We’ve seen it coming for some time now, and several aftermarket manufacturers have been developing products to turn ordinary helmets into smart lids. However, now the smart helmet looks like it’s inching ever closer to becoming a reality. We’ve talked about Forcite helmets a bunch of times before. The Australian startup seeks to blaze a trail in the world of smart, connected helmets. Now, the company has launched its flagship model, the MK1S.
The MK1S takes everything you know about smart helmets and turns it up to eleven. Forcite has spent years in research and development, and has thrown in some of the most cutting-edge technology into this smart helmet. Suffice it to say that no other helmet comes close to the level of intelligence the MK1S brings to the table. For starters, it promises superb comfort and aero—essential attributes for any top-shelf lid. On top of that, it comes with built-in, Harman Kardon high-definition speakers, as well as a host of other nifty technology that effectively eliminates the need for an intercom system and an action camera.
