NUVIZ Inc., creators of the first all-in-one head-up display (HUD) for motorcyclists, announced today that its flagship NUVIZ HUD system has been named a CES 2018 Best of Innovation Awards Honouree.

The NUVIZ HUD system integrates navigation, communication, photo and video, and music into one device, enabling motorcycle riders to stay connected—but not distracted—and eliminates the need for other single-purpose devices, mounts, and cables that clutter the bike or rider’s helmet.

“Motorcycling can be a dangerous sport that requires constant focus on the road, yet virtually every bike out there requires the rider to look down frequently at their gauges, and smartphone apps for music, calling, and navigation dramatically increase rider distractions,” said Marcel Rogalla, Founder and CEO at NUVIZ. “We have designed the NUVIZ HUD to simplify riding, minimise distractions, and keep the rider informed. We are delighted to be recognised by the CTA for achieving these goals with a product that is truly in a class by itself.”

NUVIZ includes software updates for future features and functionality and access to international maps for world travellers. NUVIZ is available from rideNUVIZ.com with an RRP of €699/£615. They benefit from free shipping, a 30-day returns policy and one-year warranty as standard.

Products entered in the prestigious CES Innovation Awards program, sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), are judged by a panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers, and members of the trade media. Their mission is to honour outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics products across 28 product categories.

Entries are evaluated on a set of guidelines including the product’s engineering, aesthetic and design qualities, intended use/function and user value, unique/novel features present, and how the design and innovation of the product directly compares to other products in the marketplace.

NUVIZ will be displayed at CES 2018, which runs January 9-12, 2018, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Best of Innovation Honourees are also displayed at CES Unveiled New York from 3 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. on November 9 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York, and CES Unveiled Las Vegas from 5 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on January 7 at the Shorelines Exhibit Hall in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Nigel Quiney - This was taken last year just 6 months before my 87 year old dad passed away. It was his first ride on the back of a motorcycle and he love it.

Suzuki has announced a new GSX-S1000FZ Phantom edition for 2018, the all-matt black machine joining the popular GSX-S1000 and GSX-S750 Phantoms in the range next year.

The stealthy black livery is offset by subtle red detailing, while the exhaust is also finished in black, further differing it from the standard GSX-S1000F.

Using the iconic GSX-R1000 K5 engine – famed for it’s low-down torque and midrange power – the GSX-S1000F and GSX-S1000 get a three-stage traction control system plus Suzuki’s low rpm assist and easy-start system. For 2017, they also benefitted from a power hike – taking peak power to 150PS – and a new slipper clutch.

The GSX-S1000 super-naked is also available in a new white paint scheme for 2018, with red and black graphics and red wheels, while the GSX-S750 – which was new for 2017 – can now be had in an eye-catching red and black livery, alongside the classic blue and black option and all-black Phantom.

The 2018 GSX-S range will arrive in dealerships early next year.
