- Retro helmets are all the rage right now. Everyone wants a retro looking helmet that goes well with skinny jeans and boots. Though I don't have a cafe racer (I have a Harley Davidson Iron 883) I was intrigued by the retro design of the helmet. I wanted to see what AGV brand had to offer in terms of quality. I was actually quite pleased to find out what a beast of a helmet the x3000 is! Check out the video to see why I think the X3000 is the king of the cafe racer style helmets.

![AGV X3000 - Best Retro Helmet? AGV Legends [unboxing / driving test]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7TUzWQCLcwk/mqdefault.jpg)
Nice review, both my wife and I have these helmets with the iridium visor, and the helmet is super comfy, did you mention about the air slot in the visor, you can take it out and it has a secret slot in the chin to put it in.
I have a 360 camera as well, but I am not a fan of it slowly swinging around it makes viewing it a bit sickly.
Nice bike as well.
Hey Dan! Thanks for the comment! Re:360 camera yeah I've learned that it's best used like seasoning. A little goes a long way and too much can be overpowering (A lesson I didn't learn quickly enough).
I really like the AGV x3000, probably one of the more refined cafe racer influenced helmets on the market. I forgot to mention the air slot. Funny enough I tried fiddling with it while I was riding and it fell off so I just use the helmet in the summer. 😂
hello sir, is this helmet have a hole ready for speaker of intercoms?
I bought just today this helmet in matt black. I found that the visor has some different sizes, proportionally to the helmet's size: therefore it's necessary to choose the right size according with your helmet, to avoid air whistles. Then, I absolutely agree with your point about the logo. Beside the bike you ride, I prefer anonymous or blank logo and, let say, despite I'm from Italy I will cover that AGV brand. It would must be optional to show it or not. I own several Bell, Bitwell, DMD, etc. helmets, and I took off or covered every label. Also my Bobber is quite anonymous, all black, just few decals from Oldies
I had no idea. The visor I bought only came in one size...but luckily it still fits. I’m considering just painting the whole helmet in black or plastic dipping it. I don’t mind a discreet logo but the agv logo is just very loud like my Harley 😂
You can totally become the go to TH-cam guy for helmet reviews with your collection. 😂 I love that vent on the visor itself. Any whistling with that vent? And how is at highway speeds? I find all of my retro helmets feel as if they wanna fly off my head at 70mph. Also #teambighead.
I thought about it for a split second, like that could be my “thing”. My buddy wanted me to be the “guy on TH-cam who gets punched in the face while wearing a helmet” to demonstrate protection lol. No whistling, the vent goes into the shell of the helmet so I didn’t hear anything. At highway speeds it didn’t feel too aerodynamic but such is life for retro helmets. You know what they say, the bigger the head, the bigger the...brain.
IronBornRider i just want that for you so you can get them for free. Cuz damn. 😂

Hi, just wondering ... have you tried setting up an intercom on the helmet ???
No I don’t use comms at the moment.
How is that visor? I just picked this lid up, white/red ago color way and was looking into the iridium visor.
Very high quality visor, highly recommend. Just be careful to secure the rubber gasket/vent otherwise it’ll fall off at high speed. I already lost mine. 😭
One question, to 62cm XL o XXL size? Thanks
I’m a 61 and I went xxl which was really loose. If you want a snug fit I’d recommend xl, otherwise xxl
Can you put a sticker over the AGV or will it ruin the helmets saftey?
you can put a sticker over it, or even paint over it if you wanted to. It wouldn't ruin the safety aspect of the helmet.
Good review. Not a fan of the 360 video but that’s just me. Good review though 👍🏼
Appreciate it. Yeah I got excited and overdid it with the 360 camera when I first got it.
Hi! Support pinlock?
I don't believe it does, but I'd check their website to be sure.
Only one of the clear visors comes pinlock ready I think. Most of the rest of the visors are anti-fog and don't support pinlock. Revzilla, Amazon and AGV's site have the clear pinlock one available for purchase.
Shame you don’t get the Shoei Glamster in the US because even though AGV is really good Shoei is much better.
Yeah the glamster caught my eye but the agv was more available and on sale when I bought this one. I’ve never owned a shoei before but I’ve heard great things
I agree with you about the flag. I mean I respect the brand of course but it's too bulgy.
💯
