AGV AND VALENTINO ROSSI PRESENTTHE PISTA GP R WINTER TEST 2019
Valentino Rossi just headed down to the track for the fi rst tests of
the year with the brand-new Winter Test 2019 design, which will
join the Doctor’s immense collection of AGV jewels. The Pista GP
R will showcase neon colors like yellow, for which Rossi is known,
as well as green, fuchsia and orange. The ever-present Sun and
Moon are there as well, now stylized on the front of the shell with
a thin yet visible blue line.
The Rossi/Drudi duo, who have been working together for more
than twenty years, opted for a bright, eye-catching design that
will grab attention on and off the track. The helmet’s design
showcases large overlapping brushstrokes paired with the
number 46, written in freehand script. Together, it makes for a
dynamic design that stands out from the understated Sun/Moon
version used during the last Championship.
Valentino himself stated that he is excited about the creation and
shared the inspiration behind the special livery: “As for every season’s tests, I made a special helmet for this year as well. It’s always a great experience to work on a special edition. We try to fi nd new ideas every time, but it’s not always easy. For this year’s helmet, we had a hard time making up our minds, but at some point I looked at Aldo and I asked him to do something for me — to do what we used to do, pick up a paintbrush and draw the helmet freehand, like in years past.

SEPANG, FEBRUARY 6, 2019. AGV AND VALENTINO ROSSI ARE PLEASED TO REVEAL THE WINTER TEST 2019 LIVERY CREATED FOR THE FIRST TESTS OF THE YEAR, TO BE HELD ON MALAYSIA’S SEPANG
INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT. THE BRAND-NEW DESIGN SHOWCASES SHAPES AND NEON COLORS THAT MAKE THE PISTA GP R HELMET A TRUE WORK OF ART.
PISTA GP R
ROSSI WINTER TEST 2019
The Pista GP R, an evolution of the innovative Pista GP, the
MotoGP helmet, is the most protective helmet ever to be
developed. Thanks to the introduction of Race 3 Max Pinlock®,
a Class 1 Optic visor with 100% Max Vision Pinlock® (120), and
the patented Visor Lock System (VLS) fastening, the full carbon
AGV Pista GP R helmet offers an unbeatable field of vision.
The helmet features the new PRO Spoiler which guarantees
outstanding aerodynamic performance, while comfort levels
benefit from a patented interior structure and an Integrated
Ventilation System (IVS). The Pista GP R is the first helmet to
offer a hydration system, composed of a series of ducts
and a valve located on the inside of the chin piece.
The perfect blend of protection,
performance and comfort, the Pista GP
R is the result of AGV Extreme Safety:
an innovative integrative design
protocol that has revolutionized
the planning method to combine
superior impact protection,
AGV’s exclusive Ultravision,
which guarantees 190° of
horizontal vision and 85°
of vertical vision, and an
advanced design with extreme
performance developed in
a wind tunnel to provide
unparalleled aerodynamic
efficiency. The AGV Extreme
Safety process raises the
level of technology used
during helmet R&D, setting a
milestone in the development
of protective headgear systems.
The replica helmet (2,000 limited edition pieces) will be available from September 2019 as a Pista GP R model, priced at 1,500.00 Euro (RRP, VAT included). Now available to order, refer to your trusted dealer for more details.
