GoPro has teased a motorcycle helmet with a built-in action camera, developed in partnership with Italian helmet specialist AGV. GoPro confirmed the helmet will arrive in 2027, and riders who currently fit aftermarket chin mounts would be the ones most directly affected.
Why it matters
Motorcyclists typically rely on aftermarket mounts to attach action cameras to their helmets, which adds a separate bracket and an external camera to the setup. A helmet with the camera built in would change that routine and could reduce the clutter of retrofitted gear for riders who record their rides.
GoPro says the helmet will arrive in 2027, and the wide-angle camera sits in the chin bar beneath the visor. The product is being developed with AGV, an Italian helmet maker, and follows GoPro's February 2024 acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems.
The players
GoPro
A camera maker best known for its rugged action cameras used by motorcyclists, cyclists and other outdoor enthusiasts, which is now moving into integrated riding gear.
AGV
An Italian helmet manufacturer with a long racing heritage and a reputation for premium motorcycle helmets.
Forcite Helmet Systems
An Australian smart-helmet company whose acquisition by GoPro in February 2024 laid the groundwork for its helmet technology.
The details
The camera housing sits centrally beneath the visor, almost flush with the surrounding helmet shell, rather than hanging off the chin on a bracket. A traditional chin-mounted GoPro setup requires a separate mounting bracket and an external camera, which can shift position or add weight. GoPro describes the product as a fully integrated, tech-enabled motorcycle helmet, and its teaser shows riders on both the road and the racetrack.
Timeline
February 2024: GoPro completed its acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems.
2025: GoPro announced its partnership with AGV.
2027: The smart helmet is scheduled to arrive.
The Home Front
This development sits within the broader shift of action-camera makers into wearable protective gear rather than only selling accessories. It follows GoPro's 2024 Forcite acquisition, which was the company's first step toward integrated smart helmets.
If you already ride with a helmet camera, there is nothing to change yet, since the integrated model is not due until 2027. When you next replace your helmet, compare how any built-in camera is mounted and protected against a separate chin bracket.
The takeaway
Integrated camera helmets could remove the separate chin bracket that riders now carry, so check the mounting design when you buy. Keep your current helmet's manual and warranty paperwork on file until the new model's details are confirmed.
