ASMAX RoamX: the first motorcycle intercom with a built-in screen

On a group motorcycle trip, communication is safety and pleasure rolled into one: warning of a hazard, calling a fuel stop, staying in touch when the road stretches out between riders. Until now, intercoms were operated blind — buttons, voice prompts, an app on your phone. ASMAX is changing that with the RoamX, previewed at EICMA in Milan on November 8, 2026: the world’s first motorcycle intercom headset with a built-in screen.

The screen is the change that matters most. No more guessing whether pairing worked or which group you are in — you can see it. The display is customizable, with themes to choose from, and it manages the device’s core functions. For a group setting out for several days — a run through Gaspésie, a loop around Lake Superior, a crossing of the Rockies — seeing the connection status at a glance is one less thing to manage on the road.

The RoamX talks in Mesh to up to 32 riders. Thirty-two is far more than an ordinary group of friends — it is the size of a club, an organized tour, a rally. The device is built around a new-generation chip, after more than two years of development, and it carries an enhanced AI voice assistant. On the sound side, ASMAX claims a 53 mm speaker, an industry first according to the brand, with professional-grade audio tuning. It remains to be tried: speaker size is not everything, and comfort inside the helmet will matter as much as volume.

The RoamX did not come out of nowhere. ASMAX had already unveiled it in September at CIMAMotor in Chongqing, China, at an event called “BORN TO RIDE”. Milan was therefore a European preview — and to be honest, what the brand showed there were functional prototypes. The final product, its definitive specifications and its behaviour on the road are still to be confirmed.

ASMAX used the occasion to launch its racing program, with two special editions: the ZXMOTO Ride Edition, developed with Chinese performance motorcycle brand ZXMOTO, and the Debise Racing Edition, created with Valentin Debise, a professional World Supersport rider and the brand’s global ambassador. The brand also showed the S2, a Mesh intercom at a more approachable price, to open group communication to more riders.

Another announcement: the ASMAX Open Road Program. The brand will offer grants to selected riders to make their dream journey or a creative motorcycle project happen. The program starts in Europe and Southeast Asia, with global expansion planned — applications go through asmaxconnect.com. For Quebec travellers dreaming of a big trip, it is worth keeping an eye on.

One question matters most for us: neither the price nor a precise availability date has been announced. Launch is targeted for 2027, with no further detail. For Canada, nothing is confirmed either — no price in dollars, no distribution, no warranty. Screen size, battery life, real-world range, weather protection and compatibility with other brands have not been published. We cannot yet say whether the RoamX will become a serious option for riders here, but the direction is promising.

For group travel, a screen on the intercom is a small revolution: less guessing, more contact, and a group that rides together instead of losing sight of each other. We will follow its arrival in Canada in 2027 — and try it as soon as we can.
