Been a while since i saw your videos and you're looking better than ever! Thank you covering the new K1 S!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. - Van
I absolutely love this store !!!! 1 great product and people !! 2 gotta support my Michigan boys 3 fast as fu@$!!!! Definitely gonna come down to the store this winter and pick out next years gear . Pumped to have a store that I can actually do that . Thanks for all you do for the sport .
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! - Van
I just purchased this from you guys, thank you for the breakdown
You are welcome and thank you for the business. - Van
The video really looks amazing. Congratulations. 👍
Thanks for the feedback, we have a new video tech and are trying some new techniques. - Van
Not sure what video camera you upgraded to. But the quality looks amazing. 👍👍
We have a new video tech and he is making some changes. Thanks for watching! - Van
Nice lighting upgrade, looks good.
We have a new video tech and he is making some changes. Happy with what I see so far for sure. Thanks for watching. - Van
Only grip with the original I have is that velcro patch, didn't know what was annoying my head till I watched your video on the first one. Then I knew and it seemed to make worse! Lol. Few weeks back ordered a bell from y'all to replace it. I'm finally home to trying it out!
Thanks for watching, your business and for sharing your feedback. I have heard this complaint with the velcro patch a couple of times now. This is not something I have experienced with this or the previous version personally. I have only heard this complaint a couple of times which leaves me thinking this does not impact everyone (we have sold a ton of the K1 helmets) or we would have heard it a lot more. Enjoy the new helmet and thanks again. - Van
@sportbiketrackgear yes, I believe it to be very small issue with only a few affected. Maybe I'm more on the round end or maybe long rather then a truer intermediate oval? Knowing agv, if I was a largely reported issue this version would have had something different placed there. A snap or tabs that tuck, for examples.
just want to add here in Japan, the box changed from the previous K1. the new K1 S only come in in plain brown cardboard box compared to the nice matt black box of the K1. You also dont get the bigger AGV sticker now.
the AGV helmets here in Japan are 'asian fit' models. not sure if its the shell thats diffrent or the stuff inside.
hope this info helps!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback. - Van
Hey Brian, can you also do a review on the updated AGV K3 and compare it to this new K1-S?
Great review as always my brutha!
I just sent a note to the processing team to order one in. We will get this done this week. - Van
Thanks for the product review and breakdown Van! Can you help me understand the differences between the K1 and K1s? I can’t seem to find it.
With the S they no longer offer the Medium Small and Medium Large sizes. These have been replaced with just the medium and large. The S is also ECE22.06 certified. Beyond that the helmet there are no notable differences between the models. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thank you! I noticed a few design differences as well. Chin vents and rear spoiler are a bit different. I heard the shield is different? perhaps flatter for less distortion. I can't find the details on it. But yes looks like what you noted are the two biggest differences.
Love the videos? What do you recommend a Agv k1s or scorpion exo r1 air
The Scorpion EXO-R1 Air is a better helmet IMO. - Van
Great videos. How good is the visibility in tuck position on the k1s and while I have you, also the exo r420? Thanks, John
Comparing the two head to head I would say the K1S will be a little more open in a full tuck. The R420 is not bad, the K1S is just a little more open at the top. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks
Van. Did you guys review the new arai contour x? I’m trying to decide between the bell race star flex & arai contour x. But looking for Best ventilation only for upright street use only.. thank you
No, we still need to break this one down. - Van
Just wondering what do you use to display your suits in the background? What kind or type of rack? Thank you
These are some old display racks we have had for almost 20 years now. No idea where to get more. - Van
Great video! Link to the helmet on y’all website please?
Here is a link to the new K1S on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/agv-k1-helmets/ - Van
Your website say the sizes range from "S, MS, ML," *then* "ML, L, XL, and XXL." But, everywhere else it's listed as "XS, S, M" *then* "L, XL, XXL." And even in your own video you have the proper 2 shell with 3 sizes (Ea.) as shown at 1:16 . Why is that and why do you have 1 extra size that no one else has (The extra size is ONLY shown at the size chart below the listing)? Would love to pick one up but it's very confusing. Thank you in advance
AGV does a horrible job of supplying the dealer with info IMO. This is essentially the same helmet as the K1 with the exception AGV is no longer offering the Medium Small and Medium Large options indepently, replacing them with the Medium which covers both of the previous fitting from 57-58cm.
Shell break will be XS-MD and LG-XXL
Hi
Great video
I have a AGV K1S in small 56cm, could you tell me what size visor shield, GT2 / GT2-1 OR GT4-1 / GT4-2 for a pinlock shield
Thanks
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/agv-k1-s-k5-s-pinlock-ready-helmet-shield/
Hey could you possibly tell me how dark the smoke visor is for the k1s? Is your face still somewhat visible? I’m a big tint guy & like the privacy
It is as dark as any other dark smoke screen on the market. - Van
Is it possible to fit Small crown pad and cheek pad in a medium sized helmet for a more snug fit?
