Pros

Cons

1. Some users may find the helmet to be on the expensive side compared to other options in the market.
2. The high level of customization and modularity may require some extra effort to properly assemble and configure according to individual preferences.

Looking for a helmet that offers versatility and comfort? Look no further than the AGV AX9. Made with carbon aramidic fibreglass, this helmet is both lightweight and durable.

The four-density internal EPS lining provides superior protection, while the panoramic viewport offers 190° horizontal and 110° vertical vision – perfect for taking in those scenic views on your ride. Plus, with an anti-scratch visor that includes a 100% Max Vision Pinlock anti-fog insert, you won’t have to worry about visibility being compromised.

But it’s not just about protection – the AGV AX9 also prioritizes comfort. The Ritmo fabric antibacterial cheek pads feature moisture-wicking and premium comfort treatment, while the Shalimar crown pad boasts similar properties as well as an antibacterial treatment. And don’t forget about the neck roll made with Shalimar and Nabuk fabric with water-resistant treatment.

Other convenient features include adjustable chin guard vents to direct internal airflow, top air intakes with rear exhausts for improved ventilation, grooves for wearing glasses comfortably, spots for speaker installation if you want to add a communication system later on, and double D ring chin strap fastening.

At approximately 1.54kg in weight and ready for use with goggles or a generic communication system (if desired), this helmet truly has it all!
