Sena R1 Smart Cycling Smart Communication Helmet

If you want speakers and a mic built into your head protection without paying for the newest Mesh gear, the R1 is the accessible choice. It has built-in speakers and a microphone, plus a Bluetooth intercom for up to three other riders at a listed range of 900 m.

Compared with the EVO version, it uses Bluetooth instead of Mesh. Compared with wearing separate earbuds, the audio hardware is integrated into the helmet, which keeps your ears open to traffic.

• Riders: you plus up to three others; range: 900 m (manufacturer-listed)
• Sizes: S, M, L; colors: Onyx Black, Electric Tangerine, Ice Blue
