Smart helmets, luxury helmets, and MV Agusta are in the news this week.
I write motorcycle news over at Web Bike World every weekday. At the end of the week, I like to do a little news roundup over here. I pull my favorite three news stories of the week. Here are the ones you need to know about.
MV Agusta to Build Four New 350cc and 500cc Motorcycles With the Help of Chinese Company Loncin
So, there’s a couple of things going on here. First, MV Agusta is going to build four new motorcycles. Second, those motorcycles will be 350cc and 500cc models. Third, the company partnered with the Chinese company Loncin to make that happen. Finally, the bikes will come in 2021.
BMW Teams Up With Hedon to Make Retro-Inspired Helmets
Hedon makes luxury lids that look old school but are actually modern designs. BMW must have dug what they’re doing because now they’re collaborating.
Forcite MK1 Smart Helmet Launches
I’ve written about Focite on Web Bike World before. It’s a genuinely awesome-looking smart helmet. The company launched its product in Australia (where it’s based). From there, depending on how things go, it will expand to other areas of the world.
