Cardo Beyond GTS Helmet

The Cardo BEYOND GTS is a premium, fully integrated sport touring helmet built around safety, sound, connectivity, and long distance comfort. Instead of attaching a separate communication unit to an existing helmet, Cardo designed the carbon fiber shell, acoustic chambers, controls, sensors, battery, ventilation, and communication system as one complete platform.

Why Choose the BEYOND GTS?

The GTS is the flagship model in the Cardo BEYOND family. Compared with the BEYOND GT, the GTS upgrades to a carbon fiber composite shell, an active rear brake light, built in motorcycle specific Active Noise Cancellation, a Pinlock 200 anti fog lens, and a larger 2000mAh removable battery with wireless charging.
