Fast forward to December 2023, I just purchased a carbon fiber version of this helmet from agv for $350, this helmet is probably the best helmet I've ever owned and I've had other high-end helmets
Public Service Announcement: light smoke, dark smoke, silver iridium, and gold iridium shields ARE AVAILABLE from various UK based websites. Do a little homework and you’ll find them. Cannot wait to see gold iridium on my Carbon AX9. 🤘🏼
I've had this bad boy for a few months now and still loving it. Really the only gripe I have is the definite lack of visor options, no tinted, no mirrored, no nothing. Luckily it fits sunglasses like a glove (no, I don't actually carry my glasses in a glove, it's just a figure of... oh, you know). Of course, my helmet now weighs almost double with the added gopro, gopro mic adapter, cardo freecom 4+ and the mandatory mohawk XD
It is rare that in this review make the comment that in this version ax9 if there is room for speakers and in ax8 does not have that space, being that in the video review of ax8 named that the same used the helmet and had no problems in using an intercom device, it's strange that in this video in which in some way it compares the advantages of the new ax9 make mension on that po
I put some nail polish remover in the visor to take out gum dirt. And I am surprised to see the big cracks in the visor all most un usable due to that nail polish remover chemical. For everyone information never use any chemical to clean the visor. Just use soap and water. ...
Ciao ho un problema con questo casco, il dentino della visiera non rimane incastrato quando la visiera è chiusa e con il minimo movimento si apre la visiera, è normale?
I have an AX8 EVO GT Carbon, awesome, light, comfortable. But it is downright DANGEROUS in the rain... totally fogs up and rain drops don't shift due to shape... I wonder if this one has improved?
True story. I live in SF where it rarely gets warm... it fogged up on me every damn time I wore it. I ended up ripping the visor off of it and just using it with goggles.
Not that agv has complied but they seem to not give a hoot about emergency cheek pads. Most are 1 piece which will include the neck roll. I bet it'll be a deal breaker for some.
Feel free to read the customer reviews for both helmets, since it's mainly subjective differences. Both are premium, well-made helmets. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-ax-9-helmets *www.revzilla.com/arai-xd-4-helmet
Yes it does. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat

How would you say this compares to an xd-4 or the more road-oriented e1? Each time I stray from Dainese products I always end up regretting the decision.
It's a bit too early to tell for sure, but at this point I'd say the AX-9 is a better off-roader than anything. I'm hoping they come out with a streetable version like they did with the AX-8 Naked. Only time will tell. -Kraus-e
@@RevZilla Pretty much the same question. I own an Arai, and it saved my life after day 1 of using it. But I'm looking at the new AGV Carbon ax9 love the sleek look. From both 2 brands you have super good things to say. Comparing both XD4 and the AGV AX9 Carbon. Which one would you pick? I'm a 50/50 off road/road rider.
Do you think a Cardo Packtalk Slim would fit in this helmet? Cardo doesn't list it as compatible on their website, but only because they haven't tested it yet.
Новый может быть и хорош, но как в нем ездить при температуре около нуля по цельсию? на прошлой модели есть задвижка в передней части, а на новом соты(
Generally, yes, this can work for a lot of eyeglasses. For the best fit for glasses, consider Shoei and Arai. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-ax-9-helmets *www.revzilla.com/shoei-hornet-x2-helmets *www.revzilla.com/arai-xd-4-helmet
@@RevZilla thanks,how bout extra accessories like rubber cap to plug the screw holes (i only got 3 on this) from my local distributor. and maybe visor mechanism (which is only "L" part comes in the package). Maybe any other accesories beside those two?
@@hadeiy Ok, so in addition to the helmet and helmet bag, you should receive a Pinlock anti-fog lens insert, and then a bag with the manual, 6 rubber caps for the holes, and then 2 pieces that control the detents of the face shield. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla
The shield is flat from top to bottom, so it doesn't have the optics of a compound curve shield, but it doesn't distort like cheap shields can. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-ax-9-helmets

It's pretty average for noise like most dual sport helmets. It's not overly loud, though we always recommend wearing earplugs with all helmets. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/agv-ax-9-helmets
No lo compres, en dos meses el un mecanismo de la visera rota, en 4 meses el otro y se ha perdido el clip de la correa, aparte de que es insoportable lo rumoroso que es, es tirar el dinero.Lo mejor de este casco es el departamento de marketing.

Bought an AX-8 EVO from you guys. It's an awesome helmet. Glad to see a newer system coming online with better compatibility for bluetooth systems.
Just bought one, excellent helmet and very comfortable! Hasn't been released in Australia yet so had to order from Italy.
Hi Borge, do you find it noisy? wind noise is noticeable?
I have a naked bike and the wind noise troubles me!
Thank you.
@@HerrKatzen use earprotection
@@theboogeyman5736 I commute everyday, I find anoying not being able to ear my surroundings
I just ordered this helmet before I watched reviews. And I knew it would not disappoint me😁 AGV know what they’re doing.
No mention on additional sound proofing or how it feels with real world use

There are visor options! Just ordered my gold iridium shield with clear pin lock shield already installed from the UK for £90 shipped.
@@CynicsAnon Barely a week ago i couldn't find anything. But I am stoked they are available now! Thanks for the info!
For sure brother. Also, UV reactive pinlock inserts are available for your clear shield if that’s more your thing. I like having options.

Can you wear goggles with the shield on? He states they made is more difficult, but does that mean you should expect to remove shield to use goggles?

Been wanting this upgrade for so long! I have the AX-8 evo DS and along with a tinted visor it's cost me 700AUD so it'll be while until I can upgrade.

Yea mine's bad for it but I do love the helmet. I have a AGV K3 SV too but I still prefer the AX8 for comfort.
It has pin lock thank goodness!
I have a ax8, love it, just my main complaint is in heavy rain i noticed the shield leaks from the top, just wondering if the ax9 has a better seal?
We do find that the AX-9 has a better seal. -DrewZilla
Not that agv has complied but they seem to not give a hoot about emergency cheek pads. Most are 1 piece which will include the neck roll. I bet it'll be a deal breaker for some.
agv ax9 peak fits on the ax8 I like the longer peak !?
Compared to Klim Krios Pro ⁉️
Can an AX8 visor fit on the AX9 helmet? Mostly because I don’t want the pin lock holes in my visor
So is the ax9 and the ax8 got the same lid?
You forgot to mention the most important thing that the new helmets visor support pinlock the old one is horrible to ride in the rain or cold!
I´m thinking about getting this helmet, but i also like very mucha the arai xd4. I would like to read all sorts of comments on both helmets.

Cut the styrofoam using hot knife for the eyeglasses
The Ax-9 visor fits on Ax-8? thx
We won't be certain until AGV releases the helmet, but I believe it'll use a new shield. -Kraus-e
@@RevZilla that's a shame...would of given AX8 owners the chance to buy pinlock shield.
can you mention whats included on the box beside the helmet itself? i want to make sure that i get the accesories included in the helmet are intact
You should get the helmet with the face shield and peak visors installed as well as the cloth helmet bag the helmet is packed in. -DrewZilla

no sunvisor? :/

Can I use AX9 chin vent for my AX8?
No, I believe the chin vents are different and not compatible. -DrewZilla
of course you're ok with a 100 dollar price rise
carbon fiber ?
