AGV gets real with the Pista GP
AGV has upped their game with the new AGV PistaGP. They used a freakin' lazer to scan Valentino Rossi's head and designed the helmet from the inside out around the resulting 3d model, unlike the traditional method of creating the outer shell first then going inside. The new visor mechanism is minuscule at 71% smaller than before. And then there's the shape: small, lean and reptilian, it looks ...

Arai Corsair V RC: F1 tech for motorcycles
The Arai Corsair V RC shares its method of carbon fiber shell construction with the $5,095 GP-6 RC Formula One car racing helmet. That means, like the GP-6, it takes 22 man hours to make a single helmet. With a shape and vents modeled after the Arai Corsair V and, presumably, a much lighter weight, the RC would become, in our opinion, the most desirable bike helmet on the market, if Arai decides t...
