AGV has just dropped the first helmet in their lineup to feature an integrated comm unit – and she’s lined with goodies fit to store her on the top shelf.*

For materials, the AGV Tourmodular Helmet has been christened with a unique build of carbon, aramid fiber, and fiberglass. According to AVG’s press release, this trifecta means the best lightweight feel, without compromising on rider safety.

Inside the helmet, Ritmo and Shalimar fabrics absorb moisture and sweat, and water-repellent synthetic leather has been worked for edging.*

AGV tells us that there are four adjustable air vents in the Tourmodular, with the helmet’s aerodynamic design “[minimizing] turbulence and helmet movement even at high speeds with a dynamic weight of zero at 80mph / 130 km/h, [allowing] Tourmodular to exceed P/J homologation standards even with the chin guard up.”*

Yum.*

“The AGV INSYDE intercom system was developed with Cardo and allows up to 15 riders to interact at the same time, guaranteeing network stability and optimal audio quality, up to a total distance of 6 km,” states the press release.
