What’s new in the AGV K7?

Ventilation and aerodynamics
AGV has designed the K7’s visor with a streamlined angle that reduces air turbulence at high speeds. The helmet incorporates an advanced ventilation system with front, top, and rear vents to optimize airflow and prevent fogging. The interior features removable and washable liners made from hypoallergenic fabrics.
