AGV showcased its motorsport history and its technology to the world’s top motorcycle-industry specialists and journalists at the EICMA tradeshow.

In the presence of World Champion Giacomo Agostini, Dainese Group CEO Cristiano Silei took the attendees on a journey through AGV’s milestones in its motorsport heritage: from the dawn of motorcycling competitions in the late ’40s, through legendary F1 drivers to modern MotoGP heroes; from the development of the first helmet in 1947 to today’s wind-tunnel testing and advanced computer-aided designs.

Gearing up for the 70th anniversary celebrations of its 1946 founding, AGV rolled out an integrated system of product innovations in its latest-generation Extreme Standards Helmets, displayed at its EICMA booth. The new K-5 Jet and Fluid open-face helmets, introduced to the public at EICMA, are the two latest products developed following the Extreme Standards design process and complete AGV’s product range.

Strength and benefits of this integrated and revolutionary helmet-design protocol were explained in depth, showing how enhanced protection, performance and comfort work together to deliver an unprecedented level of safety. Improvements are tangible and measurable through specific standards, such as impact protection, compact design, field of vision, aerodynamics, helmet weight, ventilation and ergonomics.

Thanks to AGV Extreme Standards and to a design that substantially enhances both primary and secondary safety, riders achieve superior road awareness and performance with reduced fatigue. The AGV Extreme Standards approach raises the bar in helmet-development technology and represents a further milestone in head-safety protection systems.
