AGV Revives the K3 Helmet with New Features and Design

Italian helmet manufacturer AGV has announced the release of its newest helmet, a revival of the popular K3 model. While AGV has not released many new products recently, the K3 has been given a fresh facelift and updated features.

The new K3 helmet features a contemporary design with a touring-esque aesthetic. It retains its sporty appeal with contoured lines on the sides and top. The air intakes at the chin bar and on the top of the helmet give it a streamlined appearance, similar to its premium sibling, the K6.

AGV has incorporated technical innovations into the K3 to improve its performance. The thermoplastic shell is available in three different sizes for a comfortable and tailored fit. The four-density EPS lining effectively absorbs and disperses impacts, while the contoured sides provide additional protection for the collarbone in case of an accident. The K3 is ECE R22.06 approved, meeting the latest safety standards.

The interior of the K3 is detachable and washable, providing an easy and hygienic experience. The helmet also has grooves designed for eyeglasses, adding to its overall convenience. Visibility is enhanced with a clear anti-scratch and anti-fog screen that offers a broad 190-degree field of vision. The XQRS system allows for quick and easy screen removal, and micro-openings provide increased ventilation when riding in the city. The visor is compatible with the Pinlock 70 anti-fog film, improving vision in wet and cold weather. Additionally, the helmet has a drop-down sun visor for sunny days.

The K3 features a chinstrap with a micrometric clasp for a secure and adjustable closure, improving convenience compared to its predecessor's double-D ring closure. It also has a splash guard to prevent water or debris from entering through the bottom. The helmet is intercom-ready, making it easy to integrate with communication systems. Weighing around 1,500 grams, the size M helmet strikes a balance between comfort and safety.

The AGV K3 is available in various fashionable colors, including white, matte black, matte green, red, matte grey, and numerous graphic options. It comes in sizes ranging from XS to XXL to accommodate riders with different head sizes. The new K3 is priced at 239.95 Euros (about $266 USD). Availability may vary by region, so visit AGV's official website or contact your local dealer for more information.
