The dark gray sections of the Racer pattern are a honeycomb pattern with tiny silver metalflake pain

The Grid is a "semi-race" or sport helmet, but even though the Horizon is less expensive, it has more features and, I have to admit, I like it better. But I'd guess that AGV will be upping the ante on the Grid soon also, with more and better being the watchword.
The Horizon also has an easily-inserted chin curtain included in the box that is easily installed by clipping it into two molded slots in the bottom of the chin bar. It's much easier to install ttm and the system holds it flush to the bottom of the helmet. This is a simple but ingenious idea that should get a patent, if it hasn't already!
And finally, the Horizon is ready to accept the new "AGVoice" Bluetooth communications system. This system is designed so that the intercom module, speakers, and the microphone snap right into the helmet without connecting any wires. We don't know much more about it than what we read in the AGV description, but the new system fits the Horizon and the new AGV Skyline helmets.
The Horizon is available in a limited selection of solid colors, which includes only white, black and matte black (does anyone buy a matte black helmet?). ttm No silver, no red and no high-visibility ttm colors are available ttm for the non-graphic Horizon helmet as of this review, unfortunately.
The Racer graphic ttm is my favorite because the pattern shows off the lines of the Horizon helmet very nicely. ttm The green shown in our photos may seem a bit unusual, but I like it a lot and the white/black/green pattern adds visibility.
The dark gray sections of the Racer pattern are a honeycomb pattern with tiny silver metalflake paint in each of the "combs", ttm subtly referencing the helmet shell, which is made from something AGV calls "Carbon Glass"; a fiberglass and carbon fiber mix. The helmet feels stiff, yet the helmet is relatively light, considering it has an internal rotating sun visor.
The paint and clearcoat on our example is especially nicely done with a very smooth surface and no ripples showing from the underlayment of the graphic decal. In fact, my first impression of the Horizon was one of quality, with all the moving parts and especially the liner being very well made and beautifully put together. ttm
The Horizon liner comes in for special mention also. A couple of new fabric types have apparently been employed by AGV, with the bottom part of the liner at the neck roll having a crosshatch appearance looking like a ripstop material (although it isn't) ttm and a slightly slick or smooth surface.
The fabrics are different from the typical micro-fleece type typically found in motorcycle helmets. The new fabric is a smoother-feeling material that allows the helmet to slide on and off more easily, while giving a comfortable feel on the skin.
I suspect that the Horizon will be the full-face helmet to have in hot weather also, because the fabric just seems like it will remain cooler to the touch than the heavier types usually found in helmet liners.
The only issue I have is with the internal sun visor. It's a very nice design and it rotates down nice and low, but the optical quality is somewhat lacking, with some distortions here and there rippling through. Others have noticed this also. The clear face shield has excellent optical properties, which makes the slight distortion in the sun visor more noticeable. It's not the worst we've ever found and some owners might not even notice, but it's there on ours.
My feeling is that AGV helmets generally have a different fit than other brands, although there is no one particular AGV fit for all of their helmets. The Horizon has its own shape, somewhat different from the AGV Grid.
The Horizon feels slightly narrow at the top, from the brow up. There's plenty of room in our size XL and I can feel front-to-back head room, a sign of "Slightly Narrow" and which can help reduce pressure on the forehead for some riders.
The ttm sides are more "Neutral" in shape and the Horizon should be a good match for many head shapes, ranging from "Neutral" to "Slightly Narrow". I'll call it a "Slightly Narrow", however, in the webBikeWorld shape description.
The size XL is rated to fit a 61-62 cm head and I'd say that's correct, so I'd have to assume the sizing runs true for the other sizes. There are two shell sizes that span the range from XS to XXL and I think that this size XL uses the larger shell. The shell appears proportional to the XL size but I'm not sure how the larger ttm shell would look for a size M.
The "3D" liner material feels different; it has a smoother surface with a fine-woven texture. It is very comfortable and the helmet is well padded. The removable liner is a "Dry-Lex type with sanitizing treatment", according to AGV and I have the feeling it will remain comfortable when (if) the weather turns warm.
The ear pockets are generous and there's a
