What happens if you drop it?

SysKnight · 08-11-2014, 04:35 PM

Nuviz I think will be a better product/solution. I can pick the helmet I want and attach it like a sena.

Same here. And not just because of my odd-shaped head.

pretty sweet I bet I could afford the sticker for my helmet

I was not expecting such a high price tag .. $1k maybe but 1300-1500 crazy ... great gadget but unless I hit the lotto this will be a "man that would be nice to have". Also pay now ... and not receive until may 2015 -- if they go belly up bye bye money.

I'm waiting for a helmet that will feed me delicious chicken fried steak as I ride

cuong-nutz · 08-12-2014, 02:18 PM

Isn't Challen suppose to be one of the beta testers?

Japawhat02 · 08-12-2014, 03:06 PM

Some of these idiots can barely focus on riding. let alone a GPS back up camera and their GF at them for being out riding lol

staysa01 · 08-13-2014, 04:02 AM

$1500 to not have to turn my head to look behind me, and I don't have to clip a GPS to my handlebars... If this doesn't have SHOEI quality, I don't see this being a terribly useful product, granted it is cool as . Reminds me of the iPad.

Doing a little looking, I don't see any mention about the primary function of a helmet: protecting your f*cking head.

The last thing I want or care about when I'm riding is to know who is trying to call me. Anything worth talking about is worth pullinh over for. Call me old school but I use my GPS like a paper map. I prefer to have the route in my head not on the tiny screen on my bars. The weather thing might be cool, but really the only info truly useful is rpm and gear indicator. Just my opinion though. For 15 grand, it better have a built in AC as well.

Yup who needs a a Aerodynamic, Sturdy. Get the more in your face display helmet! Gimmick!!!

eranical · 08-13-2014, 11:53 PM

As much as it's a cool idea, that's a tad too much money for a helmet I may not use since 2xl is the largest size & my big noggin needs at the least 1 more x..

I would wait to see the quality of the helmet first.

Notice the shield connection system on the hinge. They appear to be the same type used on Chinese made Speed and Strength helmets. SS helmets aren't great quality.

Good point... because it's highly unlikely they are making the shell and stuffin' in-house.

I do think there are good applications for this on the street and am interested in it myself for things like turn-by-turn directions, but like cell phones, I'm sure a lot of riders are going to let it be a distraction.

Would be more interested if it had all the capabilities of Google Glass.

Just wear your Google Glass under your helmet of choice...
