- Got a new lid and wanted to share my unboxing and first impressions with you!
The AGV K6 is a clean and minimal helmet that is one of the lightest weight full-face helmets on the market.
I paired my white one with the Iridium Silver face shield.
Look forward to posting some more updates and reviews on it as I get some time spent with it!

FYI for anybody interested, these are all of the VLT tint percentages directly from AGV (not, "I saw it on a forum" somewhere).
These are all the tint shades/colors they produce, but not all colors are available on all shield and/or visor models.
Clear = 90%
Clear + Pinlock = 80%
Yellow = 90%
Rainbow = 80%
Blue = 50%
Light Smoke = 50%
Dark Smoke = 20%
Iridium Blue = 10%
Iridium Silver = 10%
Iridium Gold = 10%
Be aware that the iridium tints must just be a spray on coating, as I saw another review where the individual warned that he had used a cleaner on his face shield (not just mild soap and water) and he "cleaned" off the iridium. It appeared that the remaining tinted shield after the iridium coating was gone looked like the light smoke, but I don't know for sure.
Here's a YT video of the K6 helmet with the various tinted face shield options. ruclips.net/video/3t3hOiTN0LI/видео.html
Thank you, very useful info!
After trying on about 25 helmets over a year or so, this ended up being the one that fit my head and the most comfortable and lightest. I've had it about a year and a half. This helmet has a super plush interior. I miss having the helmet release on the left side with Shoeis, Arais, and Scorpions, but it does the job. I find all helmets are pretty loud, so I wear earplugs (as do most of my riding friends).
You demonstrate things so nicely. Thank you for always being thorough.
White looks great! I went with white too, while nardo grey looks good I prefer the contrast white creates overall
66 mm is pretty small for whichever head you were talking about :) great choice on the helmet !
🤣
i got the same helmet in gloos black and like yours no ece or dot sticker on helmet......its an authentic helmet so i know its legit, i bought it from europe.....fits perfect and so light, quality product
got MS to get smaller shell size and lighter weight.....it fits tight but still really good.....paid $320 shipped so great deal and gold visor was only $70......visors arent cheap here in US for these but with the helmet it was much cheaper.....its lighter than my HJC RHPA 11 pro
White is more visible
You’re great at making these videos. I wish you would make more.
More to come soon! On the hunt for a new motorcycle and get to riding again!
What helmet brands have a good supply chain when needing to get parts, accessories, etc.
I purchased the secret with the iridium blue and also got an extra pinlock visor. I wish it wasn't so warm but hope it does well in the rain
The pinlock is awesome, finally got around to adding mine the other day and now get 0 fog.
Wish you had put the camera in the helmet before and after the visor so we could see how much the tint is from the rider's POV
Don’t think a camera would fit inside it to be honest
@@moto.obsession a GoPro definitely would. Not while riding, just while outdoors, to see the same piece of road at the same time of day, through both the clear lens and the iridium one, to understand how it impacts the riders experience
How much did your medium large weight?
And about sizing how many cm is your head measurement.
Hi, how much did you measure on the tape as per the size chart?
Iridium blue is better im getting that. But this helmet is a solid helmet for the price!
Hi! About the visor, is it interchangeable with AGV Corsa or Pista? Or this visor is particularly made only for AGV K6? Please let me know 👍👍
K6 only
Seems like it actually is, look for YT video review of this helmet on MotoTribe channel
Do you find the iridium silver is ok on a overcast day? Or its only safe in a very sunny day?
It does not work well at sunset or after, pretty much like the smoked versions.
Really wish AGV would do something like Shoei did and offer transition face shields.
@@moto.obsession Thanks for the heads up!
The visor tint isn't that dark but it's great that it is super easy to swap visors. Only you can determine the right answer for your comfort level.
I know you left this comment a long time ago and my reply might not be relevant anymore to you but I find the iridium silver to be absolutely fine for overcast days, I feel just as safe as using a clear visor when it's overcast, although if it was starting to get darker I would change it over.
Thanks all. Yup so far loving the iridium silver even at dusk its ok
Is the visor dark? I’ve never seen through a visor like this
I can’t use that shield at night, it’s just too hard to see through it so I switch to my clear one.
It'd have been nice if you'd shown through the visor to give an idea of the 'shadyness' of it.
The cool thing about this helmet is how super light it is. You could do a spinning back-fist and not even notice it!😎
Agv have the best visor
I do like the way they clip in compared to some of the others I’ve tried
I really wish they made a transitions shield for the helmet. Got used to it on my other helmet.