I expect it would fit but AGV has not offered any sizing chart for the liners. - Van
Would you recommend get it if I need a Large? It’s not a optimal size because it shares the XXL shell
Yes, the larger shell is not much bigger than the smaller one. With most brands the size large will have a little larger outer shell than a medium and under. Not a massive difference IMO. - Van
Great review of a good product. STG is one of the best channels of its type there is. 1990, before they messed with the username.
Appreciate you watching and the kind words. - Van
The Shield is not the same compared to the K1 ? It is the same on the K6S and K3S right ?
To the best of my knowledge the AGV K1 and K1 S share the same shields. - Van
I am 57cm and 56cm if i tight the measurement tape. What size do I get the small or medium? They do not have these sizes in stoke to try. Thanks!
I would go with the medium at 57cm. - Van
I have been looking online for tinted face shields and haven’t really been able to find one for the agv k1 s could I use a tinted face shield made for the agv k1 on the k1 s?
The shields from the K1 will also fit the K1S. - Van
Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/agv-k1-helmets/?_bc_fsnf=1&Product=Face+Shield
I have this weird situation going on with my new k1 where it makes this sound. The engine sounds like it’s ticking. When I look straight down at the tank it goes away and the exhaust sounds normal. Back up and it sounds super tinny and making this ticking noise.
Sounds like it’s coming from the back of the bike.
Kind of hard to explain but it’s annoying as hell. It ruins the whole sound of the bike. Never experienced anything like this from a helmet before.
To start I would try riding with the vents closed to see if this has any impact on the noise you are hearing. Next I would remove the liner and check to make sure there is no debri in any of the vents. If you see anything remove it then retest. - Van
what pinlock lens will fit this hemlet's visor?
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/agv-k1-k3-k5-helmet-pinlock-insert/
Looks like they are out of stock now. I do not see an eta for them at this time. - Van
Ordered one and has a very loud whistle to it so bad that I can’t stand it. Is this normal or is it defective?
I have not ridden in this helmet personally but do not expect a loud whistle would be normal. Make sure it fits properly (a helmet that is too loose will be noisy), there is not a vent in a weird position and the shield is adjusted properly. - Van
Can i ship an AGV helmet to your Michigan store ? I live in canada and visit Michigan for work but do not have a place to get my favourite AGV helmet shipped to in michigan. 🙂
If you order an AGV helmet from us you can pick it up here no problem. - Van
How are these helmets noise wise on the highway?
I have not ridden in this helmet but would expect some noise based on the amount of ventilation. Helmet fit has a ton of influence on noise production. Many rider who note excessive noise are riding in a helmet that fits too loosely. Make sure to use the size chart and get a proper fitting helmet that will seal around the neck roll. This goes a long way towards reducing noise while riding. - Van
I have the K1 and the most annoying part of the helmet is that velcro patch on the brow. After a few removals, the material starts stretching a slight bit but it's enough to expose the weak ass velcro and it scratches your forehead and leaves a black rub mark in its place. I can't imagine the K1 S being any different in that regard. I love the helmet, the profile, the comfort, but because of that velcro patch, I'm heading to another brand which pisses me off that I have to.
I have heard this a couple of times over the time the K1 has been on the market. That model was very popular with a ton of sales. If this was a wide spread issue that impacted everyone I feel like I would have heard it a lot more. Sorry to hear you had an issue. Perhaps you could try removing or replacing the velcro in that area and see if that corrects the issue. - Van
Reccomend a scorpion exo covert fx, even better safety for like 30 bucks more. same safety as like 700 dollar helmets for only 250.. great choice for protection at a budget
This was my issue along with the plastic strip of the neck shield wearing out when I had to wash the liner. The red tabs that clip the neck liner into place also broke free from the plastic shell and EPS over time, making it impossible for the neck liner to snap in place.
It’s a comfortable helmet with great features but with a short lifespan. I had mine for two years but it’s too worn out to be comfortable and safe to use.
@@ClaymorePvP only thing that sucks abt that helmet is the ventilation if youre in constant hot climate but otherwise i wouldve gone for that helmet as well
this or the scorpion covert fx?
The Covert FX is a new helmet that we only found out about now (due to your comment). We will need to get them added to the site and bring one in for a review. - Van
If the helmet is a size M, what size shield should I buy?
Many of these are out of stock now. You will need the GT2-1 which fits X-small through Medium. - Van
I ordered it in XS~MS size, it must be correct, right?@@sportbiketrackgear
Yo Brian, just curious as to if ya heard about Alpinestars coming out with their own Helmet, the R10? They send you one to give your thoughts on it?
I have not seen the new helmet nor have we really spoken about it. They used to be a lot more engaging when new products came out in the past. Now they just promote it themselves. - Van
Chin curtain is not easy to install. Think I broke something. XD
Sorry to hear you had an issue. - Van
Weight
3.3 lbs in a size medium. - Van
BRIAN VANN is the F'N MAN!!!!
Appreciate you! - Van
🥇🎨✨️🎯🧿
Thanks for watching! - Van
trying to sell me not review it
I would also like to encourage you to use capital letters and punctuation when you leave comments. Over the past few decades I have ridden in and owned more helmets than anyone else I know. If this does not qualify me to break down a new model why don't you shoot some videos and show us how it's done. - Van
