Rossi. Agostini. Sheene. When riders think of AGV, those names likely come to mind. Founded by Amisano Gino in Valenza, Italy, in 1947, AGV (Amisano Gino Valenza) started sponsoring Grand Prix greats like Giacomo Agostini and Angel Nieto in 1956. The arrival of the brand’s first fiberglass shell aided those ambitious ventures, and AGV has been pushing the performance boundaries ever since.
From shell construction to shell shape, from aerodynamics to airflow, that GP ideology still informs the firm’s lineup today. AGV’s race-ready Pista GP RR and Corsa R bring the firm’s MotoGP-derived technologies to track rats and club racers around the world, but most riders prefer something slightly more casual for the road. That’s where AGV’s K Series steps in.