Yeah, that was one of the harder parts about deciding between this and the Shoei
Are the AGV logos on the helmet stickers? ( removable )
No, they appear to be printed on the helmet
Zackary Brown thanks for letting me know 👌🏻 gonna buy it anyway
I think the main sticker on the front side is not straight ! :-(
@@mannik.2160 Yeah it's slightly off, thought about seeing if it's covered under warranty but doesn't bother me much
Cool review bro!! How do you like it? I think this or the K5S will be my next helmet! Love it.
Love it! Wish it had a tad more airflow but I'm in central Texas and it's just part of riding in the heat. If I could go back I'd probably go with the Nardo Grey color.
Does the visor have a different size like helmet?
They offer different visor options, not sure if that's what you mean
I noticed on there website certain visors fit certain sizes
Are you sure the dark tint is darker than your iridium silver visor?? I was going to get your exact items but may go with datk tint if it is indeed darker than mirror silver.
According to AGV, the Iridium Silver (10% VLT) is slightly darker than Dark Smoke (20% VLT) but I will say that when you look at both of them from outside of the helmet, the dark smoke looks black and the iridium silver looks reflective but not as dark. I'm really glad I went with the dark smoke for both the internal drop-down visor and the face shield. They almost NEVER get used at the same time, but the one instance when they are a life saver together is when driving directly toward the blinding bright sun when it is low in the sky late in the day. Then it's like looking at the sun through 5% limo tint instead of staring at a searing laser.
White helmet and mirror visor combo is sick 🔥
Thank you!
It's pronounced "EAR-RID-DEE-UM"... Just sayin'. Great helmet. Thank you for the review.
Sorry about that 😂
hi thanks for the video how is silver visör when its dark ? can you see around easily ?
I would not recommend it at all for dark. It’s extremely hard to see at night so I just flip it up if I’m caught without my clear one.
@@moto.obsession silver visor somes without metal ratchet ring ?
make a video on how to clean white helmet as mine AGV K6's colour getting dull day by day!!!
Is that dark or light silver?
How much does this helmet weight?...
Hand it over lol. I just tried on the same exact combo and size today hahaha
you mean 60cm , not 60mm :p nice video though
Oops!
Is the Visor to dark to drive at night ?
Yeah at least for me. I switch to the clear one if I’m riding at night.
No chin curtain? Might be noisy on a naked bike?
It’s no biggie for me, haven’t noticed much of a difference
I Think white Colour kinda Outdated you should Choose Nardo Grey Man.
😂 looking back I would 100% get the nardo grey, it was out of stock at the time and I needed a new helmet ASAP
Nice! I went with the gold visor. But the silver is nice too.
The gold one looks cool too, tons of good options
Where is it made? Thanks
Italy
All K6 made in China, only Pista in Italy. Shoei made in Japan.
nice bike too!
Thanks
would this work for xpod?
No idea sorry
nice!
Thanks!
Nice jacket! What jacket is it?
BILT Blaze
Just a heads up the visor does have writing on each side that says “race track daytime use only”
cool
Very
You definitely edited out how long it took you to get that iridium visor attatched haha, it took me about 10 minutes of fumbling around the first time
🤫🤣
Should ve got the nardo grey
Can't disagree, it's a great color
By the way: Very nice bike ! .-)))
Thanks!
I think its too large for you
Thanks for the thoughts, the medium was too small so I think the M/L fits perfect 👌
@@moto.obsession do you normally wear alarge/59cm+ in other helmets?
I think it's the shell that looks large. AGV models tends to have larger shells compared to other brands like Arai, HJC or Shoie.
Shoei outer shell is the most compact thus aerodynamic, AGV outer shells bigger, like many others.. more like bubble head or potato.
Hi can you see it at night?
Not very well at all with that shield so I switch to the clear one for night rides.
This looks like a downgrade from the K5 S in looks and function. I like the larger vents and chin curtain on my K5 S and the beak in front looks more aggressive.
Looks cheap af
... I tried the large size in the store - and bought then in the internet? Thumbs DOWN!
Because saving money is a bad idea 😂
@@moto.obsession Using the dealers infrastructure to make your mind up is fine, but not buying at his store? By saving just some bucks, folks like you destroy local dealers! Ever thought about that? And when the dealers are disappeared, where do you try the size of your helmet? This has sth. to do with respect. Best regards
@@stefter4549 I understand what you mean and I do buy from them regularly for other items. Their helmets were simply overpriced compared to the online options so I chose to save my money in that area to have more money for others needed things for my bike.
@@moto.obsession 👍 best regards
