What’s included in the Speedview box?
Speedview comes as a complete system ready to race, inside every box you will find: the complete headset system fitted to a Redraven premium Warrior goggle; also included is the SV Receiver and SVRX01 6V battery, receiver pouch, Speedbutton and transmitter with a speedbutton, 2 x Speedrolls and a spindle..
You will need to purchase separately 2 x AAA batteries for the transmitter unit and spare Speedrolls.
Does Speedview come with an instruction manual?
Yes, a quick start installation and setup guide. Further instructions and setup help can be found on the website >
Does Speedview come with a product warranty?
Yes Speedview products are warranted for 6 months from the date of purchase against defects in materials and/or workmanship. This warranty does not cover wear and tear on the motor drive unit or any other component or product. Coverage is valid only with proof of purchase from an authorized Redraven dealer. Redraven’s warranty program does not cover scratched lenses but replacement lenses can be purchased through your local authorized Redraven dealer or via our online store Speedview >>> .
Alteration to Speedview products and/or the use of non-branded Speedview specific batteries in the receiver unit or any other components excluding the transmitter unit will void all warranty.
Will pressing the Speedbutton activate other Speedview Systems?
No. Speedview has been specifically designed to transmit and receive a digitally encoded signal. (Similar to your cars remote lock/unlock key only more advanced). Once you have synchronised your transmitter and receiver units together they will only work and communicate with each other.
You can sync up to two different Speedview systems to a single transmitter, allowing you to have a practice system and a race only system.
How much does Speedview weight?
The Speedview headset alone weights approximately 196 grams excluding the battery pack at the back of the helmet which weights 109 grams, A standard roll-off goggle weights 171 grams – Speedview’s extra headset weight of 25 grams is due to the motor drive unit and the secured viewing area offered by the track and cover.
Speedview’s weight is well balanced on your head and face as the battery pack is located at the back of the helmet. Speedview’s transmitter weights approximately 100 grams but this weight isnt felt as the transmitter is mounted onto your bike.
All of our test riders and racers were questioned after the used the system in different whether conditions as to weather or not they thought Speedview was heavy or felt any difference while riding, each and everyone replied with the same answer – “i didn’t notice it at all”. Due to Speedview’s larger viewing area less mud is able to stick and weight down the system unlike a standard roll-off goggle.
You don’t need to take our word for it, feel free to try it on with your helmet the next time your at an off-road dealers.
What if the Speedbutton on the handle bar breaks during a crash?
The Speedbutton is very strong and robust but in the event of a crash were the Speedbutton is damaged Speedview has a backup switch on the receiver unit at the back of your helmet, simply tap the back of the receiver once it will activate Speedview.
It is recommended you should always activate the system to ensure you have your Speedview system synchronised correctly before starting a race. If in the event of a wireless failure check your batteries, make sure the leads from the receiver units are connected to the SV drive system, and make sure you have correctly synced both transmitter and receiver units together.
What if I damage Speedview or one of its parts, can I replace the broken part?
