Wider field of vision +15°
The PistaGP helmet is the outcome of research into ergonomics focused on its use on the track. The upper edge and sides of the visor window have been raised to give the rider a better view of the track in front and laterally, all benefitting active safety. The field of vision is 15° wider and the total area of the visor window is 9% larger than the previous helmet, without compromising its level of protection.

G-force transmitted to the head -36%
The PistaGP helmet reduces the residual impact force transmitted to the head by 36% compared to the limit of 275 G set by ECE regulations. This result is achieved thanks to the new AGV STANDARDS design process, which optimizes the structure of the helmet, using simulation of finite elements (FEM - Finite Elements Method) and many in-house tests.
HIC index -48%
The HIC (Head Injury Criterion) index measures the level of brain trauma risk due to accelerations of impact. The AGV STANDARDS design project has achieved an HIC index that is 48% below the limit established by ECE regulations.
Visor movement area -71%
The basic visor movement area has been drastically reduced compared to the GP-Tech. This allows use of the space saved to increase the thickness of the absorption material, benefitting safety.
Visor thickness 3.3mm
The visor thickness in the visor window area (the one most potentially exposed to impact) is 3.3 millimetres, thus offering increased protection. Although it is extra thick and significantly curved, the visor is Class 1 optical standard approved, the highest class, and provides excellent vision.

Lateral section -6%, front section -3%
The PistaGP helmet has been designed, according to AGV STANDARDS principles, around the rider’s head “from the inside to the outside”. The structural components of the helmet are researched to obtain the required performances, minimizing measurements and weights. The entire helmet is lighter and more compact than the previous one while offering substantial improvements in terms of protection ergonomics and comfort.
Z-Lift -44%
The Z-lift index describes the tendency of the helmet to exert pressure on the head or to lift and “pull” the rider’s head upwards. Negative values indicate that the helmet tends to lift; zero or slightly positive values indicate that the helmet does not lift or exert too much pressure on the rider’s head, which positively influences the stability of the helmet. A helmet that tends to lift and wobble tires the rider and prevents a clear field of vision, especially at high speeds. The PistaGP helmet has been extensively tested in wind tunnels and the Z-lift has been reduced by 44% compared to the previous helmet, indicating a slightly positive value. This result has been obtained without worsening the air penetration coefficient.
Z-LIFT -44% NON +172%

Air intake area +193%
The air intakes have almost tripled in size, whereas the entire ventilation system, including the positioning and sizing of the air intakes are the result of research into computational fluid dynamics in wind tunnels. The ventilation system of the PistaGP helmet removes heat and moisture very efficiently.
The AGV STANDARDS project, that was established in 2009 with Valentino Rossi as its leading rider, is now ready to get on the track with the first PistaGP helmet.…
