Ruroc just released the fourth generation of its flagship Atlas helmet. While the lid’s streamlined shell, closable vents, customizable cheek pads, and RHEON technology stole the spotlight, the brand still makes the helmet compatible with its Shockwave Bluetooth audio system. Despite Ruroc’s vested interest in Shockwave’s success, the firm just released the CHAIN app aimed at unifying rider communication units regardless of the manufacturer.
For those that have struggled to link a Sena with a Cardo or a Lexin with an Unclear, the CHAIN app will solve those proprietary problems with Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology. Apps like Discord, Skype, and WhatsApp already use the internet-based connection to help users connect. In CHAIN form, VOIP will help riders seamlessly connect comm units manufactured by different brands.
