AGV Debuts Two New Helmets

AGV has announced
the debut of two new motorcycle helmets, aimed at motocross racers
and street riders alike.
The new AGV AX-8 and AX-8 Dual offer protection for two distinctly
different types of riders. The AX-8 is the basic helmet that will
be suitable for riders primarily focused on motorcycle competition.
AGV claims that it designed the helmet using input from a host of
famous racers, including Travis Pastrana and Davi Millsaps. A
carbon-fiber frame offers superior protection, while still allowing
for the comfort that top racers desire.
Of the two, the AX-8 Dual is the more versatile, offering three
separate configurations. The base version, featuring a peak on the
top, closely approximates the AX-8. However, a removable visor can
be added for riders who want to take their bike on the trail, and
the peak can also be detached for those looking to do some street
riding.
Both helmets also feature a Dry-lex internal padding that is both
removable and washable. Front air vents located near the chin can
also be removed, allowing riders to customize their experience.
The helmets are in motorcycle stores now, with the AX-8 retailing
for $379.95 and the AX-8 Dual at $399.95.
