It’s been a long wait, but finally, the Forcite MK1S smart helmet is available in the US through Tucker Powersports. The special helmet offers audio, visual, and road alert systems to riders. It’s unlike any other helmet on the market right now.
Finally, the Forcite Smart Helmet Makes its US Debut
I first wrote about this Forcite helmet for Web Bike World a few years ago, and a friend of mine, Jim Pruner has talked with the Forcite guys quite a bit. They sound like a bunch of smart, passionate tech guys who love motorcycles.
With that in mind, I’m pretty excited for this helmet to come to the US and I’d love to get my hands on one eventually.
The helmet offers tons of unique features, the most important parts, according to Motorcycle.com are:
- A proprietary road alert and in-helmet, peripheral LED display that communicates route information and turn-by-turn directions to the rider, with no need to look away from the road ahead.
- High-end audio with Harman Kardon speakers and a dual microphone designed specifically for Forcite’s motorcycle environment.
- Built-in action camera with 1080p resolution, low-light capability, and a Sony IMX sensor.
Then there’s the fact that this appears to be just a good helmet, despite the technology. It has a carbon fiber shell, a moisture-wicking interior, a special neck roll design, and a chin curtain. So you get a good helmet with the most advanced features. Sign me up.
Tucker Powersports distributes the Forcite MK1S, so look for it anywhere supplied by Tucker. The suggested retail price is $1099.99.
