In a remarkable leap forward in technology, BMW Motorrad has introduced the groundbreaking ConnectedRide Smartglasses, turning what was once considered science fiction into reality.

• These innovative motorcycle goggles incorporate head-up display (HUD) technology, similar to what is found in the automotive sector, to project real-time data directly into the rider’s field of vision.
• By providing essential information such as navigation, speed, and gear, these smartglasses enhance rider anticipation and significantly improve motorcycle safety.

The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses can be effortlessly connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth and a dedicated app. Riders can conveniently position the projection and customize the settings before and during their journey using the intuitive multicontroller on the motorcycle’s handlebars.

Beyond the improved user interface and enhanced safety features, these smartglasses prioritize rider comfort. The design of the smartglasses and the display have been meticulously adapted to meet the specific needs of motorcyclists. Additionally, the BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses can be adjusted to fit various helmet types and face shapes, ensuring long-lasting comfort even during extended trips. With a long-lasting lithium-ion battery, riders can enjoy up to ten hours of continuous operation.

BMW Motorrad goes the extra mile by providing two sets of certified UVA/UVB lenses with the frame. One set offers 85% transparency, designed for helmets with integrated sun visors. The other set features tinted lenses, transforming the smartglasses into a stylish and practical pair of sunglasses.

For riders who wear glasses, the smartglasses offer an RX adapter (+/- 4.5 diopters), which can be conveniently ordered online. The user manual of the ConnectedRide Smartglasses contains a QR code for easy access to the adapter.

The highly anticipated BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses will make their debut at the BMW Motorrad Days event in Berlin on July 7, 2023. This groundbreaking product showcases BMW’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to advancing rider safety and comfort.
