Answer to the Skully? Heads-Up Display BikeHUD Adventure Helmet

Skully Helmets has been making waves in technology with the development of the AR-1, but the idea of a Heads-Up Display (HUD) motorcycle helmet is nothing new and they aren't the only name in town. With manufacturers like NUVIZ and Reevu making HUD helmets, we'll soon see an arms race similar to that of new motorcycles, but with gadget-filled helmets or gadgets for helmets.

Helmets that react and monitor the motorcycle and rider are bringing in a new riding experience. Even if the first versions of the helmet aren't stellar, the competing development from multiple companies will eventually help produce great products. May the best tech for the helmet win.

We've previously covered one of those such competitors, the BikeHUD system. The team behind the BikeHUD have been working on an updated version of their system with some cool new features.

There is one definite design item that makes the BikeHUD stand out from other options like the Skully AR-1. The BikeHUD can be installed in your existing helmet. It is an add-on system to both your bike and your helmet. For us that's a nice bonus especially when you have to replace your helmet or decide to get a new bike. Move the equipment over and ride on. You can dish out the dough for the system and be confident that the helmet is up to the task… that is, if you like your existing helmet.

Beyond fitting in your current helmet it also shows speed, GPS navigation, safety cameras and interfaces with your smart phone to play music and show who's calling.
