AGV PISTA GP - Watch Before You Buy

While we can all agree, this helmet isn't a mechanically "one size fits all" item. We should also accept the fact that everyone does not have A LOT a disposable income.

Intro song??

I just brought a Pista, but only because it was half price 😁

I almost bought one now. Thanks I am not buying one. It's looks very aerodynamic and it looks amazing but I don't like wind noise.

The pista looks great, but all I’ve heard is how terrible the helmet is. I’ll stick with arai half the price great look if you don’t mind the egg shape and one of the most trusted helmets out there🤷🏼‍♂️no reason to pay double for just the looks unless you got it like that. But I’ll say again the pista looks so go

The best helmet 😍

Where did you get the visor bro?

Excellent video. Right on point.

Damn you was killing it bro. Great review. I love the look and design, I have 4 myself. But yes, super noisy.

The idea of the gp rr is a full race bred helmet they are FIM approved it’s obviously meant for people riding at the highest level it’s just like someone buying a lambo over a m5 and it’s usually recommend to ride with earplugs

I had the same issues with the speakers, I ended up using earbuds so it’s doubled as earplugs and speakers.

No your bike is noisy!!!

So with the earplugs it’s much better?

What kind of Bluetooth headset do you recommend getting for the pista?

I’ve got a shoei and a recent Rossi Pista. The Shoei feels more comfortable to wear than the Pista. The Pista head shape is a bit more round than the Shoei. I don’t really like the Pista visor lock system. You have to push a button at the center to unlock it. Always fiddling with it… And yes.. it’s loud…. Bought earplugs because you just can’t wear the helmet without them. The Pista really looks awesome… I prefer the Rossi or Mir ones. Been thinking about getting the new Rossi Assen or the 2022 soleluna. The damn things get more expensive with every new design they release. Latest ones are €1800 euros… you get 2 MM93 Shoei for that money…🤷‍♂️…

I own a Pista GP RR, an Arai Corsair X, HJC RPHA 11 Pro, shoei x14 and x15. The agv pista is HANDS DOWN the worst of the group. I’ll be honest, the X14/15 is at the top of game when it comes to ventilation, aerodynamics, features and comfort. The only thing the agv slightly edges it out on is looks. And it’s slight. I mean even small things like the visor having multiple detents so you can prop it open in multiple positions is clutch. The pista is only open or closed. Then the pista has vents but you cant open and close them as you see fit, you have to insert plugs. Kinda sucks when you’re riding and it gets chilly or starts to rain. Weird for a $1200+ helmet. If this is a top of the line RACE helmet why do you see nothing but Shoei X15, Arai Corsair X, Suomy, and X-Lite with racers at the Isle of Man TT. Makes you wonder

Man I really want to get this helmet but I wouldn’t like the wind noise

Which color visor is that one you have? And also is that the glossy carbon?

I allways wear earplugs. I also play in a band an d cant live without them .

we often ride the whole day long tours and my head would be destroyed if i have all the windnoise all day

Lets face it, people who buy Pista only buy it to make sure they look as "cool" as possible on a motorcycle, that's the ONLY reason to buy that helmet at $1800, you're basically a woman at this point flashing your expensive purse.

Love love the look of the AGV Pistas. My 2 go to brands are Shoei and Arai . But always when I go looking for another helmet I always put the AGV on and test them out. But like you said it’s a very loud helmet. I ride a R1 and it’s fkn loud plus I use ear plugs with my sena lol

Well doesn't matter still the best helmet on the market

You need to use IEMs (earbuds) with this helmet instead of speakers. They'll just replace the earplugs and you'll have the audio quality you never imagined it's possible in a helmet.
I use custom molded IEMs with my cardo Cardo, but any universal fit IEMs will do. The only downside is that you'll have to either tuck the wire under your jacket or to get a very short one.

Good tip, very good to know. I can not decide between AGV or X-lite

Take a look at the Scorpion R1 carbon. It is quieter, has speaker pockets, and is almost as light as the AGV. And, it's about half the price! I was a long-time Shoei guy until I tried on the R1 carbon. LCC in Liberty keeps them in stock.

U kno what’s funny, I thought ur name was KC 😂 Kansas City Kansas…wow I’m a stoner. No speaker spot? Naaa nexttt lol. Still watched the vid tho! Check out some my last vids bro making progress with views finally

💦pista so sex

Is the S1000rr engine reliable for riding nonstop for 2 hours 😊

I’m gonna buy one eventually.

I have never found a helmet that does not require earplugs to ride a race bike.

I'm pro shoei but also pro get the best fit u possibly can for your melon I agree 100 ear buds dig in causing discomfort on long rides currently want a Cardo but torn between need and want here

well it is a track helmet so its not meant for street use

great content and opinion. Brutal honesty, always win no matter how you slice it!

Have you tried to use the ear buds in your ear with helmet on

I put a motoloot cover over my carbon helmet. I get looks like crazy. How could you do that bro? Its my Fuggin helmet.

My LS2 has the front latch
