This dualsport can be worn in no less than four different configurations and then it’s clear that the term 'dualsport' actually falls short here. The AGV AX9 motorcycle helmet is a fine and versatile piece of technology. With Italian style and flair.
A new standard even, according to some. The outer shell is a combination of carbon, aramid and glass fiber: strong and light (all three, yes) and everything you can expect from a modern motorcycle helmet. With three helmet shells to include all helmet sizes and four different sizes of EPS inner shells, AGV guarantees just about the perfect fit at the lowest weight. Fully equipped - visor and sun visor included - the AX9 tips the scales at 1600 grams.
However, you don't have to use that configuration. Peak and visor (1), peak without visor (2), without peak but with visor (3) and without peak or visor (4), we arrive at four different configurations. If you add a pair of cross goggles, we count at least six. That's more than the national football team has mastered. Whether it's north, south, left, right, in winter, through mud or on asphalt, the AGV AX9 adapts.
The transparent visor is of course anti-scratch and Pinlock® ready. The 100% Max Vision Pinlock® lens is included. Spectacle-wearers need not worry: AGV makes a point of making the field of vision as large as possible. There is the often-used micro-opening system that allows a little crack. Special attention was paid to the aerodynamics of the sun peak: You don't want to 'sail', you want to ride.
A dual-sport or all-road is often used in more intense circumstances, where 'air' is indispensable. That's why ventilation is at a high level: the chin guard offers more space and the big air vent in the front is one that you can easily open and provide with a filter. That's what we call customizing. A double top ventilation is closable and offers a healthy air flow when open. This leads us seamlessly to the well-thought-out interior, which is moisture-wicking and ends in a detailed, water-resistant neck rim. Removable, washable, ventilated and fitted with a communication system, it doesn't get much more complete than this.
The Double-D ring buckle is one you can count on. Adjustable and equipped with a soft finish.
The AGV AX9 is a very complete, very versatile and very strong dual sport. A top motorcycle helmet.
For maintenance of this helmet we recommend S100 helmet and visor cleaner for the outside. For cleaning the interior, without removing it, you can use S100 helmet interior cleaner. New visors have received a water-repellent treatment. This treatment is less effective after some time. Restore the water-repellent effect with Rain-X anti-rain spray.
Safety above all! Never ride with a scratched or dull visor. Especially at night, scratches cause blinding reflections from street lights and headlights of oncoming vehicles. In rainy weather this effect is even more pronounced. It is best to replace a scratched or dull visor as soon as possible. Planning a longer trip? Then don't forget to bring a replacement visor with you. Never ride in the dark with a tinted visor.
