DescriptionThe whole story▼
ECE 22.06 certified and weighing just 1,255 g, the AGV K6 S in gloss black holds its title as the world's lightest road-homologated full-face helmet — and it does so without the faintest compromise on protection, aerodynamics or long-haul comfort. Built from a carbon-aramid composite shell and validated against the most rigorous safety standard in motorcycle helmets today, this is the choice for riders who refuse to choose between weight savings and genuine security.
Key Features
- ECE 22.06 homologated — the current gold standard in road helmet certification, engineered to exceed minimum requirements by a significant margin
- Carbon-aramid composite shell in four shell sizes with a five-density EPS liner, delivering precise, tuned impact absorption across the entire size range
- Pinlock MaxVision 120 anti-fog insert included as standard — optical Class 1 clarity, scratch-resistant visor with a 190° horizontal and 85° vertical field of vision
- Double-D ring fastening — the same closure system trusted on the race circuit, providing a secure and tamper-evident fit
- AGV ARK (Sena) Bluetooth communication system ready, with dedicated housing and included AGV adapter for the K6 S
- DrySpeed premium moisture-wicking lining with Shalimar inner shell and water-repellent neck roll — removable, washable and antibacterial
Safety First: Shell, Liner and Certification
The K6 S was designed with MotoGP technology at its core. The carbon-aramid composite construction — sometimes listed as carbon-aramid-fibre composite — achieves a shell that is both extraordinarily light and exceptionally rigid. AGV produces the shell in four discrete sizes rather than stretching a single mould, meaning the EPS liner geometry is optimised specifically for each head circumference. The five-density EPS configuration directs energy away from the skull in a structured sequence on impact, a philosophy borrowed directly from AGV's racing programme.
Safety details extend beyond the shell: a clavicle protection profile is integrated into the chin bar area, and reflective elements improve low-light conspicuity. The double-D ring closure leaves no ambiguity — the helmet stays on in the event of a crash, regardless of the forces involved.
Aerodynamics and Ventilation
Wind-tunnel refinement is visible in every curve of the K6 S silhouette. An integrated rear spoiler stabilises the helmet at higher speeds and reduces neck fatigue on long motorway runs, while the shell geometry suits both a tucked sport riding position and a more upright touring posture. Five forward-facing vents and one large rear exhaust outlet create active airflow through the EPS and across the liner, keeping the rider cool on demanding sport roads and in urban stop-start traffic alike.
Visor System
The scratch-resistant, optical Class 1 visor ships with the Pinlock MaxVision 120 insert already in the box — no separate purchase required. The panoramic aperture of 190° horizontal and 85° vertical is among the widest available in any road helmet. A patented quick-release mechanism allows tool-free visor swaps in seconds, and a micro-opening position lets the visor breathe at low speed without admitting rain. The visor locks closed for track days or fast road use.
Comfort and Everyday Usability
The DrySpeed inner lining transfers perspiration away from the skin immediately, while the Shalimar fabric against the shell provides a smooth, soft contact surface. Both the cheek pads and the full liner are removable and machine washable. The fit accommodates spectacle wearers thanks to dedicated channels along the temple area, and an emergency cheek-pad removal system allows first responders rapid access should it ever be needed. A nose guard and wind deflector are included in the box.
Fitment and Compatibility
The AGV K6 S Gloss Black (SKU 2118395001009) is a road-homologated full-face helmet suitable for street, touring, daily commuting and fast sporting road use. It is compatible with the AGV ARK communication system powered by Sena. Use the size guide below to select the correct shell.
