GoPro released a teaser for a motorcycle helmet with an integrated action camera, developed in partnership with Italian helmet maker AGV. GoPro confirmed the helmet will arrive in 2027.
Why it matters
Motorcyclists typically rely on aftermarket mounts to attach action cameras to their helmets, so a built-in system could offer a more streamlined alternative. The product reflects GoPro's push into motorcycle safety and connected riding gear following its acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems.
The camera housing sits centrally beneath the visor, while traditional chin-mounted setups require a separate bracket and external camera. GoPro has not yet disclosed the camera's resolution, stabilisation specifications, or pricing.
The players
GoPro
GoPro is a California-based action camera company known for its rugged, wearable cameras, which it is now extending into motorcycle safety gear.
AGV
AGV is an Italian motorcycle helmet manufacturer with a long history in racing and performance helmets.
The details
GoPro developed the helmet with Italian specialist AGV and released a short teaser showing riders on the road and racetrack. The camera sits almost flush with the helmet shell, and GoPro describes the product as a fully integrated, tech-enabled motorcycle helmet.
Timeline
February 2024: GoPro completed its acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems.
2025: GoPro announced its partnership with AGV.
2027: The smart motorcycle helmet is scheduled to arrive.
Roadmap
The development reflects a broader shift in motorcycle gear toward integrated electronics rather than aftermarket add-ons. It follows GoPro's acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems and positions the company alongside helmet makers pursuing connected safety features.
Riders who currently mount cameras on their helmets with separate brackets could eventually replace that setup with a single integrated unit. Buyers should wait for pricing and performance details before deciding whether it suits their riding.
The takeaway
Integrated helmet cameras could simplify motorcycle filming, but riders should judge the product on confirmed stabilisation performance and price once they are released. Until then, aftermarket chin mounts remain the practical option for most riders.
