Riders can also listen to turn-by-turn directions through their helmets, avoiding the need to check maps or handlebar-mounted devices. Built-in microphones and speakers eliminate the need for earphones, so riders stay connected while still hearing surrounding traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to partner with Gran Fondo National Series to introduce this easy-to-use, unobtrusive technology to cyclists throughout the United States. While other helmets only protect against the most serious injuries, the best measure against an accident is not to let it happen in the first place by constantly being in communication with your riders\u201d, said Jack Woo, Chief Business Development Officer at Sena Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-to-event-participants\"><strong>Benefits to Event Participants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a branding presence at all Gran Fond National Series events, SENA will provide products for swag bags, podium prizes, raffle giveaways at SENA Gran Fondo National Series events, enhancing the cycling experience for participants across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.sena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gran-Fondo-National-Series_news_03-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-316486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gran-Fondo-National-Series_news_03-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gran-Fondo-National-Series_news_03-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gran-Fondo-National-Series_news_03-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Gran-Fondo-National-Series_news_03.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-gran-fondo-national-series\"><strong>About Gran Fondo National Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2012 by event director Reuben Kline, the Gran Fondo National Series is the largest and most competitive series of gran fondo cycling events in the United States.
