Cardo buys Riser bike navigation app

It Seems Intercom Maker

Bridgestone Used For Record

BELGIAN BIKER THIERRY SARASYN HAS set a new world record by riding to 15 countries in just 22 hours. The total distance travelled was 1368 miles, and he visited, in order, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Presumably, he didn’t have time for the passport queues to add the UK to the list. Sarasyn used a Kawasaki Versys 1000 fitted with Bridgestone’s T32 touring tyres.

Cardo is a brand on the move, and it’s continuing its expansion by buying the Riser bike navigation app. Riser, based in Austria with links to Pierer Mobility, combines navigation functions with expanded social media utilities and gives Cardo another area for development.

“We are excited to join forces with Riser, which has created an innovative motorcycle app that enhances the riding experience,” said Cardo Systems CEO Alon Lumbroso. “This acquisition will enable us to provide our customers with an even wider range of solutions, including navigation, community, and safety, that meet their evolving needs.”

Dominik Koffu, founder of Riser, added, “We are thrilled to become part of the Cardo family and combine our strengths to provide riders with a comprehensive set of tools that make their riding experience safer and more enjoyable. We look forward to continuing to develop and innovate our technology under the Cardo umbrella.”

Pierer Mobility CEO, Stefan Pierer, commented, “I am delighted to see Riser find a new home with Cardo, and we have every confidence that together

Announcing the new initiative, Antonio Perlot, ACEM secretary general, said: “This initiative, bringing together the expertise of recognised players in the motorcycle sector, addresses one of the main causes of motorcycle noise in the streets. Approved silencers with too easily removable baffles or dB-Killers are today still present on the market, which may result in unacceptably high levels of noise on the road.

“Putting forward state-of-theart solutions, the guidelines will help type approval authorities towards a more harmonised assessment of conformity to anti-tampering rules for exhaust silencers. The call is now on all stakeholders to apply them without delay.”

The recommendations are aimed at road-legal pipes and won’t affect makers of race exhausts and nontype-approved parts.

The full recommendations are available online at: unece.org/sites/ default/files/2023-01/GRBP-7720e.pdf they will achieve great success.”

According to Cardo, the Riser acquisition is part of an ongoing strategy to provide riders with the most advanced and user-friendly communication and navigation systems.
