AGV Pista GP RR Carbon Iridium Helmet - The Most Beautiful Carbon Fiber Helmet Ever Made

- The AGV Pista GP RR Carbon Iridium is the top of the line race helmet offered by AGV. The Pista GP RR is the same helmet worn by Dainese/AGV sponsored riders in MotoGP. Stunning in every angle, the Pista GP RR is an aggressive helmet made for riding in the tuck position. This helmet is ultra lightweight, flows tons of air (when moving), and is extremely stable at high speed. It’s just at home on a racetrack.
Now every AGV Pista GP RR is made of carbon fiber. This includes the replica helmets, and other colors made by AGV. But exposed carbon fiber is a thing of beauty to some, especially me. I love seeing the weave of the carbon fiber. The quality of construction on AGV’s Pista GP RR’s are second to none. And while I’m a huge fan of replica helmets, I prefer the timeless look of the exposed carbon varieties that AGV makes for this model.
I don’t want to sound like I’m taking in cliches or hyperbole, but this is the most gorgeous helmet you will ever see. It is unbelievable just how incredibly beautiful this AGV Pista GP RR Carbon Iridium helmet is in person. I love carbon fiber helmets, and own a few. This particular one is the best looking I’ve ever owned. Period.
The Carbon Iridium sparkles in the light, showing hues of purple/green from each angle. This helmet just exudes elegance. The level of quality is unparalleled. The Pista GP RR Carbon Iridium looks like something special, and that’s because it is. It’s dope AF and simultaneously it just looks absolutely sinister and gorgeous. It’s really hard to equate to words just how good this helmet looks.
If you are looking for a track day, or club racing helmet, be sure to check out the AGV Pista GP RR. If you love carbon fiber helmets as much as I do, you need to check out the Carbon Iridium color in the flesh. You won’t be disappointed.
2020 was a crappy year for everyone. But riding a motorcycle is a fun way to remain socially distant. Just remember to wear the proper gear to protect yourself. And while protecting yourself, be sure to throw in some style.
The AGV Pista GP RR Carbon Iridium has a certain je ne sais quoi. A level of pizzazz, luxury, and quality unlike anything else on the market today. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
Here’s to 2021, and getting back to the track. I can’t wait to wear this lid when I do. Please be sure to check this one from AGV out, it’s a keeper.
As always, stay fresh. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I bought this helmet recently and the camera really does not do it justice, its crazy in person
Have the Anniversario, AGV don't Disappoint
Can hear the sheer joy in your voice, if i hadn’t just brought a helmet i would a million percent get this, what a beautiful helmet, work of f•••ing art
I have always been in love with arai RX-7V, they have some nice designs and they are very safe. BUT this helmet blew my mind! I don't care that it is much more expensive than the RX7V I just have to have it. It's just beautiful wow wow wow
Awesome helmet! I use this strictly for the street lol. It looks so good I made it my daily driver helmet for work commute.
JUST got mine dammmn it's beautiful
I've got a brand new 1290 Super Duke R an with a completely naked bike with no wind protection. I need a helmet that cuts through the wind. Anything over 80 mph my Aria is smashing my face. That's by far the sickest carbon helmet I've seen thanks for the video I'M GONNA BUY ONE!! 🤙🏼
I bought this helmet because of this video. AGV should start paying you royalties!
Great video 👍🏼
Great helmet! I like the color 👍
Have a good one
Thank you, you too as well.
Ordered it last night can’t wait to see it in person
Congratulations! You definitely won’t be disappointed!
i was struggling deciding between this and the regular glossy. the iridium is def sick.. but i decided to get the original glossy because i preferred the slightly warmer tones whereas the iridium is more blue/purple colder tint. i typically mount gold visors and my bike is red as well.
Should of got the red carbon🔥
I love this damn thing.. wow need one to go with my Diavel matte black 2021 1260s
Hi bro after I saw your vid for almost 10 times finally I got it 🤣
Thanks for sharing bro i love it 🥳
same lol
Does it have the "anti fog" little opening available? Just a strip of opened visor?
