Valentino Rossi is a name that truly needs no introduction, as the Italian is widely considered to be one of the best motorcycle racers of all time. His dynamic riding style and colorful personality were matched only by the wide array of helmets that he donned over the course of his career, almost all of which featured the famous sun and moon (Soleluna) design that Rossi was known for.

The livery on today’s offering is known as “Elements”, a theme that AGV used on several models. In this case it features the classical elements (Earth/Fire/Wind/Water) in between rays of the sun while the moon on the rear is partially comprised of the Italian flag and is covered by Valentino’s #46. It was first released as a limited production model in other markets though it eventually became a standard model in the US.

Per Rider’s Discount: “Valentino had been riding with the same AGV GP-Tech Five Continents helmet unchanged for three seasons. So, in 2011 along with his move over to Ducati, it was high time for a new lid and Rossi Industries was happy to oblige by bringing us to the AGV GP-Tech Elements helmet. “For the rider, a helmet is also a canvas to be painted” said the Italian, and he once again trusted Aldo Drudi to come up with a new design. While there’s always going to be a few one-off helmets for certain races, you’ll probably be seeing much more of the Rossi Elements replica helmet on the MotoGP grid for a while.”
