Veteran biker, Andy “Hog” McCaskey, checks out Vertix’s Raptor helmet communicator. Let’s roll!
Vertix Raptor-i is a Bluetooth-based helmet communication system that brings together phone, intercom, radio and music player functions into a single unit. It’s perfect for any activity where wearing a helmet is the norm including motorcycling, motorport and skiing.
A microphone and speaker are fitted inside the helmet and Raptor unit goes on the outside. The unit’s controls are designed to be operated with gloves on and a remote control will be available in a few month’s time. Noise-cancellation and auto-gain control to ensure that voices can be heard clearly even at speed.
For the intercom function, two Raptor units can be paired together so that rider and pillion can talk or two riding buddies can chat between bikes.
The MSRP for the Vertix Raptor-i is $160 and it’s available now.
