Hands up if you’re a fan of Valentino Rossi! Well lets face it, who isn’t a fan on the charismatic and hugely talented man they call The Doctor? The nine-times World Champion (six of these titles obtained from the elite Moto GP class) is rightly so the poster boy for motorbike racing and we really wouldn’t want it any other way would we!
However at the age of 34 you have got wonder how many more seasons this incredible rider can compete at the highest level especially when he is competing week in, week out against the younger, faster riders such as Lorenzo, Marquez and Pedrosa. But he is certainly in the mix for the 2013 season and it is great to see him back on his beloved Yamaha where he rightly belongs.
And with this fact in mind, AGV helmets have released some fantastic lids as part of the AGV K3 range that pay fantastic tribute to Rossi. The awesome graphics such Rossi Icon and Rossi 46 are new releases for 2013 which slot in nicely alongside the pre-existing models of Rossi Gothic 46 Black, Rossi Dreamtime, Rossi 5 Continents and Rossi Chicken.
Not only are these helmets an absolute visual delight, but as they are made by AGV they are of course ultra safe and extremely comfortable for everyday use. The shell of the AGV K3 helmet is made from high resistant thermoplastic which ensures toughness, strength and stiffness and has lead to the AGV K3 being awarded four out of five stars in the S.H.A.R.P safety test.
The ventilation system used on the K3 has twin front ram air intake vents, and an aerodynamic rear spoiler/extractor. There are also vents on the side to aid extraction of warm air from around the face area, and a large chin vent to aid visor de-misting.
The lining fitted to the AGV K3 (both cheekpads and head lining) is fully removable and washable and are made from Dri-Lex which has excellent wicking properties to keep the rider comfortable and dry, even in the extreme conditions. The linings are also treated with a hygienic antibacterial coating for prolonged freshness and comfort.
With a clear anti-scratch and anti-fog Street 8 visor fitted as standard, the XQRS (Extra Quick Release System) on the K3 enables the visor to be easily changed without tools within a matter of seconds. Therefore if you want to fit maybe a tint or irridium visor on your new helmet this is not an issue at all.
But the best bit about this excellent helmet has to be in my opinion the price. With a usual and more than reasonable RRP of only £174.99, as part of AGV’s Join The Team Scheme 2013, you can now own a Rossi replica helmet that not only looks good, but ultimately offers excellent protection for ONLY £129.99 (that more than 25% discount!) And not only that, for a limited period only, you will also be entitled to a FREE GIFT courtesy of AGV helmets.
As mentioned, this fantastic offer of 25% off selected AGV helmets and a free gift is only available for a limited period of time so order your new AGV motorcycle helmet today!
