AGV has been a trusted name in motocross gear for quite some time. Manufacturing gear that meets or even exceeds professional standards, their helmets can be trusted to withstand the rigorous use and abuse seen in motocross and off-road racing. Their 2012 helmets live up to these same standards, and some models even add a little bit of flair and aesthetic appeal.

For those of you who are looking for a single toned, solid color scheme, the AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo is the choice for you. With the option of leaving them blank or customizing them with stickers or a custom paint job, this helmet truly can adapt to fit any racing attire. The AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo is available in either white or black.

Another helmet available in solid colors is the AGV 2012 X-8 Dual Sport Evo. Similar in appearance to the basic Evo, the Dual Sport Evo is available in three different sizes and your choice of three different colors: white, black, or grey. The AGV 2012 X-8 Dual Sport Evo also features extra padding to increase comfort, and a newly shaped chin area that is meant to absorb any impacts.

The AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Klassic helmet is another good choice for riders who like to maintain a simple, low-key appearance. With a classic retro feel, the helmet truly lives up to its name. Available in black and red or red, white, and blue, the helmet features bright colors and a large AGV logo on the back.

If you want a simple helmet in a color different from black, white, or grey, the AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Flagstars might be the right helmet for you. It is available in three different two-tone color schemes: blue and white, red and white, or grey and black. The AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Flagstars helmet is also available in three different sizes.

If it's celebrity endorsements you are after, AGV has you covered with the AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Rossi 5 Continents helmet. Named after Valentino Rossi, one of the sport's most accomplished and versatile racers, the helmet features a colorful design with the sun on the front and a moon in the back. Rossi's own riding number, #46, is also emblazoned on the back. The AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Rossi 5 Continents helmet is available in five different sizes, ranging from Small to 2X Large, so it accommodates most riders.

The most colorful helmet in the AX-8 Evo line is the AGV 2012 AX-8 Evo Hypno helmet. With brightly colored geometric patterns covering the surface, this helmet is bound to put your competitors in a trance.

Pulling away from their AX-8 Evo line are two entries in the AGV 2012 MT-X line: the Evolution and Karma helmets. The AGV 2012 MT-X Evolution sports a futuristic look that is available in a color scheme of white and silver, white and orange, white and red, or white and blue. The AGV 2012 MT-X Karma provides one of the company's most interesting designs to date, with various patterns, shapes, and colors.
