The Pista GP Rossi Project 46: the helmet that changed everything. The very first model in the Pista GP lineage, developed entirely around Valentino Rossi's head.

Released as a limited edition in the early 2010s, the Project 46 is the technological laboratory that served as the foundation for all subsequent generations. Its raw carbon shell displays all the project's technical specifications in neon yellow: performance, weight savings, and innovations. An absolute collector's item for any connoisseur of motorcycle racing history.

Key features
The Project 46 technological shock
Developed via 3D scans of Rossi's head, it halved the impact forces transmitted to the brain and reduced the visor area exposed to debris by 71% compared to the previous GP-Tech.
Featherweight, near-zero inertia
Woven carbon structure without superfluous mechanisms: "approximately 1,250g" makes the Project 46 one of the lightest versions in the entire history of the Pista GP. The near-zero inertia can be felt from the very first curb.
Race 2 vision — 15° more upward
The optical class 1 Race 2 visor inaugurated the widened vertical field of view: 15° more upwards compared to conventional full-face helmets. In a tucked, speed-seeking position, no plastic frame obstructs the corner exit.
Aerodynamics — 44% drag reduction
The original Pista GP lineage spoiler reduces drag by 44% compared to the previous generation. At high speed, the helmet remains perfectly centered without causing fatigue to the neck muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the original Pista GP and the R and RR versions?+

The original Pista GP (Project 46) is the ancestor of the line: 4-density EPS, Race 2 visor, original compact spoiler, without hydration tube or titanium buckle. The GP R introduced the integrated hydration tube, 5-density EPS, and Biplano spoiler. The GP RR is the ultimate version, adding the titanium buckle, FIM homologation, Ultravision visor, and the full 360° Custom Fit system.

Can I install an intercom on the Pista GP?+

No. Like the entire Pista GP line, this helmet has no space for speakers. The cheek pads are ultra-firm and the fit is designed exclusively for the track. Adding headphones would create unbearable pressure points during a session.

Why is the Project 46 so light compared to the GP R and RR?+

The absence of peripheral systems that appeared in later generations — hydration tube, metal IVS vent mechanisms, titanium buckle — allows the Project 46 to weigh approximately 1,250g, compared to 1,300–1,450g for its successors. Every gram saved translates directly into reduced inertia during cornering.

Why is the teardrop shape of the chin guard so pointed?+

The very pointed chin guard and the sculpted base of the Project 46 are intended to fit precisely over the speed hump of a racing suit, without rigid contact during head movements. This is the first expression of the AGV "teardrop" design, which later evolved across all subsequent generations.
