AERO will be presented at EICMA with a refined color palette with a matt metallic texture that revisits the brand’s great classics, to showcase their distinctive design.

In addition to all the previews and new solutions at the Dainese stand, a historical great will be returning for all its fans. Having been stolen at an event in Milan in 1988, the legendary AGV X1 Air System helmet of Niki Lauda, worn by the Formula 1 driver during the dramatic 1976 German Grand Prix, finally returns to tell his incredible story, displayed to the public at the Dainese booth at EICMA 2024.
The helmet, which is visibly damaged by the fire that broke out during the accident, illustrates the extraordinary strength of the Austrian driver, who returned to racing just 42 days later. Its iconic red graphics, with Lauda’s name printed in white, not only represents a sporting legend, it also marks a crucial moment in the evolution of on-track safety. Following an appearance at an exhibition in the United States in 1987 and some subsequent movement between Japan and Italy, Niki Lauda’s AGV X1 disappeared; it was the subject of mystery for a long time, fueling decades of speculation and myths. Dainese group, owner of the AGV brand, successfully claimed legitimate ownership, returning this precious heirloom to history and the fans. On display at EICMA 2024, this helmet will become part of the DAR – Dainese ARchivio, Dainese’s permanent exhibition in Vicenza that celebrates iconic ideas, people and items that have revolutionized safety, design and performance in the dynamic sports landscape.
Visit EICMA 2024, Milan Rho Fiera, and stop off at the Dainese booth, HALL 14 STAND E32, from November 5 to 10, for an immersive discovery of the latest innovations in apparel, safety and design for enthusiasts and motorcyclists alike.
