Of the handful of riders who tried MotoGP’s latest in-helmet radio system at the Aragon test, Bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrad Binder was the most positive about✅ the performance of the technology.

While helmet radios have been used in F1 for decades, it’s a much more complicated task in MotoGP.

🌌But after several years of development, it looks as though a system could be ready to send on-track safety messages to riders from Race Direction during 2026.

The eventual objective then appears to be the more controversial use of tactical two-way communication between♉ riders and their teams.

Unlike F1’s established in-ear radio communic🌃ation, the MotoGP system utilises bone conduc♔tion technology, via ‘pads’ that rest on the rider’s jawbone.

KTM's Brad Binder tests helmet radio

During Monday’s Aragon MotoGP test, several riders struggled to clearly hear the pre-recorded messages along the circuit's high-speed straights due to excessive noise and minor helmet movements affecting th📖e positioning of the headphones.

However, Red Bull KTM's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder experienced no such problems,

"Honestly they have done a frickin amazing job! I was reall𓆏y impressed,” said the South African.

“My helmet didn’t feel any different and I didn’t notice I had anything, and no matter if you are full gas with your head-up or behind the screen or whatever it is, th𒀰e message comes through super-clear. So, yeah, they did a good job with it."

When asked specifically about clarity during high-speed straights, where 💛Alex Marquez, Lorenzo Savadori and Johann Zarco struggled to hear messages clearly, Binder replied:

"Yeah! I was so surprised. I don’t know if any of you have tried these little [bone conduction] headphones things that come over and chill in front of your ears? It feels like everyone can hear what you are listening to, but the reality is🌟 that only you can.

“It is something similar to thi𒊎s: it works super🌠-well."

“Whether we need them or not is another question”

The associatꦑed hardware also wasn’t a problem, Binder said:

"For me, I put my helmet on and they put the little🧸 box in my hump. I didn’t feel anything or notice anything.

“It was the first time I’d ever tried it🥃. I hadn’t used it 🧔before and honestly I was quite impressed by the way it worked.”

But whi🦄le the technology might be a succ♓ess, “Whether we need them to talk to us or not is another question,” Binder added.

“But if that’s what 𒅌they want, then I don’t mind.”

Binder set the 13th fastest time at the test.
