AGV's K3 helmet splits the air with an aggressively styled shell. The model's drop down sun shield shields the rider's eyes from harmful rays and the Pinlock lens-equipped face shield mitigates internal fogging. AGV also packs a quick-drying interior, ample venting, and top-tier protection into the sleek and affordable package.

🤔 In my opinion:
1. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but safety is in the eyes of the wise! SHARP Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5.
2. The Cardo Spirit Comm System fit perfectly in this helmet!
3. Adjusted properly, I didn’t feel any discomfort with the ratcheting chin strap.
4. The airflow and sweat absorption is fantastic.
5. No matter the helmet and safety rating, wear top quality earplugs!
6. Wind noise was very tolerable at 75+ mph. (earplugs)
7. My only gripe is with the outrageous prices for additional visors for this helmet. 👍
Watching while holding my new agv K3 its a jewel !!
I have been using the new K3 for a couple weeks now and mostly like it. I wish I could sinch the chin strap a little tighter but I can't figure out how to tighten up the loops. Not a huge deal though. The main issue is the chin curtain connections to the helmet are very bad. There is a 100% chance I will have to buy replacement chin curtains at some point. It took me like 10 minutes just to get the middle curtain snap into the helmet. The two on the side go in a lot easier but also pop out a little when putting the helmet on and taking it off.
I like the new colors it comes in
The slightly rounder fit of the K3 is what sold me on it when trying on dozens of helmets.
I have the K3 SV Rossi Dreamtime and it is still absolutely awesome! 👍🏾
Does it block out wind?
@@withoutcorpsee I do experience some wind noise at speed, but it’s tolerable. I wear earplugs that block out the harmful noise but I can still listen to audio (music, gps, phone etc) clearly. No matter how safe, comfortable and the brand of helmet, excellent quality earplugs is the key in my opinion. Stay safe! 👍😎
I feel the same way about that locking system. I would want this helmet if it had a double d ring
Wow this is my 5th helmet after 6 years of riding and it's the first one that ever fit me like a glove (I still need to ride in it of course). It took me 6 years to figure out that I'm a blend of round in the back/intermediate in the front. I literally have an egg head. I just dropped almsot $900 on a cool Arai helmet that I kind of regret now. Oh well. I just wish AGV stuck with the egg head fit on some of their more premium helmets.
Glad you found a solid fitment. FWIW - most Arai's do have removable foam to adjust the interior fitment of the top liner if that helps with your $900 purchase as well.
Are the visors between the helmets still interchangeable or will we need to wait for updated visors as well?
Thank you for the comprehensive explanation.
Besg wishes from Germany 😉
Killer helmet, aggressive helmet. Advertising only used in USA.
Love my k3sv. Fits more comfortably than my rpha70
Is the lining same with the old k3sv?
Being a new rider the helmet is fantastic! I was wondering what visor will fit for this new k3? Does it work it K3 SV visors?

Tried the K1S, NXR2(RF-1400), K6S. None of them fit me well and its getting annoying and ill try this one next. The Shoei and K6S were so nice but didnt fit well, my nose was on the nose guard with K6S i could also kiss the front of the helmet and my ears were too forward in the Shoei. All of them started to hurt on the sides of my head after an hour. Please helmet brands make rounder helmets its so hard to find rounder helmets especially outside of US and Europe. I have the budget but cant get a good helmet simply because they dont fit. I will try this one but not a big fan of the looks, weight(dont care about sun visor), and the ratchet system (it digs into my throat)
Sounds like you should check out Arai. AGV runs a bit narrow and long oval, Shoei is intermediate but your pressure points indicate needing a round oval which this K3 will not be. Arai has a few options that should fit your head though.
how good it it compared to K1s?
old size k3 sv s/m was perfect for my noggin. sizing wasnt confusing at all.
yeah i feel you i was wearing my k3 sv with ms (57) and now k3 m (57-58) feels large compred to the sv so i tried s (55-56) on k3 and i have to admit it fits very vell feels like ms
@@altinel.98 cool, good to know. 3 of my helmets are small, 2 others in medium. suppose it comes down to head shape and fit.
yeah thats true every model has its own sizing
One thing with mine is that the locking mechanisim at the botten doesn't hold it down very well. The plastic tab is just to short. Is this the way its suppossed to be? Looks like it might flip up if riding fast and the wind catches it. My only complaint about the helmet. Also, i have the white one, which looks amazing. It's kind of a pearlesant colour.
Yes, a kind of glitter effect. 🙂
Are the visors interchangeable between the the two?
is this intercom ready?
