不久前,Zac写了一本很棒的review on the Sena Outrush modular helmet。自那时候起,Sena has updated the Outrush with an Outrush R version,他们送我一个尝试。

Outush R版本也是模块化的。它使您可以将整个前部向上和向上翻转。这是一个不错的功能,当您想停下来与伙伴聊天或做一些事情之类的事情,而无需脱下头盔。也就是说,模块化头盔已经存在了一段时间,而且该技术并不新鲜。但这可能是一个不错的功能。

对于Outush R,Sena将其蓝牙通信系统直接集成到了头盔中。这意味着您不必浪费时间安装扬声器,麦克风或路由电线。一旦将其与您要通信的设备配对,就几乎不用担心了。打开它,已经准备好了。

The Outrush R has garnered both DOT and ECE approvals. But what sets it apart from many of the other modular helmets is its dual P/J homologation. This means that the helmet retains its DOT and ECE approvals, whether the modular portion is open or closed. Still, as you can imagine, riding with the modular portion open does not provide as much protection as when it is closed.

预装的通信设备的重量为60盎司。这与Arai XD4进行了很好的比较,Arai XD4的重量为64盎司,安装了Cardo PackTalk Bold和Shoei Hornet X2,该X2重量为64盎司,没有安装任何通信单位。

适合和完成

这是一个合适的头盔。我在阿莱(Arai)上穿着“中等”的尺寸,在Outush R中,合适的尺寸明显地固定。当我第一次戴上它时,我不得不伸开耳朵,我注意到额头顶部有一个热点。但是骑了一段时间后,热点消失了,所以也许这只是我对头盔的最初反应,与我的Arai XD4不同。

它配备了四个通风孔,一个下巴通风口,头盔顶部的屋顶通风口以及后部的两个排气通风口。两种进气口都非常易于操作;这只是一个方向或另一个方向的简单幻灯片,可以打开和关闭它们。简单。

Closed up with the vents open, air movement through the helmet is average. You can feel it through the chin vent and less so through the chimney vent. With the face shield open, plenty of air flows through. However, when you drop down the sun visor, airflow is reduced.

下拉的太阳遮阳板非常好。它为我扩展了适量的数量。部署时,我尝试过的其他下拉遮阳罩头盔经常撞到鼻子的桥梁。

The visor blocks out an appreciable amount of glare and is very useful. It’s dark without being too dark. And, it’s nice to have some sun protection without having to tuck sunglasses inside your helmet and deal with the reduced comfort of some sunglass’ arms. Unfortunately, Sena doesn’t state whether the visor is UV blocking.

扩展帽舌是容易的, even with a gloved hand. All that’s necessary is to slide a button on the left side of the helmet up or down.

As for the helmet’s clear visor, it provides decent optics. It can be easily opened and closed with a gloved hand using one of the two small tabs protruding from its front. There are four detent positions from closed to completely open. Unfortunately, while the visor has two open detents, it’s missing a de-misting detent for those times that you just want a little air to help defog the visor.

塞纳说,面罩是刮擦和抗紫外线的。令人耳目一新的是,替换遮阳板便宜。我能够以大约15美元的价格在线找到它们。

蓝牙通信

The helmet’s comms are controlled with a relatively flush-fitting three-button module. It’s on the left side of the helmet and towards the rear. It also has a status light to tell you about the unit’s status (e,g, device search mode, power status (on/off etc.).

The reach to the module is a bit awkward, but moving it towards the rear makes the helmet’s overall profile slimmer and perhaps cuts down on wind noise a bit. In any event, it’s not hard to use.

Included with the helmet is a quick start guide that tells you how to turn it on and off. But at least in my case, there was no other operational documentation to be found. As such, you’ll have to use the good ol’ Internet for more operating info.

For me, that was a bummer because there are several different button push scenarios that most users will want to know right from the start. Things like how do I pair with other riders? How do I make and receive phone calls? How do I use and operate the FM radio? I think you get my point.

无论如何,我想将头盔与三星S10+手机和Garmin XT GPS配对。最初的配对非常简单,没有打ic。打开Outush R,它将搜索您的设备。找到后,授权设备上的配对,您就可以使用了。

通讯还具有语音命令功能,可让您使用语音打电话。但是,您必须将头盔放在适当的模式下才能做到这一点。

沟通范围

不幸的是,我找不到另一个Sena用户来测试设备的范围功能。因此,我只能报告Sena的说法,即Outush R的范围为900米或大约半英里。我已经与其他塞纳(Sena)单元一起骑行,声称的范围在开放地形上。如果您在树林或弯曲或丘陵的道路上,您可以期望更少。

The shortish range is because the Outrush R is a Bluetooth communicator. It’s not a dynamic mesh system that uses other communicators to extend its communications range. In my book, the Outrush R’s range is acceptable as a Bluetooth communicator, especially considering the setup’s price. More on that later.

Sena also says that the Outrush R can link with up to four riders. Again, I did not have the opportunity to test this function.

声音/噪音

Once the devices paired, my experience was quite good. I could listen to music and the turn by turn directions from the GPS without any issues.

不幸的是,由于噪音,理解它们可能是一个问题。头盔中的扬声器还可以。它们提供了相当相当的道路音质中间,即使在细小的一面也没有。

But the larger issue is the amount of available volume. Riding around town, you can hear what you want/need to hear. But as speeds increase, there just isn’t enough volume to let you hear them clearly. At highway speeds, you know that the speakers are on, but understanding what’s coming out of them can be a problem.

扬声器的问题因头盔的整体道路和风噪声而加剧。就在那儿,带着我骑过的最大的全脸头盔。

结论

Overall, the Outrush R is a decent helmet communications combo. It’s probably best in an urban commuter role with little to no highway riding. It connects easily to your devices and for listening to music from your phone, or its built in FM radio, or making/receiving phone calls, it does a decent job. But as speed increases, so does the noise, so using these devices can become problematic.

If there’s one thing that Sena has done an excellent job of, it’s providing an outstanding price to value quotient. The Outrush R is an ECE/DOT certified helmet with built in communications coming in with a very respectable and somewhat miserly MSRP of $259.

对于进入摩托车骑行世界的骑手来说,Sena Eutrush R可以是廉价且能力稳定的头盔。对于某些人来说,这是一个模块化头盔的事实只是在蛋糕上锦上添花。
