Link International, the Australian distributor of AGV, has announced the release of the retro-styled X70 helmet, which replicates the helmet worn by Renzo Pasolini.

The original ‘Jet’ helmet with its aeronautical origins, hence the name, was first introduced in the 1950s, and was a significant advancement in technology and safety at the time. As part of the AGV Legends range, the Pasolini inspired ’Jet’ helmet, known as the X70, re-embodies the eternal allure of the original’s shape, with modern protection and comfort features.

The profile of the X70 is extremely compact, owing to the three shell sizes, is extremely light weight with its fibreglass construction just as the original was. This helmet features a fully removable and washable interior, double shell fastening and a double D-Ring retention system.

Plus it has a wide range of accessories available, including an array of peaks and visors, which attach via three classic press studs. The X70 holds high the banner of open face helmets, with the Pasolini replica a fitting tribute to a great champion.
