Cardo BEYOND Helmet: Tech-Forward Protection

After two decades of dominating rider communication systems, Cardo Systems has unveiled its first-ever fully integrated helmet lineup: the Cardo BEYOND Helmet GTS and GT, engineered to protect, connect, and elevate every mile.

The Cardo BEYOND Helmet platform features the world’s first 53mm helmet speakers, precision-tuned by Cardo Sound Labs for crystal-clear audio and thundering low-end. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) tailored for motorcyclists combats wind fatigue and protects long-term hearing health. Then there’s the helmet health indicator—a never-before-seen feature that continuously monitors the structural integrity of the shell and liner, alerting riders in real-time to damage that could compromise safety.

Whether you’re a solo sport rider, long-haul tourer, or urban commuter, the Cardo BEYOND Helmet is built to enhance every riding scenario with intuitive, embedded tech and class-leading safety.

Cardo BEYOND Helmet GTS vs. GT: A Choice of Excellence

The Cardo BEYOND Helmet GTS ($1199.00) sits at the top of the range with a featherweight carbon fiber shell and a multi-density EPS liner for advanced impact absorption. Aerodynamics weren’t an afterthought—this helmet was wind-tunnel tested for stability, ventilation, and reduced fatigue. Riders get a broad field of view courtesy of the Pinlock 200 anti-fog lens and an Emergency Release System for added crash preparedness. Add in DOT and ECE 22.06 certifications and integrated crash detection with real-time alerts, and you’re looking at one of the most intelligently safe helmets on the planet.

Other safety-forward touches include a rear-facing Active Brake Light, giving following traffic a crucial heads-up during hard braking. A retractable sun visor provides adaptive visibility, and moisture-wicking premium interior fabrics ensure day-long comfort. Battery life isn’t an issue with a detachable, wirelessly chargeable power cell and Auto On/Off functionality to extend runtime. Riders can even customize the helmet’s smart button for personalized control.

Now enter the Cardo BEYOND Helmet GT ($949.00), the more accessible sibling to the GTS. It offers a similar visual profile and core feature set but trades the carbon shell for lightweight fiberglass. It lacks wireless charging but includes a 1000mA battery and a Pinlock 120XLT lens for superior fog resistance. You still get compatibility with ANC tech, integrated intercom, and all the voice-activated hands-free capabilities—just at a price point more appealing to riders looking to balance budget with functionality.

Cardo BEYOND Helmet Marries Audio, Safety, and Seamless Communication

The Cardo BEYOND Helmet platform offers a full ecosystem of connectivity. Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) lets riders pair seamlessly with up to 15 other units across a 2km range. Bluetooth integration allows streaming, calls, navigation prompts, and voice control—all without lifting a finger.

For riders who live in their lid, longevity matters. The Cardo BEYOND platform is built for evolution, with modular tech upgrades and replaceable components extending the helmet’s lifespan beyond the average shelf date. It’s built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow firmware updates, while Cardo’s own mobile app gives you full control over settings, system diagnostics, and navigation—all from your smartphone.
