On June 15, 2022, BMW Motorrad announced its newest communication system, the ConnectedRide Com U1. It’s not clear at this point whether this system is in addition to BMW’s older Fit For All comms unit, or is meant to replace it. Like the Fit For All, this newest member of the BMW communications family was developed by Sena, and appears to be closely related to the 50R.
The ConnectedRide Com U1 utilizes both Bluetooth and Mesh 2.0 technology, and allows riders to do plenty of what you’d expect. Features include Bluetooth communication with two participants, Mesh communication with up to 24, listening to music, making phone calls, and of course listening to announcements from your favorite navigation system. ConnectedRide Com U1 is also equipped with an FM radio that can save up to ten of your favorite stations (yes, this is still 2022, we checked).
