Tucano Urbano and Midland partnership: Smartcom is born, the helmet-integrated intercom
Combining tradition, innovation and a passion for two wheels, Tucano Urbano and Midland Europe announce a new strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the riding experience, focusing on safety, comfort and connectivity.
A benchmark in urban mobility for over 25 years, Tucano Urbano is the most pioneering brand of the MANDELLI Group, a leader in the distribution and production of motorcycle and bicycle accessories. Founded in 1945 as a moped workshop, the Brianza-based group has become a reference in Italy and abroad for those who live their two-wheel passion daily.
Midland Europe, based in Reggio Emilia with over 60 years of history, stands for innovation in mobile communication. Present in more than 90 countries, it is among the world's largest manufacturers of mobile communication devices.
Smartcom is born: the intercom that blends style and technology
From the synergy between these two Italian excellences comes a cutting-edge product, specifically designed and customized for this collaboration, combining style, maximum freedom of communication, and above all, riding safety.
Smartcom by MIDLAND: the latest-generation intercom, now available integrated into the new modular helmets HYPERLINK and FASTFLIP, the demi-jet EL’METTIN, or installable thanks to a dedicated fitting in these models as well as in the summer bestseller EL’FRESH.
Smartcom is a motorcycle communication system designed to guarantee connectivity and audio quality even in noisy conditions. It supports high-fidelity stereo audio transmission, with integrated features for music playback, GPS navigation, call handling, and intercom between rider and passenger or between riders up to 300 meters apart.
The intercom uses digital technology with advanced active noise cancellation algorithms, optimized to keep audio clear even at high speeds. It is compatible with integrated systems of major motorcycle brands, including BMW, KTM and Ducati.
A shared vision: more safety, more freedom
“Collaborating with the MANDELLI Group for Tucano Urbano allows us to take our vision of mobile communication to the next level, offering integrated solutions that combine comfort, technology and Italian style—perfectly aligned with the needs of today’s riders,” said Gabriele Torreggiani, Vice President of Midland Europe.
This partnership confirms the shared commitment to bring innovative, practical and safe solutions to market—capable of accompanying every rider in their two-wheeled adventures.
Florian Martin, Marketing Director at Mandelli Group, added: “We strongly believe in this partnership: integrating a next-generation intercom into our helmets means putting a safe, smart and satisfying riding experience directly into the hands of our users.”
Two Italian companies, one shared vision: delivering excellence, innovation and passion to everyone who chooses two wheels—whether for daily mobility or, better yet, as a way of life.
