Technological integration continues to gain prominence in motorcyclist equipment and, along these lines, Cardo Systems and HJC Helmets have announced a new collaboration aimed at improving the communication experience on 2 wheels. The result is 2 new integrated systems developed specifically for certain models of H.J.C.with a design designed to integrate directly into the structure of the helmet without altering its aesthetics.
With this new proposal, Thistle transfers its wireless communication technology to a more compact format and perfectly adapted to compatible helmets from H.J.C.. The objective is to offer a cleaner and more functional solution, eliminating the traditional external modules and keeping both the aerodynamics and the design line of the helmet intact.
As explained Shachar HarariVice President of Business Development at Thistlethe idea has been to convert the communication system into a “natural extension” of the helmet itself. To do this, both companies have worked on platforms already known within the catalog of Thistleadapting them specifically to the needs of users of H.J.C..

Furthermore, the HJC 4X It offers a maximum range of up to 1.2 km and a declared autonomy of up to 13 hours of talk time, figures that place it within the premium segment of motorcycle intercoms.
Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of this new collaboration is, as we never tire of repeating, that both systems have been developed specifically for certain models in the range. H.J.C.. This allows for easier installation and a perfectly adapted fit to the inner structure of each compatible helmet. The list of compatible models includes a good part of the Korean brand’s most recent touring and sport-touring families. Among them are the RPHA 31, RPHA 60, RPHA 71, RPHA 71C, RPHA 91 and RPHA 91Cin addition to the F31, F71, F71C, i71 and i91.
The new communication systems will reach the European market with differentiated prices depending on the equipment level. He HJC Spirit will have a price of 139.95 euroswhile the most advanced HJC 4X will start in 279.95 euros.
