Dainese and AGV Made Ultra Fancy Gear for This Ultra Fancy Superbike
Would you still hit the track with gear this rare and fancy?
A day or so ago, RideApart executive editor Jonathon Klein went full nerd on the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago in a story which you should definitely check out. But now let’s talk about the stuff that comes with the bike, because in true Italian fashion, MV didn’t just stop at building a ridiculously beautiful machine that costs around $80,000.
They had to throw in some equally outrageous gear, just to make sure your garage flex was complete. And first up is the Dainese Demone GP 3X leather suit.
Now technically, this thing is MotoGP-level racewear—kangaroo leather, titanium plates on the shoulders and knees, and the latest D-air Racing Shield 3X airbag system built right in. It’s even got Dainese’s signature pentaxial back panel, so it moves with you like a second skin.
Each one is custom-made, based on a personal fitting session at a Dainese store, and styled to channel Agostini’s racing leathers—but with your name on the back, of course.
Because subtlety is overrated.
Then there’s the AGV Pista GP RR helmet, which is the very same model used by top-tier MotoGP riders. Full carbon shell, race-spec aerodynamics, a Pro Spoiler that could double as a wind tunnel test piece, and a crystal-clear optical class 1 visor. The exclusive edition for the Superveloce 1000 Ago? Decked out in a modern remix of Ago’s tricolore colors, complete with exposed carbon fiber details. It screams “track weapon,” but also “please don’t ever scratch me.”
Sure, both the suit and helmet are absolutely functional—you could take them to the track and feel like a racing god. But let’s be honest. Who’s actually going to thrash an $80K motorcycle and wear this kind of unicorn gear in anger? More likely, it’s getting wheeled out for high-end bike nights, tucked inside climate-controlled display rooms, or maybe worn during the occasional “look what I’ve got” cruise to your local Cars & Coffee at your favorite cafe that sells $20 lattes.
So yes, it’s all real, race-ready kit. But in practice? It’s high-octane fashion for the ultra-exclusive set. And honestly, that might be the most MV Agusta thing ever. Because, hey—Motorcycle Art, remember?
