The motorcycle goggles provide the head-up display technology already familiar from the automotive sector and project all relevant data, such as navigation, speed or gear, directly into the rider’s field of vision in real time, thus enabling safer motorcycle riding.
BMW Motorrad said the €690 (RM3,535) glasses can be easily connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth and app. The projection can be positioned and the settings can be selected before the ride and also while riding via the multicontroller on the motorcycle handlebars.
In addition to the individual user interface and an increase in riding safety, the glasses also offer a high level of comfort. Its design and the display has been adapted to meet the special needs of motorcyclists.
In addition, the glasses can be adapted to fit numerous helmets and face shapes. This makes it comfortable to wear even on long day trips. The lithium-ion battery enables up to 10 hours of operation.
BMW Motorrad also supplies two sets of certified UVA/UVB lenses with the frame.
One set of lenses is 85% transparent and can be used especially for helmets with integrated sun visors. The other set has tinted lenses turning the glasses into a pair of sunglasses.
For people who wear spectacles, there is an RX adapter (+/- 4.5 diopters). This can be ordered online directly from the provider. The corresponding QR code can be found in the user manual of the ConnectedRide Smartglasses.
The glasses was presented on July 7 as part of the BMW Motorrad Days in Berlin.
