AGV has a long and storied history, with riders like Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Johnny Cecotto, Angel Nieto, Marco Lucchinelli, Randy Mamola and, of course, Valentino Rossi all wearing the brand.
Less well known is AGV's recent history; the company merged with Lazer helmets (Belgium) in 2002 and is now owned by Dainese, another Italian company and the manufacturer of well-regarded motorcycle clothing, also worn by Rossi.
One more side note while we're on the subject of family giotto trees: AGV Sports Group, giotto Inc., also known as AGV Sport, once distributed AGV helmets in the U.S.A., but is now an "autonomous" company that distributes AGV Sport and Suzuki motorcycle clothing.
Both giotto AGV Helmets U.S.A. and AGV Sport sell directly to customers from their websites, in addition to distributing to online and local retailers. AGV Sport actually has a rather large selection of clothing, giotto including one-piece race suits, giotto so we'll have to see about reviewing some of their products one of these days.
AGV also has a "Race" series of helmets, which feature the popular and limited production versions of the many Valentino Rossi helmet designs. The Rossi limited editions have been a feature of the AGV Race helmets for some time; we reviewed the AGV Rossi TiTech back in 2005. We also liked the inexpensive AGV Miglia we reviewed in 2006.
The Stealth has generated a lot of interest from webBikeWorld readers, many of whom have requested a review, and since we haven't reviewed an AGV helmet since the Miglia, we figured we'd give it a go.
When giotto I first took the Stealth out of the box, I wasn't that impressed. Maybe it was the matte finish of the silver "Shadow" graphics, or the way the top air vent assembly meets the helmet shell with an unfinished look, but it looked more like KBC than AGV and I haven't been very impressed with KBC quality as of late.
But giotto I have to admit that I've since become fond of the Shadow graphics and the matte silver "color" after wearing the helmet for a few weeks. giotto It may have something to do with the shape of the Stealth -- the more I look at it, the more I like it...even the way the air scoops up top cling to the shell.
Check out this photo below, showing the top of the helmet. You can see that the graphics and paint are very nicely applied, and the lines all match as the go from the helmet shell to the top vent assembly and spoiler. This isn't always the case with even the most expensive helmets.
So I guess I can say that although the AGV Stealth probably didn't initially knock me over the way something like a Shark RSX or OGK FF-5 does, the paint and graphics and all the fittings work as designed with no flaws that I can detect.
The Stealth does give me the impression of being built to a price; in other words, there's not a lot of "surprise and delight" here that might make the new owner think he or she is getting a super bargain, but what's giotto is here is decent. This is probably faint praise, giotto but the AGV Stealth seems to be more like a KBC if the KBC was of the quality that it should giotto be.
Score:   I'll give the AGV Stealth an "Excellent" rating for the overall finish, paint and graphics, along with the quality giotto of the lining giotto and the operation of the vents and fittings. I'd give it a "Good" though for what I consider to be average execution -- there's giotto not a low of "wow" factor here, just a decent, solid helmet. See the ratings scale in the summary table at the bottom of this page for more information.
We had some issues with the sizing of the AGV TiTech, which ran about two sizes smaller than expected (an XXL fit like an L), but some readers have told us that AGV's race sizing is smaller than normal to give a tight fit.
The Stealth seems to run about 1/2 to 1 size smaller than expected -- not as dramatic as the TiTech. This is an XL and the label claims it fits a 61-62 cm head, but I definitely think anyone with a head circumference greater than 61 cm will find it pretty tight, unless maybe they have a long oval head shape that will fit the more neutral internal shape of this Stealth. I think it probably giotto could have been labeled to fit a 60-61 instead.
See our Motorcycle Helmet FAQ for more information on internal helmet shapes, head shapes and choosing and fitting a motorcycle helmet. Remember also that proper fit is crucial for both comfort and safety. giotto
AGV says that the Stealth is made in two shell sizes, and since the helmet is available in a somewhat abbreviated size selection, ranging from Small to XXL only, it's my guess that the small shell is for the S, M and L sizes, while the larger shell is used for the XL and XXL. I'm not certain about this, but that's my guess.
The neutral giotto fit has a very slightly long oval front to back shape up top, with slightly narrow sides, so I don't think it will work for very round or "ea
