Everything began immediately after the Second World War in 1946, when AGV started out as a manufacturer of leather seats and bicycle saddles. It was then in 1947 that the historical founder, Amisano Gino from Valenza (hence the name AGV), entered into the motorcycle helmet world; an important step which gained unprecedented commercial success. In 1969, AGV developed the first fibreglass full-faced helmet.

Since the beginning, AGV’s history has been directly linked to many of the riders who have made motorcycling history, including: Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Angel Nieto, Marco Lucchinelli, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Emerson Fittipaldi, Randy Mamola, Loris Capirossi, Max Biaggi, Valentino Rossi, and many others.

The Pista GP helmet was created in 2012 as the first of a new generation of helmets from the AGV Extreme Standards Project. This process revolutionised helmet design from the outset, with a clear aim to significantly and demonstrably improve rider protection, ergonomics and comfort.

AGV never doubted its mission to protect riders and has never wavered in its commitment to innovation, research and development, ensuring riders enjoy their passion to the full in complete safety.

From the track to the road, for the Champions of every day.”