That is awesome, my wife wants this helmet so bad. unfortunately wont be available for me to buy until February, It looks amazing. I own the AGV Pista RR Performance, and the X-lite 803RS ultra carbon. But this Iridium by far looks way way way better because of that color change. I cant for it. Awesome content man. Love your reviews .
Thank you for the kind words. Can always do it as a Valentines Day gift if you gotta wait until February.
sick helmet but i heard that the agv helmets the shelds don’t stay open? any truth???
@@jeremydicenzo6898 this is true that the visor really only works fully open/closed. It doesn’t stay in a slightly open position. This isn’t really an issue on track. For everyday use, which this helmet is a bit overkill for anyway, it could be an issue. My Arai Corsair X helmets I can adjust the visor to be open a little bit for better ventilation while riding. Same thing with my Shoei X-14 helmets as well, I can open the visor slightly for better ventilation.
@@CountGreffi thanks buddy i have 3 suomy helmets i want to buy suomy sr gp carbon glossy but i don’t know whats going on with suomy if there not coming to the usa no more but they don’t even have a release date just keep “saying coming soon” my next option was agv
*Beautiful, I wouldn't even want the AGV labels on there.*
the most glamour agv pista gprr of all time. the only one GLAMOUR AERODYNAMIC helmet
So dope I thought their anniversary gold helmet was their best Looking helmet until I saw this congratulation.
The Forged Carbon they made is the best of all time
@@shawnlack1527 - Yeah I check that out you’re right it is a beautiful helmet.
@@shawnlack1527 I’ve never seen this helmet. Can you be more specific so I can search it ?
@@neosmusix9117 agv pista gp rr futuro
@@shawnlack1527 agv pista gprr forged carbon cool, but agv pista gprr iridium carbon the most glamour agv pista gprr of all time
Oh my !!!! That’s fucking sick !!!! What bike do you ride ? I imagine that cost more than some motorcycles! Drop dead gorgeous!!
I have a couple of bikes, all of which cost more than this helmet. But you are correct, it is a pricey lid.
Buying 2! One for me and one for my best friend.
lucky best friend :)
I bought this and wear it on the regular for everyday use. Love it. 🤙🏻
How's it wearing everyday??
I know it's track oriented helmet?
Is it good for daily commute?
How about the wind noise?
@@B1n4ryXpl0it don’t expect the wind noise to be any good. You have to wear ear plugs cause its around 107db on the highway. But honestly its so sick i’ll probably end up buying one tbh
@@mr.smirnoff4317
haha truly and thank you.
I was considering on moving to the AGV Corsa R and then modifying the helmet with the Real Twill carbon fiber and iridium finish to look the same as this crazy helmet.
I really love the shade of this helmet - Iridium Carbon finish 🔥
Stepped down for this Pista GP RR cause
1) it's a track only helmet, and might not be suitable for daily use although some use it for daily commute (need to wear earplugs always) and 2) the visor has only two lock positions, fully open and fully closed.
Can't open it half way through like other helmets (since it's a track oriented helmet) 3) the vents can't be opened and closed like other helmets which is kind of useful and can be switched back and forth whenever needed... whereas in this helmet it's a rubber kind of thing which we can remove... Usually people remove it, but during monsoon, the water would get in since it's open...and having it on the helmet is also a problem, since we might loose one.
@@B1n4ryXpl0it i think it has 3 locking positions if i remember correctly from another vid. Fully open & closed and also one where its almost closed but a tiny bit open if that makes any sense? ( my english is not the best sorry😅 ) but i do agree that the vents are a bit annoying if you can only have them open or closed by the rubber things you have to take off and on. a buddy of mine has one i think he has the GP RR glossy carbon and he loves it. always commutes to work with it since he doesn’t even own a car lol. His only complaint is the noise but now he always wears ear plugs and its fine now. I hope they make the corsa R in this iridium finish that would be perfect!
@@mr.smirnoff4317 Yes, the almost closed position is available for the Corsa R as well... Yup the Iridium Carbon finish would have looked good on the Corsa R as well. Corsa R is a good helmet which can be used for both track and street...One good thing which I've found is that the rear spoiler of the Pista GP R fits Corsa R as well... And the visor too.
