Help Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Getting back into biking after many years and I am out of my depth not least with tech (Which didn't exist when I last rode!) Thinking about a Trident which has led me to tech. I see the bike has connectivity - I would wish to connect my I phone X, Go Pro Hero + LCD will this combo work? Any recommendations re a compatible headset and helmet. I don't want to spend a fortune (£100 - £200 on a full face helmet). I know I could ask Triumph but worried they will push their stuff as opposed what's best at a reasonable price. Quote
Stu Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forum I don't think you will be able to connect the Go Pro and as for the helmet you would have to buy a headset but a word of warning they can be pretty expensive and you would have to make sure the new helmet would be able to accommodate the speakers without adding pressure on to your ears Quote
husoi Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Most new helmets will have a removable bit to accommodate earphones and will have a way to install an intercom set. It will mean that you have to remove the padding (also removable) pass the cables and put everything back. But these are not the £50 helmets Quote

Its age? Quote

Bender Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Triumph have a list of tested items that work with the new connectivity system if fitted As the phone is going to use Bluetooth as is the headset it likely most newish stuff will, camera appears to be limited to 7 Black.

husoi Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I'm a Nolan guy, those are for sure intercom suitable. Mine cost me just over £200 but it is a flip up with all the trimmings. Normal full face are cheaper for sure. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_cat/3239 Quote

I've seenots if pop up ads for them they only seem to sell on their own website I like to try and see in the flesh. They are meant to be v light come up 4 on the sharp testing only negative I can see from a review is its meant to be a bit noisy Quote
S-Westerly Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Yep, I've read the same. Their latest version 4 is supposed to be quieter. 1 Quote
MikeHorton Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 It would be nice to see them in the shops to try on 1 Quote

I might give it a try in the summer with a few mates to see how it fairs 1 Quote
