AGV Introduces Top-End Street Helmet, The GT-Veloce
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.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
