Racing technology for £999.99. You can reserve one now by ordering from your local TeamAGV dealer. This limited edition faithfully reproduces the graphics on Valentino's race helmet except for other sponsor's logos, visor components and accessories. A very aggressive helmet that can be recognised instantly from the stands with dashes of fluorescent colours that highlight the number 46 on either side of the chin guard. The Sun and the Moon symbols on either side of the champion's head both represent good fortune and have been a constant presence since his debut in the World Championship Series.
In the most recent graphics, designed as usual by the legendary Aldo Drudi, the long rays of the Sun at the front are yellow. This is Valentino's favourite colour as it symbolises energy. The rays at the back mingle with an electric blue moon. Sunny and whimsical, like Valentino's character.
Between the colour areas, the carbon fibre mesh which makes the helmet so very light, peeks out. The Pista GP is a hyper-technological, ultralight model (M size weighs 1275g) exactly as a helmet designed for sports and track use should be. The width of the field of vision, weight and small dimensions, improved ventilation, the exclusive ergonomic design and the category leading aerodynamic characteristics set new standards of performance.
Fitted with a Double D retention system, the outer shell is made entirely of layered carbon fibre available in 4 sizes. The design is intended to cut to the minimum any interference with the racing suit and protective hump and to optimise safety even at high speed. The spoiler has been designed to detach from the helmet in the event of an accident to increase the passive safety of the helmet The visor component area has been drastically reduced and this allows the space saved to be used to increase the thickness of the impact absorption material with all the safety benefits that brings. The visor can easily be removed as can the washable inner components. To provide improved comfort, the surfaces in direct contact with the head are seamless and the fit can be optimised with special additional padding to the cheeks and back of the neck. Designed to maximise comfort, ergonomics, safety and aerodynamics.
Made in Italy and protection of the environment: the Pista GP is designed and made in Italy by highly qualified craftsmen using the very latest technology. These helmets are manufactured using the best technologies with great effort invested in protecting the environment. Waterjet technology is used to cut the carbon fibre shells, the painting system uses eco-compatible water based paints and a dust suppression/residue treatment system is in operation throughout the entire factory.
