Redmond, Washington-based tech startup Coros Wearables announced last week on Kickstarter that the company’s LINX smart cycling helmet is now available for purchase. With LINX, Coros hopes to tackle the challenge of merging tech and bike on the open road.
Employing bone conduction technology and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, LINX enables riders to answer calls, be navigated and listen to music without taking their ears off the road. By sending vibrations through a rider’s cheek bones, LINX bypasses the eardrum and sends audio directly to the inner ear.
