The unique visor cleaning system that requires no chemicals
This is my third AGV and it’s transformed my rides, whether carving through country lanes or cruising motorways. This full-face helmet blends sporty flair with touring comfort, making it a versatile choice for any rider.
The build quality is exceptional—its carbon-aramid fibre shell, available in three sizes, feels robust yet weighs just 1,663 grams. Built to AGV’s Extreme Safety standards, it surpasses ECE 22.06 with a five-density EPS liner for excellent impact protection. No creaks or weak spots; it’s crafted to last.
Comfort is superb. The interior, lined with high-quality, water-repellent fabrics, includes customisable 5mm pads and cheek pads that fit snugly without pressure points. Ventilation is spot-on—the Air Diffusion Crown Pad channels air effectively, keeping me cool even on warm days. It’s quiet too, ideal for long rides without earplugs.
The matte black with red accents looks cracking—understated yet sharp, complementing any bike’s style without being OTT. It’s a proper head-turner at pit stops.
The real gem is the integrated Cardo Insyde comms system, designed specifically for the K7. It’s seamlessly built-in, IP65 waterproof, and uses DMC Mesh to connect up to 15 riders over 6 km with crisp audio and auto volume adjustment. App-controlled, it handles calls, music, and group chats effortlessly, with a 13-hour battery that’s rechargeable on the go. No bulky units—just sleek, reliable tech.
it’s a premium buy, but for safety, style, and connectivity, it’s worth every quid. Highly recommended!
I bought the Caberg as I regard the helmets as a long established brand and a leading brand when it comes to flip-front helmets. All round it is a decent helmet, comfortable for me and with average wind noise levels I would say. I liked that it came with a pinlock anti-mist insert and the visibilty from the helmet is good. The drawbacks I found were: #1 poor ventilation, I can't tell any difference between the top vent being open or closed, I found the poor ventilation problematic on my recent trip to southern France where temps were in tbe 30s. The second niggle is that I find the flip-front occasionally locks in the up position of its own accord. Annoying in that you have to pull over and remove the helmet to rectify the issue.
Really nice helmet well designed, comfortable fit and easy to use with spectacles. I like the Pinlock screen supplied for the main visor, and the sun visor works well. Noise levels are in the same range as other helmets I've had, tolerable and earplugs help.
Airflow seems good, but I've not ridden in hot weather....currently early autumn here in North Yorkshire?
In summary...great helmet, good price....very quick (overnight ) delivery.
Thanks
Great lid with a funky design- also has the anti fog visor which is a great addition
