AGV Corsa-R Solid Helmet: Full Face Motorbike Helmet

For track enthusiasts: This Corsa-R motorcycle helmet from AGV is engineered to be the same standard as the race professional Pista GP-R helmet, but without the carbon fibre shell. It’s inherited many features of the Pista range and benefits from MotoGP level research. The shell is a mix of carbon, aramid and fibreglass, which is equally as strong but without the price tag of 100% carbon. There’s 4 shell sizes for a precision fit and a combination of innovative technology, safety, comfort and pretty awesome graphics makes the Corsa-R a winner in our eyes!

See the track ahead: Featured is a Class Optic 1 visor with 100% Max Vision Pinlock and a tear-off kit is included in the box. AGV have increased the visor thickness from 3.5mm to 5mm making it the thickest visor on the market, designed to increase protection of the eyes and face. A new patented Visor Lock System reduces the risk of the face shield accidentally opening in case of a crash.

Ventilation and aerodynamics: AGV have developed an Integrated Ventilation System which sees 5 large front metal air vents and 2 rear extractors hollowed in the shell. A MotoGP evolved external fin structure has been engineered to capture maximum airflow in the front of the shell and increase air pressure on the rear exhaust.

Added features include: Internally, the shape of the helmet has been specifically designed to decrease the risk of collar bone impact. Externally, the shape blends aerodynamically with the hump on a race suit. The internal crown liner is reversible and has different properties in the heat or cold, so you can adapt to suit your riding conditions. The cheek pads feature the safety release system, engineered to allow the removal of the helmet without moving the spine in the case of an accident.

Verdict: AGV have poured their MotoGP research into the Corsa-R helmet, the next best thing after the Carbon Pista GP-R.
