Smart helmets have been on the cusp of becoming the latest things for the past decade, but so far none have managed to break into the big time sales-wise. Australian manufacturer Forcite is hoping to change that with its new MK1S lid, which has now launched in the UK. Described as “next-gen” technology, the MK1S integrates the camera, audio and rider-alert system into a sleek carbon fibre shell with an LED display projected onto the inside of the visor. The alert system flags up navigation directions, traffic conditions and the all-essential speed camera warnings, while the 40mm Harman Kardon speakers can relay phone calls and music. The front-mounted camera features a wide angle lens and 1080P (high-definition) resolution to record the ride on a Micro SD card of up to 1TB capacity. Other features include a Pinlock Max Vision 120 anti-fog insert, and a drop-down sun visor. Only available in carbon fibre finish, the SRP is £990.
