AGV K6s

Image
 Our AGV K6s review brings you my first-hand experience with AGV’s sport-touring helmet. AGV K6s stands out in a crowded field because it blends race-bred features with real-world practicality. Commuters and weekend riders demand gear that’s reliable, comfortable, and easy to live with. But does this helmet deliver what you need when it matters most? AGV K6s Has Material Carbon-Aramid Shell AGV K6s uses a carbon and aramid fibber shell. This gives this motorcycle helmet a strong but light feel. The five-density EPS liner adds more impact absorption. AGV K6s Offers Sizing Four Shell Options K6s comes in four shell sizes. I found the fit true to size, but the shape works best for a medium oval head. The range tops out at 2XL, so larger heads may not find a match. AGV K6s Features Interior Shalimar and Ritmo Fabrics The interior uses Shalimar and Ritmo fabrics, which wick away sweat. The pads are removable and washable. I liked the plush feel and how the helmet stayed dry on longer r...

Riders like me want a dual-sport helmet that handles pavement and dirt without feeling heavy or awkward.

Bilt Apex Helmet

This Bilt Apex review is for riders who want real answers about a full-face helmet that’s both affordable and safe. Riders like me look for DOT and ECE 22.06 badges, a comfortable fit, and features that make daily rides easier. This Bilt Apex review gives you my honest take on whether this helmet delivers value and protection for both new and seasoned riders. But will the Bilt Apex helmet meet your needs on the road? Bilt Apex Helmet - Material - Polycarbonate Shell Bilt apex helmet uses a tough injection-molded polycarbonate shell. This construction gives bilt helmets stability at different speeds and meets DOT and ECE 22.06 standards. I’ve seen the shell hold up in a crash, which made me trust Bilt motorcycle helmet safety. Bilt Apex Helmet - Sizing - Intermediate Oval Fit Bilt apex helmet sizing covers XS to 2XL, using two EPS sizes for a more tailored fit. The intermediate oval shape fits most riders, but I always recommend trying on a Bilt helmet in person for comfort. My own e...

How Motorcycle Helmets Reduce Noise

  Helmet Fit Improves Noise Isolation A quiet motorcycle helmet starts with the right fit. When I switched from a loose helmet to one that hugged my jaw and cheeks, the wind noise dropped right away.  Padding that seals around the neck and cheeks blocks more turbulence and keeps the ride quieter. I noticed that when my helmet fit snugly, I didn’t need to crank up my music as much. Helmet Design Affects Noise Levels The quietest helmet I’ve worn had a smooth, aerodynamic shell and a tight visor seal. The Shoei RF-1400 and Schuberth C5 both use thick neck rolls and chin curtains to keep the wind out.  I’ve seen riders on forums say that these features make a bigger difference than you’d expect. A person even said, “I could barely hear the wind even at 120” with the RF-1400. Helmets with fewer vents and less external hardware also tend to be quieter. Accessories Reduce Helmet Noise Adding a noise-reduction helmet accessory can help. I tried the Windjammer PRO Tour 2, which...

HJC designs the I91 for touring and commuting, aiming for a blend of comfort, safety, and value.

The outer shell protects against road debris and othe...

Sedici Sistema II Mips Helmet

This Sedici Sistema II Mips Helmet Review gives me a reason to dig into one of the most talked-about modular helmets this year.  Sedici combines the proven Sistema II platform with the MIPS safety system, aiming to protect riders from rotational brain injuries.  MIPS adds a new layer of defense to the already tough fiberglass and DuPont Kevlar shell, making this helmet stand out in a crowded field. Everyday riders face a choice between advanced protection and real-world value. Sedici Sistema 2 Mips aims to bridge that gap, promising high-end features at a price that won’t break the bank.  Is this the modular helmet that finally balances safety, comfort, and affordability for the modern rider? Sedici 2 receives a ground-up redesign The Sedici helmet is the new version of the outgoing Sedici helmet , which is on the table on my left-hand side.  Now, what we did is a complete ground-up redesign of this that's been in the works for about three years, and a lot of t...
