View Full Version : AGV S4 or KBC VR2 akay58 December 3rd, 2007, 04:12 PM Mga Bro's, advice naman.... sa mga expert sa helmet.... kc mag -oorder ako ng helmet kay sir df22.... AGV S4 or KBC Vr2? hizonfire December 3rd, 2007, 04:46 PM ahh!!! who would not want a stealthy-finished AGV..?? it's AGV,, you can never go wrong. Icon December 3rd, 2007, 05:16 PM Ive owned both Brands before.... My preference, Id choose an KBC, or better yet, ICON. If youre getting it from Bro DF22, order either brands. Why? Replacement parts & Accessories like Sheilds even pads are readily available.... The AGV, i had a hard time finding it here just for the Shield. I had to scout it out in the US pa. Hassle.... act2000 December 3rd, 2007, 09:29 PM how much is agv s4 and kbc? pepe1275 December 3rd, 2007, 10:19 PM Sir Akay, I personally have an AGV S4 and a KBC Force RR which I think is close enough to a VR2. As for helmet built I would go for the AGV plastic parts are way better than a KBC the lens for the AGV would have a more positive click when closed. For weight I would also go for the AGV but with the VR2 probably they would be the same. For noise to me AGV is way quieter than the KBC, it is almost as quiet as my Shoei RF 1000 but does not fog up easily. Lens removal KBC is alot like a Shoei and an HJC when removing its lens and an AGV is a B*=$%!!! to remove. Replacement parts KBC is alot easier and cheaper to replace... to sum it up, i'll go with the AGV better in almost all aspects and for the looks it would really look good for a naked bike.=) BTW, my KBC is an XL which has almost the same fit as a large AGV, Shoei and HJC. KBC runs a little bit smaller. anthonyjcrocks December 3rd, 2007, 11:20 PM Ive owned both Brands before.... My preference, Id choose an KBC, or better yet, ICON.

The AGV, i had a hard time finding it here just for the Shield. I had to scout it out in the US pa. Hassle.... I think in choosing a helmet, I would not put the availablity of parts as a priority. If the AGV shows a better build in plastics and lens. If the AGV is more comfortable to wear and has less wind noise. I would still get the AGV even though replacements are scarce... Wills_McLaren December 5th, 2007, 12:47 PM But the price of AGV is higher than KBC. NSCB December 5th, 2007, 01:30 PM @akay... i would suggest that you try and fit them both...our heads are not of the same shape and sizes...both helmet are good, even better some other brands....get one which is more comfortable for you..... i haven't had a chance to own an AGV helmet yet...but my KBC VR2 is comparable to my previous helmets...Arai Signet & Shoei GRV (i sold both helmets when i sold my first bike...) akay58 December 5th, 2007, 03:14 PM bro's, parehas lang ba ang sizes ng shoei sa kbc or agv? kc sa Shoei RFR small size lang ako ... ewan ko lang sa AGV & KBC.. hindi kc rounded ang head ko. Icon December 5th, 2007, 03:57 PM KBC pa rin.... NSCB December 5th, 2007, 04:03 PM @akay theoretically...they should be....but because models vary in shape...minsan di nagkakapareho...so far "M" fits me just fine....except for Zeus 2000 series helmets...masikip ang "M" sa akin thats why i chose "L" so the best way talaga is to fit the helmet before you buy it..... Wills_McLaren December 5th, 2007, 04:07 PM pag galing ng US ang AGV ay mas masikip sya. Large ng AGV fits like a medium in HJC sold here in PH. Mas simple ang design ng S4 at mas maganda ang graphics ng VR2. Pero hindi Snell certified ang S4 while Snell naman ang VR2. Icon December 5th, 2007, 04:18 PM Mas simple ang design ng S4 at mas maganda ang graphics ng VR2. Pero hindi SNELL Certified ang S4 while SNELL naman ang VR2. Very Important..... Thankx for pointing it out.:clap: MAXIMINO 200 December 5th, 2007, 04:19 PM Sir newbie lang po,anong country po made ang orig na AGV helmets ? Wills_McLaren December 5th, 2007, 04:37 PM Sir newbie lang po,anong country po made ang orig na AGV helmets ? ITALY, pero may mga factory din yan sa ibang country like indonesia yata. MAXIMINO 200 December 5th, 2007, 04:41 PM ITALY, pero may mga factory din yan sa ibang country like indonesia yata. Salamat po sir. ~* tHinKX *~ December 5th, 2007, 05:50 PM KBC forever! :D :D act2000 December 5th, 2007, 07:03 PM pag galing ng US ang AGV ay mas masikip sya.

Both kbc and AGV s4 helmet are snell certified. act2000 December 5th, 2007, 07:05 PM Ive owned both Brands before.... My preference, Id choose an KBC, or better yet, ICON.

Wills_McLaren December 5th, 2007, 08:56 PM Both kbc and AGV s4 helmet are snell certified. I dont know if the AGV website has some mistake but it says only DOT and BSI. I've seen an actual S4 and did not see any Snell tag nor sticker in the back. I might be wrong though.

My friend will bring me a stealth early next year, I just ordered last week. supermanster December 5th, 2007, 09:37 PM yung KBC ko malinaw nakalagay sa likod DOTS SNAILS certificados :evil: pepe1275 December 5th, 2007, 10:13 PM AGV is BSI and ECE certified which has stricter standards than SNELL. My AGV S4 is made in China but the built quality is waaay better than my KBC Force RR. |
