Four flagship models in the PHANTOM Family earn elite safety certification, proving that smart connectivity and uncompromising impact protection can coexist.

IRVING, Texas — October 23, 2026 — Sena Technologies, Inc., the world leader in smart motorcycle helmet and communication technology, today announced a historic milestone in powersports safety and innovation. The PHANTOM Smart helmet family has officially received SNELL safety certification, making it the world’s first smart motorcycle helmet to pass SNELL’s rigorous impact testing standards.

The prestigious SNELL certification applies to small, medium, and large sizes across four distinct models within the PHANTOM Family:

• PHANTOM – The core smart helmet featuring integrated communication and sleek aerodynamics.
• PHANTOM XB – Built with Pulse Drive Matrix construction for the ultimate in-helmet audio experience. 
• PHANTOM Camera – Fully equipped with an integrated 4K camera for seamless, crystal-clear ride recording.
• PHANTOM ANC – Features active noise-canceling technology for unparalleled acoustic comfort without sacrificing situational awareness.

Passing SNELL’s exacting standards requires uncompromised structural performance and supreme impact energy management. By mastering this level of protection while seamlessly integrating precision electronics, camera housing, and active acoustic technology directly into the helmet’s architecture, Sena has set a new benchmark for modern helmet safety and design.

“Our mission at Sena has always been to elevate the riding experience through meaningful innovation,” said Tae Kim, CEO of Sena Technologies. “Passing SNELL impact testing with our PHANTOM helmets proves that complex smart technology and extreme protective performance can exist in complete harmony. We are proud to lead the industry into the future of safer, fully connected riding.”

While mandatory government standards, like DOT and ECE, represent the baseline legal requirement for road use, SNELL certification is a voluntary, independent benchmark that subjects helmets to far more demanding evaluation. The SNELL standard involves significantly higher-energy impact testing, severe localized stress tests using aggressive edge anvils, roll-off positional stability testing, and rigorous multi-impact evaluations targeting a single location. This ensures shell toughness and energy absorption that far exceed basic government mandates. Furthermore, unlike self-certified government ratings, SNELL enforces continuous compliance by independently purchasing retail samples directly from store shelves for ongoing lab re-testing.

SNELL Foundation certification is widely recognized by track operators, safety experts, and riders worldwide as the pinnacle of helmet safety standards, testing for higher impact energy management, shell toughness, and retention stability than basic government requirements.
