The AGV K6 S Slashcut is a lightweight full-face motorcycle helmet for road riding, finished in the Black, Blue and Red graphic. It combines a carbon-aramid shell with a broad field of vision, road-focused aerodynamics and a premium removable interior, making it suitable for commuting, touring and sport riding.

AGV homologates the K6 S to UN ECE 22.06. Its Extreme Safety development programme produced impact-test values below the regulatory limits, while the UK Government's SHARP programme independently awarded the K6-S five stars in June 2024.

Protection and construction

• UN ECE 22.06 approved full-face motorcycle helmet
• Five-star SHARP safety rating
• Carbon-aramid fibre outer shell
• Four outer-shell sizes for a more proportionate fit across the size range
• Five-density EPS impact liner developed in four sizes
• Collarbone-safe lower shell profile
• Double-D ring retention system
• Safety-release cheek pads to assist helmet removal after an incident
• Reflective interior details
• AGV-listed weight: 1,255 g in the first shell size

AGV states that the K6 S recorded values 36% below the ECE 22.06 limit in linear-impact testing and 65% below it in oblique-impact testing. These manufacturer figures describe homologation-test margins and are separate from the independent SHARP result.

AGV K6 S size guide

Measure around the widest part of your head, passing approximately through the midpoint of the forehead above the eyebrows. Use the measurement as a starting point and always confirm that the helmet is secure without creating pressure points.

Moto Central helmet guidance

A secure helmet fit is essential. If possible, visit Moto Central for fitting help and compare the K6 S with other full-face helmets before deciding. Head shape can matter as much as the circumference measurement.
