Yeah, saw this as well. And though I'd like to get it, I may just upgrade my 20S to Sena's upcoming 10C Evo:

I currently have the Sena Prism camera I use with my 20S, but it's looking like the Prism's not going to get updated. So the 10C Evo looks to be the next best thing.

Of course this will be out mid 2017 I just went to a 20S pretty cool technology though.

+1 on the 20S which I just acquired in Nov. Even when riding alone, the Bluetooth stereo sound, phone connectivity and mic, are much superior to the Autocom system I've been using.

Not sure the 30K has anything new to offer based on their product description. Range is the same, maybe a plus in charging (4 hrs for 15 min charging), and I'm not sure how 16 people all on an open network would be productive vice the 7 or 8 available on the 20S. The new networking strategy does sound better for larger groups. Also, the ability to control everything by voice would be great. The 20S has some of that capability but . . . I have yet to figure that part out. ;)

Nice to see the technology continues to move forward.

I just upgraded to the 20S at the NYC MC show good price and I sold my SMH10s which made the price even better. Now I need the weather to be able to try them out.

Hey Steve, do you find the 20S to be better than the SMH10?

Mesh networking is a cool deal even for a few riders if they don't tend to keep a somewhat tight formation. For three or four maybe not so much.

One of the two guys I ride with has a CB and the rest of us nada. I wish there was a way to integrate both technologies but to me BT seems much simpler than CB. If we could squeeze a Sena into the CB helmet I'd get one for sure.

I haven't had a chance to use the 20S yet but it has some great features the SMH10 didn't have. I think the pairing is much easier with the 20S just shake them. I also like that the music doesn't cut off it just lowers if you get a phone call or GPS direction or intercom. No testing for me until after Christmas it is 21 deg. this morning going down to 10 with 50 MPH winds later.

My job requires being in a car much of the day, sometimes 30 minutes to 90 minutes at a time. When I got the Sena SMH5-FM I took my helmet to work and messed around with it during the day as if I was riding a bike. The helmet was lying on the seat nestled on it's side in a large towel but I could hear the Sena audio speakers and I could reach over and touch the buttons of the Sena and my phone for various commands. I got used to how to operate it like this so when on the bike I was familiar with it. When I upgraded to the 20S I did the same thing.

I was going to buy new 30K but Sena doesn't know for sure when they'll release it. Folks at Revzilla told me that they've (Sena) already pushed back the release of 30, so I went and bought 20s to switch from 10Us on my schuberts. I hear good things about 20s but when 30 comes out, I'll probably upgrade again...

Thanks for the info guys. I've been scouring Sena's site for other stuff and didn't even notice the 30K's NFSY status.
