Tarmac Phantom has Tri-Mode Audio, a built-in subwoofer and a four-mode LED beacon headline this connected full-face helmet
Smart helmets usually fall into two camps: gadget-heavy but compromised on safety, or safe but silent. The HeadFox Tarmac Phantom tries to sit in the middle, wrapping a Bluetooth audio system and LED lighting inside a DOT and ISI certified full-face shell, at a price of Rs 6,999 (MRP Rs 9,999).
Audio is the star
The headline feature is Tri-Mode Audio, which lets you switch between internal audio, external audio and dual audio output depending on where and how you ride. A built-in subwoofer adds deeper, more balanced bass than the thin sound many helmet speakers manage. Music, GPS navigation prompts and Bluetooth hands-free calls all run through the same system, so your phone can stay in your pocket while your eyes stay on the road. For commuters juggling maps and calls, that is the real convenience.
Lighting that makes you seen
The Signature LED Beacon Light offers four lighting modes, aimed at improving rider visibility in changing road and weather conditions. Dusk commutes and rain-soaked evenings are where a helmet-mounted light earns its place. It also gives the Phantom a distinctive look in its glossy white finish.
Comfort, with a caveat
The Adaptive Comfort Padding is designed to conform to your face shape over roughly 14 days of regular use, so the fit improves as you ride. A Chin Strap On system keeps the helmet secure. At approximately 1,500 grams, however, the Phantom is on the slightly heavier side. In stop-and-go city traffic or a short run, you will barely notice it. On long-distance rides, though, the weight is likely to be a challenge, with neck and shoulder fatigue creeping in. It comes in M (58), L (60) and XL (62) sizes.
Backed by a warranty
HeadFox covers the Bluetooth and electronic components under a one-year warranty, excluding physical damage, which is reassuring since electronics are the likeliest failure point in a smart helmet.
What we would like to know more about
The spec sheet is silent on battery capacity, Bluetooth version and charging time, details tech buyers will want. Real-world Bluetooth stability and paint finish at this price are also worth checking before you buy.
