What it actually is
Bezzecchi doesn't race in this helmet.
Let's clear that up on the first corner, because nobody else will. The K6 S is not the lid Marco Bezzecchi wears on a MotoGP grid — that job belongs to AGV's Pista GP RR, the FIM-homologated one. The K6 S is a road and sport-touring helmet that happens to wear his 2024 colours. Which sounds like a criticism until you look at what the K6 S actually is. It is one of the few helmets on the market to take five stars at SHARP — the UK government's independent crash-test programme, and the top score it awards. It weighs about 1,255 g. It comes with the Pinlock already in the box. You can fit an intercom without butchering it. So: race graphics, road engineering, and a safety rating most race replicas can't touch. That is not a compromise. That is the trade most riders should actually be making.
Five stars, and a Pinlock in the box

Every angle.
Shark teeth on the crown, the tricolore on the chin, and a shell shaped in a wind tunnel long before anyone drew on it.
The helmet you actually wear every day deserves the better safety rating. It's strange that we treat that as the consolation prize.Source: agv.com · Inter-Pace

The verdict
Two things to know before you order.
The fit runs narrow. Multiple independent reviewers describe the K6 S as a snug intermediate oval that needs breaking in, and several suggest sizing up — so if you're between sizes, or you've found AGV tight before, this is a helmet to try on rather than guess at.
And the weight is honest but optimistic: 1,255 g is the first shell size. A tester weighing a size M got 1,298 g, and MCN's large came in at 1,365 g. Still light — just not the number on the box, which is true of almost every helmet ever sold. What isn't in doubt is the SHARP result: five stars out of five, on the helmet you'd wear to work.
Sizes XS–XXL, ECE 22.06, Pinlock included. Between sizes? Read the helmet-size guide first — it matters more here than usual.
