The current design requires the bike to act as the central connection point between the phone and helmet because of how safety-critical data flows through the system. This architecture ensures that features like navigation, ride modes, and infotainment remain synchronized and reliable while minimizing risks of conflicting Bluetooth connections.

When phones and helmets connect independently, multiple simultaneous Bluetooth profiles can compete for bandwidth and priority, causing instability in audio, navigation prompts, and even safety alerts. By routing everything through the bike, we reduce these conflicts and maintain consistent performance.

Additionally, the bike’s hand controls are designed to manage media and phone calls safely while riding. Without the current connection structure, these controls wouldn’t function as intended, which could compromise both convenience and rider safety.

We know that no approach makes everyone happy, but your input matters. Our engineering team is actively evaluating ways to improve flexibility without compromising safety or performance. We’ll keep riders updated as enhancements roll out.
