Available from Spring 2009 on, this helmet is the one worn by Valentino Rossi to celebrate the eighth title won thanks to the Motegi race in Japan. The new CELEBR-8 graphics will be produced in a limited number of pieces distributed all over the world. The helmet chosen for this limited edition will be the GP-TECH - top range AGV product - that has been designed, projected and developed with Valentino’s support. Taking the best from the previous race helmets (Ti-Tech, GP-Pro) and from the AGV racetrack experience, GP-Tech matches lightness, ventilation and comfort with an extremely innovative and aerodynamic design. This entirely made-in-Italy helmet is produced at MAVET srl, an hi-tech, ecofriendly plant, also due to the use of water paint. Valentino will use this celebrative version for all winter test 2008/ 2009.

Why Celebr 8 ?

The name of this limited edition derives from the union of “CELEBRate“ and "8", that is the number of titles won by Valentino: as a matter of fact, "Celebrate" and "CELEBR-8" have the same pronunciation. The number eight on the helmet stays together with other typical symbols of the Champion from Tavullia, as the sun and the moon and the unfailing number 46. Moreover there are the black and white squares

The helmet will be distributed in a limited edition box.
