New Rossi and Iannone helmet replicas from AGV announced

AGV has just released details of two new replicas to the range; one a Rossi winter testing replica featuring the snowman graphics and the other an Andrea Iannone replica – also from his pre-season testing regime – featuring the mashed-up seagull design.

The Rossi Winter Test design

Rossi’s design features a smiling snowman, cartoon style, complete with yellow scarf and hat featuring the Yamaha logo. Besides the number 46 on the back, the blue background of the sides of the helmet is scattered with other winter designs like snow flakes and ice crystals.

A Pista GP replica model will be available from September and will cost £899.99.

The Iannone Seagull Replica

During the three days of the winter test, the Ducati rider debuted the helmet design which is centered around last year’s Phillip Island GP, when he struck a seagull while leading the race.

The top of the helmet carries a caricature of a white seagull with a dazed expression after hitting the Italian rider’s bike. The sides and the back of the helmet show Andrea’s nickname, “The Maniac” and the Ducati brand name.

A Corsa replica model will be available from September and will cost £649.99.
