BMW Motorrad Revolutionizes Motorcycle Experience with ConnectedRide Smartglasses.

Transforming the Ride: A Futuristic Innovation

BMW Motorrad introduces a ground-breaking innovation that revolutionizes the motorcycle riding experience: The ConnectedRide Smartglasses. Once the stuff of science fiction, these innovative goggles leverage head-up display technology, projecting real-time crucial data directly into the rider’s field of vision, thus ensuring safer and more anticipatory riding.

Seamless Connectivity: Pairing With Your Smartphone

The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses can be effortlessly paired with your smartphone via Bluetooth and an app, allowing riders to position the projection and select settings, both pre-ride and while on the move via the multicontroller on the motorcycle handlebars.

Heightened User Interface and Comfort: Designed with the Rider in Mind

BMW has designed the smartglasses not just with an enhanced user interface, but also with the comfort of riders in mind. The design of the smartglasses and the display has been tailored to meet the unique needs of motorcyclists. Furthermore, they can be adapted to fit a wide range of helmets and face shapes, making them comfortable even for long-haul rides. A lithium-ion battery powers the smartglasses, providing up to ten hours of operation.

Meeting the Needs of All Riders: A Versatile Solution

To cater to the varied needs of riders, BMW Motorrad supplies two sets of UVA/UVB certified lenses with the frame. One set of lenses is 85% transparent, suitable for helmets with integrated sun visors. The other set includes tinted lenses, perfect for turning the smartglasses into a practical pair of sunglasses.

For riders who wear glasses, BMW Motorrad has an RX adapter (+/- 4.5 diopters), available for online order directly from the provider, providing a customizable solution for riders with varying visual needs.
