    AGV Sport Modular Flip-front Helmet

    Tested by: Mikko Nieminen | RRP £549.99 | www.agv.co.uk

    The flip-front helmet has traditionally been the lid of choice for tourers, riding instructors and police officers, but is shunned by many due to it typically being rather bulky and heavy. However, they have been loved by scores of everyday bikers, myself included.

    But now you can forget everything you thought you knew about flip-front helmets, because the AGV Sport Modular is rewriting the rulebook big time. The new model is compact, light, sporty, and looks very much like a racing-style full-face helmet.

    First of all, the weight. This is a full carbon fibre helmet with an official weight of 1295g, although my kitchen scales returned 1382g. Still, it is an incredibly light helmet.
