The AGV Pista GP RR is the street replica of AGV's racing helmet: carbon fibre, ECE 22.06 and FIM approval, and an RRP of €1,430 to €1,815. It is built for the track and sport bikes; for everyday riding it is noisy and expensive. This review is based on AGV's official specs and third-party measurements, which we cite.
Replaced by the Pista GP R3. AGV unveiled its successor, which debuted in MotoGP on 11 September 2026 at Misano. AGV has not announced a European price. In the US it is expected in the first quarter of 2027 at around $1,700 to $1,800. More in our EICMA 2026 guide.
Price: €1,430 to €1,815
The official RRP ranges from €1,430 to €1,815 depending on finish (AGV Spain, October 2026). It sits in the highest tier of the market.
Carbon, ECE 22.06 + FIM and 1,450 g
The shell is 100% carbon fibre, made in 4 sizes, with a 5-density EPS. It is ECE 22.06 and FIM approved; AGV says it exceeds the requirements of both. It weighs about 1,450 g in the smaller shells.
Aerodynamics and noise
- Built for a tucked position: the wedge chin bar, Pro spoiler and ventilation channels are designed for a racing crouch. Champion Helmets puts it this way: the ventilation works when tucked in tight at high speed.
- Noise: in Champion Helmets' test at 130 km/h it measured 107 dB (very high, and at a higher speed than the other figures on this site), far more than a road full-face. AGV includes earplugs in the box.
- Hydration: it comes with the MotoGP hydration system, which connects to the water bag in the suit's hump.
Visor
The Race 3 visor (Ultravision technology) is optical class 1 and up to 5 mm thick. AGV quotes a field of view of 190° horizontal and 85° vertical, designed to see the end of the straight while tucked behind the screen. It is Pinlock and tear-off ready.
Ventilation and interior
The top intakes are closed with covers supplied in the box, not with a slider; the chin intakes do have a slider on the inside. The 360° Adaptive Fit interior adjusts at the crown, cheeks and neck with 17 different thicknesses.
Pros and cons
- Pros: FIM-approved carbon shell, very wide field of view, 5 mm visor and a highly adjustable interior.
- Cons: the price, 107 dB at 130 km/h and top intakes that have to be opened or closed with covers before you set off.
Verdict
If you do track days or ride a sport bike tucked in, the Pista GP RR is among the best you can buy. For the city or touring, the noise and the riding position it is designed for work against it: a road full-face will suit you better for far less money. Before buying, bear in mind its successor, the Pista GP R3, has already been unveiled.
Score: 9.8/10 for track use | 6.5/10 for urban/touring use
