AGV AX-8 Evo Naked Road Carbon

Looking like something out of the Halo franchise, this helmet is constructed out of both Kevlar and Carbon fiber which ensures ultimate impact deflection.

We wrote about this helmet’s non-carbon counterpart earlier but it’s just so awesome that we had to add the AGV AX-8 Evo Naked Carbon version. Constructed out of carbon fiber and Kevlar, this helmet is lightweight at 3.19lbs but still super strong. It’s also the racing version of the DS Evo which means that it has had its peak removed which dramatically reduces drag while increasing aerodynamics and decreasing buffeting. It also features an integrated ventilation system that’s comprised of 3 front vents, 1 top vent and 2 extractor vents; these combined give you an incredible amount of air flow that keeps you head cool and dry while giving you plenty of fresh air.

It also comes with a flat polycarbonate, non-scratch and antifog faceshield and the interior is made from Dry-Lex that has moisture wicking properties as well as sanitizing treatment. You can remove the interior for washing. This helmet is DOT certified and looks undeniably awesome.
