So guys, currently have an AGV K4 which is getting a bit worn.
I tried an AGV GP-Tech on in Hein Gericke a few days ago, and OMG it's got to be the most comfortable thing that has ever been on my head.
However, I came across a couple of reviews on the internet that acommented about stitching around the neck roll, visors cracking, colours fading and helmet lettering coming off. There seemed to be a few of these reviews commenting on the same issues after 4 to 18 months usage, which is quite shocking for a £500 helmet.
The difficulty is that people only write reviews everywhere when they're un happy, positive reviews are always more difficult to find.
Does anybody have an AGV GP-Tech? If so, what are you opinions of it after it has been used? How has it held up?
My K4 is still in great condition apart from where I dropped it so it's hard to believe that their top end helmet would have such a poor build quality, but it's a difficult thing to ignore when spending that much cash.
Alternatively, I've also been looking at the X-Lite X802, not had time to try this one on yet, but does anybody have any opinions on this helmet? or any comments on it's build quality?
Many thanks |
