A new Valentino Rossi replica helmet is now available for customers in search of MotoGP-worthy protection: the AGV Corsa Tartaruga Replica can now be yours for $899.95 (€648).
Tartaruga is Italian for “turtle” and if you look back to Valentino Rossi’s helmets, you’ll notice that almost all his designs sported a small turtle. Apparently, his mother gave him a small toy turtle when he was a boy, and he liked so much that he placed it on his helmet, so the turtle became an iconic symbol for The Doctor.
For Vale’s “home race” at Mugello, Italy last year, AGV had Drudi Performance design new helmet graphics which would have the iconic turtle as the main theme. Alongside the giant turtle, the helmet also sports Rossi’s two dogs Cesare and Cecilia, also wearing turtle shells, and cartoon representations of him chasing Dani Pedrosa, Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo.
The AGV Valentino Rossi Corsa Turtle Replica helmet comes with a Super Super Light (SSL) shell made from composite and carbon fibers armed with Kevlar, available in 4 shell sizes, the Integrated Ventilatio System, D-Dry sanitized fabric comfort fabric and breathable Lycra lining, and fully-removable, washable padding.
AVG uses scratch-proof and anti-fog 100% UV shields with XQRS (Extra Quick Release System) and roto-translation opening and metal mounts, and a double d-ring strap. This lid comes is sizes XS through XXL.
