so I have been searching the internet for a tinted visor solution and came across the new AGV LCD tint of command visor. it does not transition from light to dark. u simply tap a rubber button on the left side of the helmet to go from tint to clear. its a good size rubber button so u will have no issues finding the button and pressing it with gloves on.
I like this idea better cause I want it tinted wen I want it. its instant unlike the transitions lens I had for my Bell Star. I had seen this LCD idea before but it was generic for any helmet. this is designed by AGV for AGV helmets. well, for the Pista, Corsa and the GT-Veloce. this is a well made product. no junk here. comes fully charged right out of the box. it doesn't get any darker then my transitions lens wud. if u want really dark u will have to purchase a dedicated very dark lens but I don't care for the really dark lens so this works for me personally.
so im gonna have to buy a new helmet now. the other reason I like the AGV is the reviews all state how it doesn't lift at high speeds. my Bell Star wud lift at about 110 mph really bad! felt like someone was trying to rip my head off from behind.
the AGV seems to have quite a large field of view as well. the problem I had with the transitions lens is the time it wud take to go from dark to light and light to dark. there were just many times riding I wanted tint instantly and times I wanted no tint instantly. that doesn't happen with the transitions lens but will with an on/off LCD switch.
I had bought a Shoei RF-1200 thinking Shoei was gonna release their transitions lens but it never happen so I will be selling my Shoei helmet if anyone is interested. its matt black and size Large. I never wore it. I don't have the box tho. it also has a Sena SMH-10 in it. I will create a for sale thread later tonite probably.
this visor is not available in the US yet and had to order it from a UK company. I ordered it at night. by the time I woke up it was processed and I had a DHL tracking number and arrived at my house a week later. trying to upload a short video but utube is takn forever! I will upload it as soon as its done. here are a few pics tho and the site I ordered it from.....LCD Smoke Visor for AGV Corsa / PistaGP - Champion Helmets
