To sum it up in one word...no! As due to how limited Bluetooth is on expandability and also battery life we have no plans to supply a BT headset or comms.

On the recent ride test we beat all of the BT systems currently being sold and it is a very good read for why the BT comms are not really worth touching.

I could write you pages and pages on the downsides of BT but its a long ol story. But if it was definatly worth touching you know we would be selling them.

But with one simple lead from your helmet down to your bike the system works and you are not being limited for battery life, poor expandability and small things like riding past a van will not effect your comms as they can on a BT rider to pillion system.

I hope this helps as a quick guide.

No problems at all, it is a question we get asked a lot overall and around 10-15 times a day each at the shows. Im really glad the ride test was done before the NEC show so we can show all the people asking to why we do not touch them.
