Bluetooth integrated half-helmet Introduced earlier this year, Sena Technologies says its new DOT approved ‘Cavalry’ half-helmet is a ‘step change’ in motorcycle audio and communications. Rather than a helmet that can accept a Bluetooth system, the ‘Cavalry’ comes fully equipped with Bluetooth 4.1 technology integrated into the helmet to meet the connectivity needs of those motorcycle riders who prefer an alternate to riding with a full- face shell. Described by Sena as an “all-in-one helmet and Bluetooth communicator,” riders can hook up their phone, answer calls, listen to music and even hear GPS navigation instructions clearly and use the built- in half-helmet Bluetooth intercom to talk with up to four other riders up to 900 meters (1,000 yards) away. With up to 10 hours talk time, the ‘Cavalry’ Retro 43 Swedish suspension specialist Öhlins offers a 43 mm conventional universal fork for any custom bike builder who wants to give the bike “supreme suspension performance.” Featuring the familiar Öhlins Racing design in black or the well known Öhlins gold version, inside the fork is their proven and well known NIX technology, which features compression damping in the left leg and rebound damping in the right leg. This allows for stable damping characteristics due to positive pressure build-up and a more precise comes equipped with HD quality speakers and is engineered with Sena’s ‘Advanced Noise Control’ technology for wind noise reduction and a wide volume control. It also comes with optional ear pads in order to boost audio reception. It can be linked to the Sena Smartphone App, available for free in the iTunes App Store and on Google Play, which will enable configuring of device settings, creating FM radio and speed dial presets, and to access their interactive Quick Start Guide. The ‘Cavalry’ is firmware upgradable and comes with Sena’s two-year warranty.
