Quad Lock : a mount, a case, a quarter turn

The Quad Lock system was born in Melbourne, conceived by Chris Peters who couldn't find a reliable phone mount for his bike; it was launched in 2011 and later adapted for motorcycles. It combines a case specific to each smartphone model and a mount fixed to the handlebar, mirror, or on the steering column for the Pro version. You present the phone at an angle, turn a quarter turn, and a dual locking mechanism prevents any dislodging. The Mag versions add a magnet that guides the setup. As a series ends, many cases target older phones: check the exact compatibility with your model before ordering.

GPS Beeline : navigate with a single arrow

The Beeline Moto is a small round GPS fixed to the handlebar, which connects via Bluetooth to an app on the phone. Instead of a map, its screen displays an arrow and a distance, readable at a glance without taking your eyes off the road. Two modes coexist: the route mode indicates the direction and distance to the next turn, while the compass mode simply points toward the destination in a straight line, allowing the rider to choose their routes. Waterproof to IP67 standards and shock-resistant, it lasts over thirty hours on a charge and accepts the import of pre-prepared GPX tracks.

Intercom: phone, music and GPS in the helmet

An intercom fixes to the helmet and broadcasts GPS instructions, calls, and music from the phone through speakers located near the ears. Solo models, like the Exo-Com Link, cover these uses for a rider riding alone. To communicate with a passenger or another rider, you choose a compatible model for duo conversations. Sena, one of the leading brands in the sector, also offers an intercom designed for jet helmets, supplied with a boom mic that stays in front of the mouth despite the absence of a chin guard. Before purchase, check the available space in the helmet to accommodate the speakers.

Airbag Helite: CO2 cartridge and attachment cord

Helite is a French company founded in 2002 in Dijon by Gérard Thevenot, a fluid mechanics engineer. Its mechanically triggered vests are linked to the motorcycle by an attachment cord: in the event of a fall or ejection, the traction impacts a CO2 cartridge that inflates the vest in a fraction of a second, protecting the neck, chest, and back. After a deployment, the cartridge is replaced with a new one of the same size, fifty cubic centimeters for vests that require it, before getting back on the road. The cord, exposed to friction and weather, should be checked regularly and replaced at the first sign of wear.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment is mandatory for riding a motorcycle in France?

A certified helmet is mandatory, as well as CE-certified gloves for both the rider and the passenger since November 20, 2016. Since January 1, 2016, a high-visibility vest must also be onboard, in the top case or a bag.

Is the motorcycle intercom allowed in France?

Yes: since 2015, headphones and earplugs are banned while driving and riding, but systems integrated into the helmets of two-wheeled vehicles remain allowed. The phone should never be held in hand while riding.

What are knee sliders for?

On the track, the rider places their knee on the ground in tight corners to gauge their angle. The slider, fixed with Velcro on the suit, rubs against the asphalt instead of the leather and is replaced once worn out.

Which cartridge to choose for a Helite airbag vest?

The capacity depends on the vest model and is indicated in its manual or label: fifty, sixty, or one hundred cubic centimeters. Cartridges for mechanical and electronic deployment are not interchangeable.

Why wear earplugs under the helmet?

At high speeds, the wind noise in the helmet fatigues hearing and concentration. Filtered earplugs, like those from Alpine, reduce this noise while still allowing traffic and intercom sounds to be heard.