Since Corsa R can be used for the street, I guess it can eliminate the wind noise to some extent...even the shell construction is different!
I also bought it. Siiiick
Is this the visor it comes with, or did you have to buy the dark smoke on it ?
This thing is pretty overkill for just street use but it looks so good.
Very very true. But it’s the best looking helmet on the market imo
@@gangsta_pigeon8023 well...I bought one anyway
How is it overkill? It offers the best form of protection for your head. Surely on street use where there is a danger of getting hit by cars and other vehicles it’s worth it?
@@willroberts2773 For street use, less expensive helmets will be equally safe. I have an arai corsair x, 6d ats 1r and the pista as well, all helmets are great. Pista is expensive cos of materials, race specific features, aero, etc
@@SoulReaper599xx how the noise I’ve heard it’s very very loud and u can’t hear music while riding
I want one!
I got this helemt a little while back, really like it. I use it for my super quad lol
😂
getting it now GOD BLESS
What about sizing compared to Shoei? I got a xl rf1200 and it seems a bit loose. Should I go for the large?
My head has a 58cm circumference. In Shoei (and Arai) helmets I’m a size Medium. In this AGV, I’m a size MS (Medium Small) which is the size that corresponds to my head circumference on AGV’s sizing chart. Just measure your head, and use that as a guide with the manufacturer sizing chart. You definitely don’t want your helmet to be loose. So if your Shoei in size XL is loose, look into changing the pads for a better fit. Or perhaps you’ll know for next time to size down. Definitely want a snug fit.
@@CountGreffi i am 58.5 cm and i can not fit into the M-S. Its to tight and hurt my forehead. M-L was a better fit. U can costumize with pads to fit. We all have different head shapes.
Just bought one and watching this before it comes in lol
I’m sure you’re really gonna like it.
Really want this helmet but like you said it overkill for street but damn what a beautiful helmet. I might pull the trigger even just for daily street riding due to have beautiful it is.
Rather be overkill then anything. It’s safer than about anything out there.
@@razy7609 I ended up buying it
@@CultivatedBunny because you knew I was going to make this comment, smart guy. Time traveler
Man. I am debating this or the gold ono they recently released
hey bro, can you mount communication devices on it?
I haven’t tried actually. I have a Cardo Pack Talk, but it isn’t installed in this helmet. I’m sure one could fit, although it is very snug inside the helmet.
does it come with any extra visors?
I believe a light smoked visor. I’d just confirm.
Does it come with the darker visor?
Yes, this helmet includes a clear & tinted visor.
What's it like cracking it open to let a little air in?
The lid doesn’t stay open ajar a bit to just vent air. It’s either full open, or fully closed.
Honestly can we use this on the street? Do not do many track days I love this damn helmet and it’s looks one of the nicest on the market
Of course, you could wear this on the road. It is just a very aggressive helmet, made for the tuck position, with a snug fit. Though fit and comfort are subjective.
I personally find it to be better suited for the track over the street, and I believe there are better street options.
It’s a stunning looking helmet though, albeit an expensive one. I’m sure it would look boss AF with your Ducati.
@@CountGreffi yeah man that is what I am thinking F it going to place the order will add to my new collection ..😜🤪
will the color/fade disappear more and more over the years?
I’m not sure. I will say that some fluorescent colored helmets come with a warning that says the fluorescent color will fade over time with sun exposure. I don’t know if this helmet will fade over time though.
Do you have plan to cover it with some coating liquid or something?
I actually didn’t think about putting any coating on the helmet. I would assume you mean some sort of ceramic or protective coating. I don’t think I would do that, in fear of damaging the helmet. I have so many helmets, I don’t wear each one that often where it would get scratched up anyway.
@@CountGreffi The finish on these is very tough and comparable to a polyurethane auto finish. Ceramic is a great idea on any helmet. I do all mine. Not only does it help it look great gloss-wise, but more importantly protects the original finish by having a "sacrificial" layer over it. Removal of bugs and other road gunk is much easier as well.
@@CCH7540 thanks for that bit of advice, much appreciated. I can take a look into doing it for some of my more pricier/collectible helmets. 🙏🏻
Over £1000 for a lid. It's beautiful but as you said it's deffo not for the streets. Sub £500 lid will do me for now.
