Sena Expands 60 Series Communication Systems

Sena Technologies Inc., a long-time leader in motorcycle communication systems, continues to roll out its next-generation flagship intercom, the Sena 60X, which was prominently on display at AIMExpo 2026 last month following its initial announcement at EICMA 2025 in Milan.

The 60X represents a major step forward in Sena’s premium 60 Series lineup, blending advanced connectivity, intelligent power management, and refined rider controls aimed at improving the communication experience for touring and performance-oriented riders alike.

Building on the foundation of Sena’s high-end intercoms, the 60X integrates next-generation processing hardware designed to make sophisticated features easier to use in real-world riding conditions. Rather than simply adding complexity, Sena focused on delivering a more intuitive system that reduces distraction while keeping riders better connected — a priority that resonates strongly with long-distance sport touring riders.

We focused on integrating intelligence and convenience like AI-based noise cancellation, Auto On/Off, and wireless charging, while also enhancing the stability of Mesh technology,” said Dr. Wonhee Lee, Senior Vice President of Product at Sena Technologies Inc. “The goal was to build a platform that makes complex features effortlessly simple.”

A New Benchmark in Rider Connectivity

At the core of the 60X is Sena’s latest Mesh Intercom 3.0, paired with traditional Bluetooth intercom capability. This dual-mode approach allows riders to communicate seamlessly in both large group rides and smaller paired settings, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of riding scenarios.

Mesh technology remains one of Sena’s defining strengths, automatically reconnecting riders who drop in and out of range while maintaining stable audio quality — particularly valuable when riding through mountainous terrain, urban traffic, or staggered touring formations.

Smarter Power and Easier Daily Use

One of the most practical upgrades introduced with the 60X is the addition of wireless charging and Auto On/Off power management. Instead of manually powering up the unit each time riders gear up, the 60X automatically activates when mounted and begins charging without the need for cables.

For riders logging long days in the saddle — often stopping frequently for fuel, meals, or scenic breaks — these small usability improvements can significantly enhance daily convenience.

Controls Designed for Riding

Sena refined the physical interface with a 3-way joystick and a dedicated Wave Button, giving riders tactile control that remains easy to operate with gloved hands. Button functions can also be customized through Sena’s companion smartphone app, allowing frequently used features to be prioritized.

This design philosophy reflects Sena’s broader emphasis on minimizing rider distraction while still delivering full system control on the road.

Clearer Audio in Real-World Conditions

To combat wind noise and helmet turbulence, the 60X incorporates AI-Based Noise Cancellation (AINR) technology, actively filtering background sound to improve voice clarity at highway speeds.

Improved voice command functionality further supports hands-free operation — a meaningful benefit for touring riders who prefer to keep both hands on the bars.

Built for Long-Distance Riding

Engineered for real-world touring conditions, the 60X carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, protecting it from heavy rain and splashing. A magnetic mounting system with Pogo pin connectors allows fast attachment while ensuring reliable charging and electrical contact.

Together, these features reinforce the 60X’s role as a premium communication solution built for extended riding rather than occasional weekend use.

Sena’s Broader Innovation Push

The 60X’s presence at AIMExpo 2026 followed a major showing at EICMA 2025, where Sena also introduced updates across its Bluetooth and Mesh product lines. The dual-showcase approach highlights Sena’s continued investment in rider connectivity — combining technological advancement with everyday practicality.

Positioned as Sena’s flagship communication platform for the 2026 riding season and beyond, the 60X sets a new standard for what riders can expect from premium helmet communication systems.

For sport touring riders in particular, the combination of advanced Mesh connectivity, intelligent power management, rugged construction, and improved audio clarity makes the Sena 60X one of the most noteworthy communication developments entering the 2026 model year.
