RidersDiscount Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Every year at Mugello, Valentino Rossi sports a new helmet designed by friend and artist Aldo Drudi. The 2017 edition is a must-have for any Rossi fan. The AGV Pista GP R Mugello 2017 graphic features Rossi as a soccer player saying "Shall I chip..." in Italian on the top of the helmet. This and "One captain…there is only one captain!" on the back of the helmet are tributes to retired Italian soccer legend and Rossi's friend Francesco Totti. The sides of the helmet pay tribute to MotoGP Champion Nicky Hayden with "469" - Rossi's number 46 blended into the 69 of Hayden. On the front of the helmet below the chin vent is Rossi's signature. Developed with the help of Valentino Rossi and other professional motorcycle racers, the Pista GP R is the top race helmet made by AGV. Both lightweight and durable, this helmet offers professional, race-quality protection. The shell of the Pista GP R is made entirely out of durable carbon fiber. A special Visor Lock System (VLS) prevents the visor from accidentally opening in the case of a crash. To unlock the visor, you simply push a button. This helmet includes a class optic 1 visor with 100% Max Vision Pinlock 120 anti-fog technology that is tear-off ready. A tear-off kit is also included. The ventilation system built into this helmet is top of the line with 5 large front metal air vents and 2 rear extractors, allowing cool air to enter the helmet and hot air to exit the back. Working along with the external vents is the Integrated Ventilation System (IVS). The IVS consists of hollowed out air ducts and vents that direct air to flow to the rider's head. The new "Biplano" spoiler on the Pista GP R has multiple wings for better aerodynamics and stability. New and exclusive to the Pista GP R is AGV's integrated hydration system. Included is a Camelbak Big Bite Valve. The hydration system is removable if you prefer not to use it. The cheek pads and liner have sanitized antibacterial protection, as well as "2Dry" moisture wicking and Microsense treatment. Small, removable disks help to shape the interior specifically to each rider's head. The interior is completely removable and washable.

what Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Good tribute to Nicky. As a designer I can say that's cleverly put together. Good going Drudi/Rossi. For 69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