😍😍😍
How is the fit and sizing?
I wear a size medium in Arai & Shoei, in this helmet I wear a size MS. My head circumference is 58cm, and using AGV’s sizing chart it said to go with the MS. Fit is perfect, definitely wouldn’t want to size up as this should fit snugly.
@@CountGreffi thanks for the quick response. I’m trying to put an order for one of this beauty before the sales price is gone. Although agv is not shipping the iridium until January or February. Most stores in the US either they don’t have the gp rr or they don’t have the size to try on. So thanks a lot man. Btw the iridium is far more beautiful than the speciale and the 70th anniversary editions. I’m with you on not wanting to see another guy wearing this same helmet.😂
What is that size sir ?
I wear a MS (Medium Small) in the AGV. My head has a 58cm circumference, so just went off their sizing chart.
Is this helmet snell approved ?
It has a ECE rating that is higher than SNELL. This helmet is also FIM approved for use in MotoGP. So it’s made for and accepted at race tracks.
On the fence... matte carbon or this one??
This one for sure
@@CountGreffi which visor would go best, blue or red visor?
@@Taste_Budz between the two, blue. But I would go with the iridium visor or even a dark black instead. Just my two cents.
@@CountGreffi you mean the silver iridium? It already comes with a dark smoke apparently
@@Taste_Budz no, I mean the “rainbow” color. Revzilla has it labeled as the “rainbow” color. I personally use that one or the dark tinted with it.
Looks like a power ranger
Lol the logo
How much bro ?
It retails in the United States for $1,499.95
Can you use this as your everyday
I personally wouldn’t, for a few reasons. Firstly, you can’t close all the vents on the helmet. This means it’s not for colder weather, which I would want in an everyday lid. Second thing, it’s not as comfortable to wear all day as an Arai Corsair X or Shoei X-14. But that’s just my opinion, and you may find it’s suitable for you. I just have so many helmets in my collection, I choose to not wear it as a daily. Hope that helps.
Used Gpr for yr's you'll know when to Rock something else ".
Yeah man we get.... But review the helmet .. feel, wind noise, weight, wind buffering...
That’s all subjective and relative to speed. At speed this thing cuts through the air perfectly, and you don’t feel it. But the helmet is loud inside due to the air flow. It’s a track helmet, it’s not for a long 4 hour jaunt. It’s perfect for riding 30 mins at the track, then taking it off and putting it on a fan to dry it out between sessions.
Just bought it for street, to cool not to wear on the street!
What do you mean you haven't put it on? How could you not put it on and then stare at yourself in the mirror while opening and closing the visor?
I meant exactly that, and actually I’ve yet to wear it out riding. Just waiting for the weather to be right. I have tried it on though.
But because I have other AGV Pista GP RR’s, I knew how it would fit.
Is this the chameleon?
The iridescent paint on this changes with every angle of the sunlight. It’s gorgeous in person, the whole helmet shines when outside in the light.
Sorry I’ve got the futuro RR and that is AGVs most beautiful helmet…
We can agree to disagree. I do like the Futuro, but I’m not a fan of the blue vents on that helmet. Though I really like the blue visor it comes with. I also prefer the symmetrical design of the carbon weave on the Iridium helmet better. Provides a cleaner look, which is not as loud. I have plenty of “loud” helmets, sometimes I like it more subtle.
Just got this helmet in the mail a couple days ago. I'm not impressed with the way it looks. I thought it was gonna look better than it does. It's kinda bland and boring. Needs some color to it. Glossy black carbon, Winter test 2018 and 19 are all better looking helmets in my opinion...
It's like a girl talking about her favorite crocodile berkin.
I'm more a fan of the Kelly bag myself.
you need to push that little stupid button to be able to open the visor ? Why should the helmet wanne waste my time for that ?? waiting for answers before I order this shit- thx
Yes, you need to press that button in to open the visor. The visor is locked into place when shut, so it’s a more secure closure.
You can’t really ride around with the visor slightly ajar to vent air. It’s either full open, or full closed.
