Innovv N2 Smart Riding System
Why the Innovv N2 May Be The Best Motorcycle Upgrade in 2026.
The Ducati Hyperstrada 821 has been the workhorse of this channel for years. It’s the dependable camera bike, the long-haul mule, the one that never complains. But it’s dash… wow. It’s essentially a speedometer with attitude. No navigation. No media. No accident-proof recording. Just an analog-era interface staring back at me like a relic.
That’s why I finally installed the INNOVV N2 smart riding system — and the difference is massive, even if the bike itself didn’t change. Instead of gluing my phone to the bars and praying vibration doesn’t kill it, I now have a purpose-built display that actually belongs on a modern motorcycle.
Here’s what it’s like to live with the N2, what it does well, and where it still has room to improve.
What the INNOVV N2 Actually Is
At its core the N2 is a smart motorcycle cockpit upgrade, combining:
- A 5.99” capacitive touchscreen for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto navigation and media.
- A dual dash cam system (front and rear) for continuous recording.
- Built-in GPS with 10Hz update rate for smooth tracking.
- Optional TPMS support and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity.
This isn’t a tiny battery gadget or a cheap phone mount. It’s a permanent, integrated system designed to replace your outdated dash with something that feels intentional and purpose-built.
Install Reality Check
The system ships with everything you need: the display unit, cameras, wiring harness, GPS, and mounts. But this isn’t “plug and play” like a phone mount. It wants a proper install.
- You must tap switched power (one that turns on with the bike).
- On older bikes without an accessory feed, creative solutions are required (for example, tying into a switched light circuit like the license plate).
- Thoughtful wire routing, clean mounts, and calm hands pay dividends down the road.
Do the install right and it feels like it was always meant to be there.

Real-World Use: What Works
Navigation & Screen Quality
The nearly 6-inch display is big enough to glance at your route, turn by turn, without turning your head toward your phone. It’s bright enough to read in sunlight thanks to roughly 800–1000+ nits of brightness, and works with gloves on. 
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto lets you use familiar navigation apps, music, and communications without compromising safety.
Dash Cams That Actually Record
The front and rear cameras record in high quality (many setups use 2K Sony sensors) with H.265 compression, loop recording, and GPS tagging. 
Footage is easy to pull off via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — no wrestling with microSD cards buried under the tank.
GPS That Tracks Right
With a 10Hz GPS module, the system updates position ten times per second, giving smoother track data and more accurate speed logs compared to older 1Hz units. 
Built for the Elements
IP67 weatherproofing means dust and rain aren’t going to sabotage the system. It’s designed for real road use, not gentle garage storage.

Final Thoughts
Adding the INNOVV N2 brought my bike’s cockpit fully into the modern era without changing what makes the bike special. Navigation finally works the way it should. The cameras record in the background without me thinking about them. And my phone stays tucked safely in my pocket instead of slowly vibrating itself to death strapped to the bars.
More than just a gadget, it feels like the interface the bike always deserved; clean, intentional, and built for real riding.
