THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AGV
The helmet you have just purchased is the result of experience and professional know-how acquired by AGV
over many years of operation.
Ever since 1947, we have been designing and manufacturing helmets that guarantee maximum safety for the user,
always starting from the hardest test bench: sporting competitions . The many champions who over the years have
chosen AGV helmets, such as Giacomo Agostini, Franco Uncini, Wayne Rainey, Troy Corser, Loris Capirossi,
Max Biaggi e Valentino Rossi, are proof of this. Precise design, care over the choice of materials, innovative
solutions and technologies have always been part of AGV's DNA.
However, as normal everyday use of the helmet differs greatly from use during sporting competitions, we have
sought to provide a optimum comfort that offers safety and makes you feel at ease in any riding conditions.
INTENDED USE OF THE HELMET
AGV helmets are designed to guarantee adequate protection for motorcycle use.
WARNINGS
In particular, AGV helmets are not suitable for use in car racing and boat racing or other
uses . Correct use of the helmet does not exempt the user from using other protective de-
vices, whether obligatory or recommended during riding, or from complying with the rules
of the highway code.
If you have purchased a helmet that is not suitable for your intended use, return it to your
dealer.
Each helmet is provided with a type approval label which forms the declaration of con-
formity of the helmet model with the laws in force in the market for which it is intended.
The type approval label can be affixed to the retention system (regulation ECE 22-05 adopt-
ed in Europe and some other non-European States) or affixed permanently to the outside of
the helmet (United States, Argentina, Australia and others).
Do not remove or attempt to remove the type approval label from the helmet. Do not affix
type approval labels of unknown origin to the helmet. These are more than likely counter-
feit labels. It is against the law to affix counterfeit labels to helmets.
If you are in any doubt over the origin of the type approval label affixed to your helmet
contact AGV directly, and not your dealer.
TYPES OF HELMET FOR MOTORCYCLE USE
AGV helmets can be divided into four categories:
Open face or jet helmets: these guarantee greater ventilation and comfort for city use, but are not designed to
guarantee protection from impacts in the chin and face area. They may or may not be provided with a visor. Ac-
cording to regulation ECE 22-05, the type approval label has the letter "J" beside the model identification code.
Full face helmets with a protective chin guard: these are also designed to guarantee protection from impacts in
the chin area. In particular, among these, off-road helmets have been designed to be used in off-road riding. Ac-
cording to regulation ECE 22-05, the type approval label has the letter "P" beside the model identification code.
Full-face helmets with a non-protective chin guard: these are not designed to guarantee protection from impacts
in the chin area. According to regulation ECE 22-05, the type approval label has the letters "NP" beside the
model identification code.
Modular helmets: they have a chin guard that can be lifted, but according to regulation ECE 22-05, they have
only been designed to be used on road with the chin guard lifted if the type approval label has the letters "P/J"
beside the model identification code. If only the letter "P" appears they have not been designed to be used with
the chin guard lifted. The chin guard should only be lifted to make the helmet easier to put on. In any case, do
