BMW Motorrad presents ConnectedRide Smartglasses.

The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses are bringing science fiction into reality. These innovative motorcycle goggles feature head-up display technology, similar to what you find in cars, and project vital information like navigation, speed, and gear directly into the rider’s field of vision in real time. This allows for safer and more anticipatory motorcycle riding.

Connecting the Smartglasses to your smartphone is a breeze using Bluetooth and the accompanying app. You can position the projection and adjust settings before and during your ride using the multicontroller on the motorcycle’s handlebars.

Not only do these smartglasses enhance riding safety with their individual user interface, but they also offer a high level of comfort. They are specifically designed for the needs of motorcyclists and can be customized to fit various helmets and face shapes. They are even comfortable enough for long day trips, thanks to the lithium-ion battery that provides up to ten hours of operation.

The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses come with two sets of certified UVA/UVB lenses. One set is 85% transparent and ideal for helmets with built-in sun visors, while the other set has tinted lenses, turning the smartglasses into stylish sunglasses.

For those who wear glasses, there is an RX adapter available (+/- 4.5 diopters) that can be ordered online. The user manual of the ConnectedRide Smartglasses contains a QR code for easy access to this accessory.

The official presentation of the BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses will take place on July 7, 2023, during the BMW Motorrad Days event in Berlin.

The key features of the BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses include:

  • Available in two sizes (M and L) with different nose pads.
  • Two sets of lenses (tinted lens and 85% transparent lens) with an integrated light sensor and certified UVA/UVB filter.