Yeah, you can install comm systems into the K3.
Is this worth the extra money over say the HJC c10?
ECE 22.06 vs just DOT approved. Head safety is #1
The c10 is ece 22.06 in europe@@jackramos3605
Well shit just bought this to replace the old one and the comments are terrible
Rule #2 of internet shopping: stop reading all reviews and comments on a product *immediately* once you've purchased the product. Wait for it to come and just enjoy it.
How's the helmet been treating you? People who enjoy a product go out and use it, people who don't go online and write about it.
Which one better HJC I71 or AGV k3?
HJC i71 is only dot approved. I wouldn't trust it with my head safety
im in the same boat rn what did you end up getting?
A fan of the Pryor sv and it was great. This new helment is trash compared to the the old model. I will be looking for anther helment instead.
Very nice 👌 🎉
I’ve been wearing a K3SV in XL and ordered this new version as an upgrade, but it was a massive disappointment in terms of sizing, I’m returning it.
the new XL has a bigger shell size than the old XL, but the new L is substantially tighter than the old XL. basically if you wore an XL K3SV, neither the new L or XL K3 will fit you, one is too tight, the other one is too big with a comically huge shell size. great job AGV.
Anyone know why my K3 came with a spoiler and double D rings?
Mine too, im wondering 😂
Why aren't they using mips in any of their helmets?
AGV is able to hit the rotational requirements of ECE 22.06 with their EPS's natural slip to the liner, and FIM (even more stringent) with the Pista's design. We'd hope they offer a MIPS option in the future but some brands shy away from that since you have to pay MIPS for the luxury of using it. But, we agree that an AGV MIPS option would be awesome to see in the near future.
@@RevZilla That was informative. thnks.
I can't believe that, this is the Italian design. It's way back for more than 10 years and look soooo ugly. It doesn't have any beauty and any harmony on it. The ugliest part is the front grills. So AGV 's designs start going downhill then? I'll never lay my eyes on this one for sure, even though I'm quite a big fan of AGV, coz I have K1, K3SV, K5, K6, AX8 EVO, Corsa and 6 Pista GP RR. So disappointed. :( :(
yep your a fan alright🍻
It's a helmet, why are you getting emotional?
AGV K3 has always been advertised as a round oval helmet??? now it isn't?? WHAT THE HELL!!
Cyclegear, Revzilla, you guys have a responsibility to do something about this. The severe lack of options for people with round heads is absolutely ridiculous, and now there's one less option on the market??
Please, you are the only ones with the market power to make a change. Considering you have a monopoly on motorcycle gear in the US you have a responsability to do something about this.
We have the ability to shop by Round Oval through our site - www.revzilla.com/round-oval-motorcycle-helmets - but apart from suggesting to brands that they offer more Round Oval options, there isn't much we can do. Brands make the internal fit to match sales and customer feedback. So the lack of options in the US leans more towards the reflection in sales year after year rather than our recommendations or opinions on the matter. There still are a few options from each brand out there with a Round Oval fitment, but given that a majority of the US market is looking for Intermediate Oval fits, brands seem to be reflecting that in their offerings. If you want some more options that would work for you (or options of lids that you can customize to change the interior fitment like the new Schuberths), feel free to reach out to our Customer Service teams. We have trained riders there to help find other options for you.
God the new K3 looks awful, if you would slap Nolan logo on it I would totally believe it. I'm guessing it's going to be international standard. Not like the K3SV where it has Euro & Asian market, where Asian looks cooler with added spoiler. And looking at that crown pad, it looked exactly like Nolan systems.
Agree
i like my (very loud) nolan n80-6 50th aniversary helmet. but i like my agv k3 sv avior helmet (lime, white, black) helmet with blue iridium visor more. people often ask if the agv helmet has a custom paint job, its a bit rare this helmet. agv k3sv for the win.
don't buy it then
Now it's the same as N6-06
I have a k3Sv and won't buy the new one, they ruined the sporty shape that it had. Can't believe that it's an agv helmet :(
it looks like a cheap CHINESE helmet omg cant believe its Italian
Second?
Thermoplastic is bloody terrible...
Why?
@@jondotcom8706 it shatters into little pieces
@@jeebus6675 err not really. Maybe a walmart brand
Dont buy this helmet. I bought the philip rossi 2005 edition. The noise reduction is 0, anti fog is 0, comfort ..maybe 5 out of 10. This helmet is the worst
Yeah, probably won't be swapping my K6... 🤭
The K6 is an entirely different price range. Horrible comparison.
Why would you downgrade anyway?
First?
