Helmet Cardo Venture

Cardo Venture – an off-road helmet with integrated Mesh intercom and JBL-developed speakers and acoustics. Cardo Venture combines an off-road helmet, DMC group communication and a JBL sound system in one factory-integrated design. It was created for motorcyclists who regularly ride off-road with others and want to use an intercom without installing an additional control unit on the outside of the helmet. The second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication system enables communication in groups of up to 31 motorcyclists. The built-in 40 mm speakers developed by JBL allow conversations, music and announcements, while voice control reduces the need to use buttons while riding. Helmet and intercom designed as one system In a standard helmet, the intercom must be installed separately, after which the position of the speakers, microphone and wires must be adjusted. Cardo Venture's communication system was considered during the helmet's design. The electronics are integrated into the construction, so there is no additional protruding control unit on the helmet shell. This reduces the number of externally mounted parts and simplifies preparation for riding. All electronic components are removable and serviceable. The manufacturer has also provided the possibility of replacing them with newer components, allowing the communication system to be updated independently of the rest of the helmet. Mesh connection for groups of up to 31 motorcyclists Second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication enables communication in groups of up to 31 people. The stated operating range is up to 1.6 km, but the actual range depends on terrain, obstacles and surrounding conditions. The solution is suitable for enduro tours, training and recreational off-road riding when rapid communication with the entire group is more important than a conventional connection between two people. Cardo Venture also supports Live Bluetooth Intercom, which enables connection with devices from other leading brands. This simplifies communication in groups using different systems. 40 mm Sound by JBL speakers and voice control The built-in 40 mm speakers developed by JBL are intended for conversations, music listening and receiving announcements. Their factory-defined positioning eliminates the need to fit the sound system inside the helmet yourself. The Natural Voice Operation function allows selected features to be controlled with voice commands. This reduces the need to use controls while riding and helps the rider focus on the route. The system also enables music sharing and wireless software updates via a smartphone app. The electronics have IP67 certification, meaning they are prepared for exposure to water and dirt encountered during off-road riding. Construction prepared for off-road riding Cardo Venture uses a composite shell and four-density EPS liner designed to absorb impact energy. The helmet meets ECE R22.06 and DOT type-approval requirements. 360° Turbine technology is based on elastic discs positioned inside the helmet. In the event of an impact, they allow the shell to move slightly relative to the head. According to the manufacturer, the solution helps reduce rotational forces acting on the head, while the turbine material also absorbs some of the energy from lower-intensity impacts. The construction is complemented by emergency-release cheek pads, a DD-type fastening and three shell sizes for six helmet sizes. Adjustable PRO-FIT™ fit The PRO-FIT™ system uses a modular spacer set that allows the helmet interior to be fitted more precisely to the shape of the head. A secure fit is especially important during off-road riding, when the motorcyclist frequently changes position, travels over uneven terrain and experiences jolts. Six sizes based on three shell sizes also help fit the helmet's external profile more effectively to the wearer. Ventilation for fast and technical riding Large air intakes and internal ventilation channels support airflow both at higher speeds and on slower technical sections. This is important off-road, where considerable physical effort may be required even at low riding speeds. Effective ventilation helps reduce the helmet's internal temperature during demanding rides. The Ionic+® liner limits the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant odours. This helps keep the helmet interior fresher for longer during intensive use. What are you paying for when choosing Cardo Venture? Cardo Venture's value does not come from a single specification. In one product, you get: an off-road helmet with ECE R22.06 and DOT type approvals, DMC communication for up to 31 motorcyclists, 40 mm Sound by JBL speakers, voice-command control, IP67-rated electronics, and the possibility of servicing and later replacing the electronic components. This choice is most justified for a motorcyclist who often rides in a group and regularly uses an intercom. The integrated design eliminates the need to assemble the helmet, communication system and sound system separately.
