another great review Bren.. i have been considering the AGV..and the actual over all size seems more compatible for smaller people as well. keep up the good work mate.
It does fit well. Like most of these things the best thing is try it. After I got the AGV the Shoei Glamster was reduced, I had tried it on a few weeks earlier and it felt super comfortable but at time of buying was too expensive
Heya mate, thanks for the review. I have both the agv and the bell and I completely agree. I would also say that in my opinion the agv is much warmer on the colder days as you can't shut off the vents on the bell.
@Pint Sized Biker Haha, your right about a chilly chin 😅. I brought a warm neck tube and it worked a treat. I wore the bell out for the first time in a while last week on a sunny day. It was cold and dark when I came home and my head was frozen solid 🥶😂.
Just got mine today in XL size. Always get white as I think it’s more visible and gloss black was impossible to find in stock in the UK. Fits great and really comfortable. Love the clean look and can’t wait to try it out on the road.
As much as it is a ball ache ask dealers that stock AGV. That is how I got mine as everywhere set out of stock. Last time I was in the Newbury Kawasaki I am sure they had one but not sure on size.
I had the AGV helmet for a couple of years, I probably wore it 40 times max. Taking it off one day the whole thing cracked (where the visor hinges), hairline crack that ran two thirds of the way around the helmet! Nothing special, handled it like I always had, not overly rough or anything. It looks very stylish but mine was absolutely crap for durability. Never again will I buy AGV.

I used to have an original AGV like that in the early 1980’s, would love a Barry Sheene replica though.
The dealership i got it form had Barry Sheene one. I was in there a few weeks ago and it was still there

That is true. I’ve been wearing it in the cold snap and it’s good. You get a slight chill on your chin but in general all good. Great helmet

Have you managed to try it out yet?
Brilliant mate, good review. I don’t suppose you got a Shoei Glamster for Christmas you want to tell us about 😉
Haha sadly not! I did try one on and it felt perfect, I notice right now there is some good deals on them right now.
I can’t find a xl in that Agv colour anywhere in the world …sucks that they discontinued

Yikes that is concern! Will keep a close eye on mine
yikes have you tried reaching out to agv customer support? they do sell visor replacement
AGV discontinued the X3000, I have 2 and regard them as the best value retro helmet
Is it gone completely? That’s a shame
@pintsizedbiker Sorry if it did not come across very nicely but, next time, tell the camera guy not to stand between you and the sun.
Cameraman's shade is very annoying
Thanks for the input. Sorry it annoyed you 😊
