So, for anyone just finding this a year later, I have been testing the K6-S for a while, comparing it to a Shoei X-15, Arai Contour X, and an Arai Signet X. If you have a longer oval head, the K6-S fit is similar to the Arai Signet. No forehead hotspot. The Shoei X-15 and the Arai Contour are a little more intermediate oval shape. All my helmets are size large, but the K6-S feels a bit less snug, like I could drop down to a medium- maybe. The K6-S ventilates better than the X-15, I was shocked by this. On those hot days, you can actually feel cool air through the K6-S, I never feel that in the X-15, Signet or Contour. Interior is nice and soft, very comfortable. Not any noisier than any other helmet I own, but I wear earpeace filters. Viewport is massive. Easily the lightest helmet I own. I ride a 23 MT10, and the helmet stays stable in the wind, no buffeting. For the price, it's a great helmet. My issue is that it just lacks a premium feel. The paint is fine, but nothing special. The visor attachment is clever, but fiddly. The vents feel kind of cheap. And it's not super fair to compare a $500 helmet to $800-1000 helmets. That it even compares to those at all is a massive achievement by AGV. Under the Pista, this is now AGV's second tier helmet, and I'd love to see a slightly more premium version, like a K6-S+ with higher end paint, graphics, and clearcoat. Definitely recommend.
This helmet runs large. I take in XL in almost every other brand, (61 cm head) but I need a large in the K6S. The XL K6S was gigantic on me.
You guys should also add the details of the previous helmet the k6 into the data list and compare it with the previous one
I was able to buy the K6 S predecessor for $351 after taxes, pretty solid deal I think
I completely overlook this helmet i was going for an nxr 2 but this looks good too
hello, thank you for the information you provided
Thanks to your helmet reviews, you are helping people to buy the right product
Exactly what we aim to do, thanks for watching 💪
how is the visor rating given? I have the K6 and don't have any issues? you didn't actually describe what gives it 3 stars
Nice review! What are the outer sell sizes for the AGV K6-S?
Cool this Helmet added Spoiler back there 👍
If AGV sell this spoiler i will be great upgrade for all K6 owners like me. Wait & see.
Hey you guys recently compared the K6 to the NXR2 coule u maybe update the video with the new K6 ?
Folks, have you noticed changes to lining vs. K6 (thicker etc.)? I know they're compatible, but curious if AGV haven't revised it at some point...
AWESOME AMAZING SUPERB TOP
Yo tengo el K6 y es un casco estupendo,este tiene que ser una maravilla con el alerón nuevo que e han puesto
Que pasa con el AGV Corsa. Ya no le fabrican
@@pepejuan781el corsa estaba canibalizando el Pista y habia que buscar algo no tan deportivo pero que fuese uno bueno.para todo (como el.NXR2)
Is the visor fitment the same as the agv k6?
what is different with agv k6?
you rated the visor 3 stars but why? did I miss something lol?
Coming from a Schuberth S2 to an AGV K6, I hated the visor mechanism. Switching between mirrored and clear is kinda annoying. You need to get the alignment just right then pull the latch down to click it in. With the mirrored lens it’s even harder to see where to align it. And the latch mechanism requires some pretty beefy fingernails to operate 😂
I love to watch your reviews! I want a helmet with an integrated sun visor, which helmet do you recommend?
Thank you Tarik! The best sport touring helmet with integrated sun visor is the GT Air 2. You can check out our sport touring guide and choose a helmet based on what you think is important that a helmet should have!
@@Championhelmets brilliant suggestion, what would be the best sport / street Lid with Integrated visor?
This helmet seems amazing, is it possible to buy this helmet with another color visor?
Hi Emir, It is certainly possible to purchase this helmet with a another color visor! Below the sizes are the bundle deals for the helmet with an other colored visor.
