When you ride a bike, you must wear a helmet whether you like it or not! Even if it isn’t a law that you must, you should do it for your own sake. Safety is paramount, you simply can’t trust the people who drive those big scary metal death boxes on the road.

Of course, there are a lot of helmets already out there on the market. What makes the new helmet from Sena different is its communication capabilities. Within the shell of the helmet is a communications system that has in-built speakers and a microphone, group intercom, phone pairing, and it is all crafted with your comfort and safety in mind.

The speakers are placed above your ears when you are wearing your helmet, this means you can listen to music, but also you have complete awareness of your surroundings. So, if you are cycling on the road, and you are listening to tunes, you won’t be terrified when a huge lorry speeds past you from behind. Sena also has its patented Advanced Noise Control technology embedded in this helmet. This means that your voice is heard clearly through the microphone when you are talking to someone on the phone or talking with a fellow cyclist through the device.

You can communicate with other cyclists at a half-mile radius, you can take calls, or tune into local radio; the features are endless! You can also take control of these features by using the Sena smartphone app alongside the helmet.

Overall, a good piece of kit!
