New gear: BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Com U1
Whether you’re just going with a partner or a large group, communication is key. The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Com U1 communication system allows you to stay connected with others on the road and has a number of features to make your journey easier and more enjoyable.
ConnectedRide Com U1 allows you to choose between two connection types: Bluetooth and Mesh 2.0. Bluetooth allows you to talk to another person a mile away. It’s a handy way to communicate without calling, especially in areas where cellular service is unreliable. Mesh requires at least six participants but gives groups a range of up to nearly 5 miles, ideal for larger group trips. For really large groups, Multi Channel Open Mesh allows anyone on the same channel to communicate with no limit of participants and no need to pair devices ahead of time.

This com system also allows you to share music with your passengers so that you both get in on the rhythm. The system is equipped with an FM radio with 10 presets. The driver can use the four buttons on the device or voice control. The 40mm HD quality speaker and com system is easy to install, especially with the help of a BMW demonstration video. Due to the fast charging function, the system can get 3.5 hours of Mesh intercom and six hours of Bluetooth use after 20 minutes of charging.
BMW’s Motorrad ConnectedRide Com U1 system sells for $375. Visit BMW website for more information.
