Motorcycle owners have always faced a few challenges and trade-offs when considering a radar detector. A model that requires a power cord is definitely not optimal, unless you are interested in hard-wiring. Audio alerts can be difficult to hear while riding, and almost impossible if you're wearing a helmet. Depending upon your mounting location, visual alerts can even be difficult to see.

Because of these issues, there are special features that motorcycle owners typically look for in a detector. First of all, they are typically in the market for a cordless model. The drawbacks of a cordless radar detector are often much preferred to dealing with a power cord. Because of the difficulty in hearing alerts, a model with an audio jack is nice because it allows you to connect an external earpiece.

Until recently, there was no detector that was designed specifically for a motorcycle. This changed when Whistler released the Cruisader. The Cruisader requires installation, but it is perfectly sized to fit into a standard enclosure for a clean look. It offers a large, attention grabbing display. Also available for the Cruisader is a wireless alert display that attaches perfectly to a helmet!

Listed below is the Whistler Cruisader motorcycle radar detector, along with our cordless models. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
