BluArmor C50 Pro price, mesh range, features

BluArmor has launched its third product in the form of the C50 Pro at Rs 24,999. The C50 Pro follows the C30 and the HS1 headset (we’ll be reviewing the latter soon, so keep an eye out), with the company positioning this as its flagship offering. 

  1. Variety of mounting, controlling options
  2. Improved mesh, Bluetooth features
  3. C50 Pro claimed to weigh as much as C30

BluArmor C50 Pro features, battery life, mesh intercom range

BluArmor claims it has incorporated the feedback its customers have given it for the C30 and addressed all those issues as well as added new features to create the C50 Pro. The C50 Pro can be mounted to your helmet either via a magnetic mount (like a Cardo Packtalk Edge) or a conventional mount. BluArmor says that the C50 Pro is mounted at the back of the helmet so as not to disturb the helmet’s balance while riding it. 

The magnetic mount also gets a small lighting system which can be customised as per the user to flash different colours in different patterns. Since this unit packs in a small IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), the system can detect when you’re braking or decelerating and will flash a red light accordingly. The IMU also enables SOS functionality and in the event of a mishap, will automatically dial your pre-saved emergency contact number. 

Controlling the device also can be done in a few different ways. You can either do it via 3 small buttons mounted on the helmet or by a wireless joystick that can be mounted on your handlebar (or anywhere else on your two-wheeler). The entire unit and all its components are certified to the IP67 standard OF waterproofing.

While the C50 Pro continues to use mesh intercom, BluArmor claims it has refined the system for improved range, clearer audio and also incorporated a new feature. The unit can now switch between mesh and cloud connectivity depending on the rider’s location and what system works well there. Currently, using cloud connectivity is free but in time, there will likely be a small fee for the same. It is worth noting that BluArmor’s mesh will not interface with Sena or Cardo’s system and the only way to connect the C50 to a 50S or Packtalk device is via Bluetooth. 

BluArmor has also given you the option of connecting the C50 Pro to multiple different devices, from a second phone, a GPS device and even an action camera. And ofcourse, the BluArmor app will also allow you to connect the device to your smartphone and control the C50 from there too. 

The speakers on the C50 Pro are BluArmor’s own and the company gives you the option of both a boom mic or a smaller wired unit. BluArmor claims a 16 hour battery life on the C50 Pro (based on music playback only) and the company claims it weighs the same as the 70gm C30, although the unit is much smaller in comparison.

The C50 Pro is listed at Rs 21,999  till September 1 and the company has rolled out a few offers for its customers. First is the Trailblazer offer, wherein the company will buy back your C30 at MRP (Rs 10,999), effectively pricing the C50 Pro at Rs 10,999. The second is the Trailblazer +1 offer, wherein if you (a pre-existing C30 owner) and a friend purchase a set of C50 Pro units, the company will buy back the C30 and sell you both a pair of C50s for Rs 10,999 each. Once the offer period is over, the C50 Pro will set you back by Rs 24,999. This makes it roughly Rs 10,000 more affordable than the comparable Sena or Cardo intercom device. 

With the C50 Pro, BluArmor aims to take the fight to global brands like Cardo and Sena and it will also begin exporting the C50 Pro in due course. You can order the C50 Pro on the company’s website but shipping is slated to begin in late September.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
