The Sena APEX Series brings a new generation of streamlined motorcycle communication systems to the road. With Bluetooth 6.0, second-generation 40 mm HD speakers, AI-based noise cancellation, up to 20 hours of talk time and an IPX7 waterproof rating, both the Sena APEX and APEX Plus are designed to keep communication simple, clear and dependable.
The crucial choice is group size. The standard Sena APEX provides two-way rider communication, while the Sena APEX Plus supports conversations between as many as four riders. Each is available from Moto Central as a single unit or a money-saving dual pack.

Bluetooth 6.0 and a 1.6 km Intercom Range
Both versions use Bluetooth 6.0 and offer a claimed open-terrain intercom range of up to 1.6 km, or one mile. This gives riding partners useful separation on open roads, while the updated platform supports quick pairing and stable everyday communication.
Second-Generation HD Speakers and AI Noise Cancellation
The new 40 mm HD speakers measure just 9 mm thick, helping them sit neatly inside the helmet without unnecessary pressure around the ears. AI-based noise cancellation is designed to reduce distracting background noise so voices remain easier to understand while riding.
Voice command support and an integrated FM radio add convenience, allowing riders to manage key functions and enjoy entertainment without complicating the setup.
Replaceable Battery and Wireless Charging
A modular, replaceable battery is one of the APEX Series' most practical upgrades. Up to 20 hours of claimed talk time covers long days in the saddle, while a spare charged battery can be swapped in when the journey continues.
Charging options include USB-C, the supplied dual battery charger and Qi-compatible wireless charging. The main battery takes approximately two hours by USB-C, while the dual charger takes approximately two and a half hours.
Glove-Friendly Controls
New Thumbwheel
The large thumbwheel is designed for confident adjustment with riding gloves. Dedicated quick-pair and intercom buttons reduce the need to remember complicated button combinations.
Automatic Power Control
Automatic power on and off helps make everyday use feel natural. Fit the unit, start riding and spend less time managing the device before and after each journey.
App-Based Setup
The Sena Motorcycles App supports configuration and over-the-air firmware updates, keeping settings and software management together on a compatible smartphone.
Magnetic Mount and Custom Faceplates
A magnetic mounting system allows the main unit to attach neatly to the helmet installation. Interchangeable faceplates provide a simple way to alter the appearance, with two faceplates included in the package.
IPX7 Waterproof Protection
With an IPX7 rating, the APEX Series is designed to cope with wet-weather riding. Its specified operating range of -20°C to 55°C also makes it suitable for a wide variety of touring and commuting conditions.
