  • The AGV Pista GP R3 features the AGV Sphera System with Release Layer System (RLS) RLS is designed to limit the rotation transmitted to the head from the very initial stages of the impact, reducing the risk of concussion by six times.
  • AGV carried out extensive wind tunnel testing, and then verified the numbers on the track thanks to MotoGP riders who actively participated in the development and refinement phases.
  • The helmet made its public debut at the 2026 San Marino Grand Prix, where it was already being worn by AGV-equipped riders.
