GT-Veloce Brings Racing Features to Sport-Touring Helmets
. By Bikeland Staff
Adapting its racing technology to the road, AGV has broken fresh terrain with the new GT-Veloce, a top-end street helmet boasting the same shell and features as the company’s track-focused Pista GP and Corsa models. Through the elimination of the rear spoiler found on those award-winning helmets, the GT-Veloce has a more rounded profile that is appropriate for a more upright riding position, but its race-bred roots guarantee absolute performance in terms of safety, light weight, aerodynamics and ventilation. The GT-Veloce was developed following AGV Extreme Standards, an exacting process that incorporates Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and wind-tunnel testing. Thanks to a tunable comfort liner with extra padding and optimized density of the inner components, the helmet is comfortable and quiet for long days in the saddle.
