AGV Motorcycle Helmets
AGV is one of the world's leading motorcycle helmet brands. An Italian legend, AGV was founded in 1947 in Valenza, Italy.
Gino Amisano (1920-2009) founded AGV. The name (AGV) comes from the initials of its founder's name and the initials of the city (Gino Amisano Valenza).
AGV started with motorcycle helmets and perfected its craft over more than 75 years. Its first helmet was a leather protector molded in wooden molds. It also had a soft inner lining to absorb impacts. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
AGV continued experimenting with different helmet materials. Fiberglass was first used in automobiles in 1949. Shortly after, in 1954, Gino Amisano used this new, lightweight, strong, and durable material in motorcycle helmets.
With a fiberglass helmet in its arsenal, AGV fully embraced motorcycle racing. Gino Amisano partnered with renowned riders of the era, such as Kenny Roberts, Barry Sheene, Johnny Cecotto, Steve Baker, Ángel Nieto, Giacomo Agostini, and Valentino Rossi. These collaborations were game-changers for the brand and earned it the invaluable trust of motorcyclists.
This brand-athlete partnership model is the same as Nike's. AGV reached another milestone of fame when Emerson Fittipaldi won an F1 race wearing an AGV helmet.
AGV manufactures a wide range of motorcycle helmets, including full-face helmets , open-face helmets , urban jet helmets , enduro helmets , motocross helmets , adventure helmets, touring helmets, and sports helmets.
