New product: AGV day/night LCD helmet shield
The LCD shield changes from clear to dark in one second, and will be available internationally from April 2015AGV has launched its 'AGVisor', which utilises a liquid-crystal display (LCD) to change from clear to dark in less than one second – as already utilised by the company's highest profile exponent, Valentino Rossi.
Currently available as an accessory for AGV’s Pista GP, Corsa and GT-Veloce models, the AGVisor is powered by a small, built-in, rechargeable battery. Thanks to its ergonomic design, AGV claims the system can be easily operated while riding, even when wearing gloves.
The LCD technology also performs an anti-fog function, and "a reduced-edge design ensures that visibility is not impaired".
The AGVisor can be fully charged in two hours. When fully charged, the shield can be used in dark mode for 12 hours, and for situations when the battery’s charge has been depleted, a 'Fail Safe' system allows the visor to return to clear mode.
The AGVisor will be available internationally from April 2015.
The Australian distributor for AGV is Cassons, phone (02) 8882 1999 or email enquiries@cassons.com.au.
