Shoei has recently presented one of its latest technological innovations in the form of a new helmet model: The GT-Air 3 Smart. This has been developed in collaboration with the French brand EyeLightsspecialized in new technologies, becoming the first model on the market to have an augmented reality HUD viewer.
Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart in detail
Shoei has spent decades focused on developing new helmet models that offer the highest level of safety. Now, with the new GT-Air 3 Smart, they take the technological level to another level. To do this, they integrate into their well-known model a state-of-the-art HUD screen capable of offering us real-time data related to speed, radar control, GPS functions, calls, music or notifications.
This is where the experience and dedication of EyeLights comes in. This French brand, directly related to the development of new technologies, is also the creator of the Rocket One that was unveiled last year on the occasion of the 2024 edition of EICMA. A high-performance electric mount with a cafe racer appearance capable of developing 180 HP of power and up to 1,200 Nm of torque with an estimated range of 400 kilometers.
Although we have not heard from this spectacular prototype again, it is clear that they have worked hard over the last twelve months to bring this collaboration with Shoei to life. Among the main features offered by the GT-Air 3 Smart we can highlight:
- Nano OLED FHD visor integrated into the HUD
- Customizable screen: Map / Speed cameras / Speed limit / Calls
- Battery life > 10 hours
- Premium Audio Kit and Noise Canceling Microphone
- Unlimited intercom distance/number of passengers
- Compatible with Android and IOS
- Voice control, etc.
According to EyeLights, the technology incorporated in the GT-Air 3 Smart includes “the most effective intercom on the market”since it has the EyeRide system, which does not require the need for extra accessories. In this way it is capable of offering unlimited range, allowing all the users we want to be interconnected.
In addition, it is compatible with all brands, working in both online and offline mesh mode. Likewise, the audio kit includes a microphone with active noise cancellation and is compatible with Siri and Google voice assistants. But perhaps what stands out most in this new GT-Air 3 Smart is its successful Nano OLED HUD screen that promises perfect FHD readability, “even in direct sunlight”as detailed by the brand in charge of its development.
The innovative and technological Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart is now on sale for a starting price of 1,199 eurosa rate that may seem somewhat high if we compare it with the standard version of the model. In any case, you have to pay for exclusivity and being able to enjoy this type of technical boasts in our helmet, in addition to the added safety it offers, must be quite an experience.
