One of the We have the most important senses we have as a motorcycle riding. Whether you are on a group ride, where other riders are calling the road and traffic risks, or alone, to keep the ears of the cars coming from our back or other rides, our ears are like our eyes.
Bone conductor headphones-sit outside the ears and voice through vibration-has been around for some time. But Sinai, based in California, has permanently raised the bar on cycling helmets with integrated speaker. Their latest presentation, S1, combines audio technology of Sina with aerial benefits to many road cyclists.

With a smooth outer shell, Sina S1 looks, fits, and feels that aero road helmets, which are on the rise in popularity over the past decade. This is a sleek with a pin of vents and a pair of front -facing ventures to keep your head cool during hot rides. Its flat and vaccine elimination mixes helmets to a modern contradictory style that looks at home at Tour de France Peltin.
It is lightweight, which weighs only 360 grams, and at 929, its price is like a high -end aero helmet, despite the fact that it allows maximum air speaker and microphone, Bluetooth connectivity, a built -in tail light, and Sina’s proprietary mesh intercom system.
I tested Sina S1 on one of the stupid rides that I did in a long time:, when I boarded a hundred miles of a quarter mile near my house. (I’m not Completely Crazy I swear that I was doing this for another story.) For a ride like boring and neurice, I needed a little disturbance for the mile -century. Fortunately, I was sitting in Sinai S1 in my office.
For some reasons I have never really messed up with any kind of headphone while living on a motorcycle. First and most important, safety. I like to hear what is happening around me, especially when riding the road. Second, as far as I am concerned, the birds are walking over my head, listening to the air in my ears, my tires easily travel over the floor or crush the dirt under my wheel, as part of the experience on the motorcycle is as part of my pedal. Third, we live in a period in which we are all subject to permanent content. The motorcycle is all my sanctity, a place where no Instagram can take on a rail or hot pod cast.
