SportVue MC2 Head-mounted Display
Anyone planning a motorcycle adventure down a California coastal highway or a high speed cross-country trip needs a SportVue MC2 head-mounted display. This wireless display mounts just outside of your direct vision on a standard motorcycle helmet and displays speed, RPM, programmable shift indicators, current gear, and visual radar alerts in realtime.
The display has three brightness settings for use in broad daylight or on dark roads far from the city. Installation can be done at home in less than two hours and mainly consists of wiring up the motorcycle sending unit and the wheel speed sensor to transmit to the head-mounted display. The unit was track tested at over 160 MPH and has been designed for durability and rock solid performance.
The usefulness of this product goes without saying. It takes the average rider 3 to 5 seconds to adjust to their instrumentation from the road when attempting to gather information. A lot can happen in that time, especially on a motorcycle. These should be standard gear for any rider.
Also in development is a version for cyclists and sky divers.
The SportVue MC1 Retails for $329 and the MC2 with radar support Retails for $389 at SportVue.
