a K6 now :D
@@Pilzi02 Yes, I know about the K6. I saw a review from Champion Helmets two months ago, and the helmet looked amazing. And few days ago where AGV finally released it at their website, looks amazing again.
You have made my mind up, K5 it is but are the sizes the same as my K3 as i have a XL and hope when i purchase my new K5 XL its the same size, 👍 was the Sena easy to install also..
John
Hi John did you get the K5? I have the K3 and am looking at K5 for next year. My K3 is XL I am wondering about the size also?
how about agv k1. What is your take on the helmet?
The K1 is the same helmet as the K3 SV he is reviewing in this video. The K1 just doesn’t have the sun visor.
The K1 is good it is slightly different to the K3 the K3 is the cheapest of the line up and is made from a polycarbonate. And has a ratchet style strap which is garbage imo.
Where as the K1 is in between the K3 and K5
The K1 is made from a different material it isn’t carbon fiber deposit or polycarbonate it’s made from a thermoplastic which isn’t ideal because it tends to bounce on impact.
It does however unlike the k5 and k3 use the air vents and duck tail rear spoiler from the pista gp. And imo the vents are easier to use than the K3 and K5 design
And the K1 doesn’t have the sun visors like the k5 and k3. But it does come with a pinlock visor and you can always buy tinted visors like what i do regardless of the sun visor.
The K1 is comfortable and worth the price.
It also jas the D rings like the K5
But i still think you’re better off going the K5 for the extra 100 or so $$
Why would you get a different size of helmet
If you watched the video you would know because I mentioned why.
DaSpedza MotoVlogs you losing weight?
I currently have a K5S but am getting a K3-SV 2014 Misano soon. My Sena SMH 10-R fits great in the K5, I was wondering if I would be able to put a Sena in the K3-SV and it fit as well? It's been tricky finding an answer on forums. Thanks!
Hey dude,
You shouldn’t have to many dramas because the K3 and the K5 are basically the same shell and design. With only slight changes.
Hope this helps man 😃
@@DaSpedzaMotoVlogs what about the padding inside? K5 more comfy?
The K5 is way more comfortable than the K3
Picked up a K5 for under £100 GBP lmao
how duude
Probably small head so the sizes are stocked often.
