‘It’s keeping me connected’

Tested by Saffron Wilson for eight

months/3800 miles

This is an all-in-one Bluetooth communications system and 4K action camera, which links to your smartphone and allows you to connect to a satnav, answer calls, chat with friends and listen to music, all on the move.

I didn’t have music in my helmet until recently, but now I don’t think I could go without, especially on long journeys. It drowns out the wind noise and the speakers work well even over my earplugs.

The 10C is easy to install and, as I’ve used it in two helmets now, the mounting system is proving to be durable. It’s simple to use and syncs with your phone perfectly. The only small annoyance was when using a radio app on my phone; if I lost signal, I wasn’t able to restart the audio through the

Sena and would physically need to press play on my phone.

The intercom works four ways and stays in range up to a mile, so if your mates are connected, you can tell them to pull over for petrol at the push of a button. The 10C also enables you to answer phone calls through your helmet. The buttons can be operated with chunky gloves, with practice.

I’m still testing the camera element but what I’ve seen so far are clear images and I can’t wait to take it on a tour or off-road and see what it can really do. The video quality is at 4K/30FPS but if you’re like me, you need to remember to give the lens a wipe at the same time as your visor!

It’s worth noting (and is pretty much the only thing that didn’t sit perfectly with me) is that the Sena 10C was released before the ECE 22.06 standard so hasn’t been tested as an accessory. But it is light, unobtrusive and easy to attach. It’s a top-quality product but the price reflects that.
