Background
Known for its technical gear across the snowmobile, dirt bike, and motorcycle industries, 509 sought a communication technology partner with a similar innovative approach and cutting-edge mentality, who also understood the nuances of each industry.
Looking to launch a world-first in the snowmobile market, 509 aimed to cement its position as a brand leader by developing a helmet that was more than just protection. They envisioned a 'cockpit' with an integrated premium communication system, quality sound, and noise cancellation.
The brand had the same aspiration for their motorcycle helmets—to provide riders a fully integrated solution built from scratch, propelling 509 to the forefront of riders’ minds.
