Specification

The AGV K-3 SV was developed from the experience AGV gained during the design process of the Pista GP and Corsa helmets.
Thanks to the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEM), the technical department developed a benchmark product in terms of comfort, aerodynamics and safety.
This helmet has a wide appeal and is suitable for young riders with a passion for racing as well as for more mature riders looking for comfort and high performance characteristics.
Thanks to CFD Analysis (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the special ventilation system provides maximum airflow to the head through two front and side vents, one central vent and two extractors at the back of the helmet.
The sanitized Dry-Comfort internal components can be removed for washing.


Description

The mechanism for opening and closing the visor has three custom settings according to helmet use (Touring, Race and City) and features the XQRS system for quick removal. The K-3 SV has been designed to accept the new integrated communication platform SHA


Owning a Sena 20S Evo, I was attracted to the i90 because it was configured for a Sena Bluetooth system. I figured it would be ideal compared to a standard helmet.

Pros - Good fit as always. Recesses and wire channels for speakers = easy fitting. I had to use a few pieces of electrical tape to hold wires in place as I reattached the liners over them.

Cons - The drop down visor should have been better executed.

First, the control slide is positioned in front of where the Sena system(s) would mount. This means the Sena mounts further back than it could fit on the helmet. This makes placement of the 20S Evo's boom-microphone more difficult, but I managed to make it work.

Second, the control IS NOT spring-loaded like my last HJC. There is no quick-retract mechanism...something I think should have been retained. For a "three position" visor, I don't see it. There's deployed, retracted and ... well, since there's no spring, I guess you can deploy it as much or as little as you desire.

I've been happy with HJC's quality over the years. The quirks regarding the visor mechanism is the only reason I don't give the i90 a 5-star rating.
The helmet is not light, it has good padding, the fit around the head is correct. Wind noise tolerable. Has a little hidden compartment for Bluetooth device and cutout for speakers. My eyeglasses didn't fit right in the helmet cutout for glasses. The modular is nice but the locking mechanism squeezes the cheek area in so that it becomes uncomfortable because my cheek and jaw are compressed. I brought a large helmet so I brought a new pair of cheek pads, which isn't cheap, on size larger. Still uncomfortable on the face.
Good helmet for the money