Something wrong with the weight.. AGV does not have sizes like M, it has MS ML, K6 in size XS S weight 1220 gramms in MS 1250 gramms in ML L 1320 gramms in XL XXL 1380 gramms. They added spoiler and it now weight less? Dont think so
Is this helmet suitable for track days? Great review btw
Thank you Nick! Unfortunately the AGV K6-S does not have FIM Certification. If this is mandatory, you are not allowed on the track with this helmet!
Of course it is the lightest! Only there is no sun visor!
very nice review, when can we buy it?
I ordered my k6s last Friday (6/9/23). I believe they are fully available now.
Which helmet would you recommend? The RPHA 71 or the AGV K6-S?
Depends on whether you need that integrated sun visor
Although both are good helmets, the RPHA 71 is slightly better than the AGV K6-S. This helmet performed better on the visor, comfort and features. The AGV K6-S performed better on weight! And indeed, the RPHA 71 has an integrated sun visor.
What I don’t get is why can’t they make them quieter? Base designs on a helmet under 70db at high speed then engineer them for airflow etc to keep under that level. Over 70db for prolonged use is what does your hearing in. Plugs yes obvs but man on the moon etc…
Why is this not available in the US?
just recently released in the US
Between the K6s / K6 / Exo 1400 evo carbon which one would you choose?
Actually the K6s is only on pre order in the UK, so from the K6 vs EXO 1400 Evo Carbon which one would you recommend?
@@cp5472 The scorpion was my main helmet for over 4y, and I think it has a nicer premium feel. Plus visor and air pump to make it tighter.
The K6 wears very differently though, worth trying both and see which one fits best! I picked another helmet to replace the scorpion because the chin guard of the K6 was too close to my nose.
@Matteo comisso thanks for your comment! I actually ended up going with the K6S as it was in Stock in the UK! It's super light and a very comfy fit for my head shape
How much more quiet is this helmet compared to the K6?
Good question! The AGV K6-S is 3 decibels quieter than the K6, which is an audible difference!
Great review. On what parts did the K6-S perform better than the K6?
Thank you! The K6-S performed better on weight and Noise. It was lighter than the K6 and 3 decibels quieter!
@@Championhelmetsdo you know which differences help the S version to perform this better than the predecessor?
Does this have an integrated sun visor?
No
Is this helmet glasses friendly?
Hi Balazs, this helmet is glasses friendly and you should have no problem putting your glasses on and off while wearing the helmet!
they better have improved the visor opening mechanism cause its CRAP on the K6. I had the K6 since it came out. Its all nice and light, but the opening button for the visor is just utter trash, i never got used to it, it's way to cumbersome to open at fully closed position. The button it self feels cheap and quirky, it takes to much effort to open to visor. I would get the NXR 2 instead should i choose today, it has better opening mechanism.
same thing man! ugly opening button, doesnt work at all
I've had the K6 for 3 seasons, starting #4. You just have to learn the quirks.
If you want that partial open it requires 2 steps. 1st depress the button. It will remain partially depressed. 2nd pull up on visor edge, it will stop w/ about 1/4" opening.
If you want to open the visor you push the button all the way as you slide your finger or thumb up the button, pushing the edge of the visor up and open.
@@TK-cl1jm man the problem is not with how you use it, but with mechanism that frezee button inside when you push it
@@InegoMinblan what is the issue? If you push the visor closed, the button pops back out.
@@TK-cl1jm issue is allready mentioned, button freezes when you push it doesnt go back. It fall inside and you even cant open visor. That system from AGV is totally crap
Why is this a sport touring helmet and not a racing helmet?
Allthough AGV is calling it an inbetween sport-touring & race helmet, according own definition it doesn't really fall under the category of a sport-touring helmet. It doesn't have an integrated sun visor like most other sport-touring helmets. And therefor it is not specifically designed for longer touring trips. A manufacturer is basically free t categorize any helmet however they like. Therefor we maintain our own definition of what makes a sport-touring helmet. But we do show the competitors according the manufacturer positioning.
When's it coming out tho
