INNOVV Third Eye Blind Spot Detection System Review
Motorcycle safety is paramount, especially in today’s traffic-heavy environments where visibility and awareness can mean the difference between a smooth ride and a close call. The INNOVV Third Eye Blind Spot Detection System aims to bridge the gap, offering riders an advanced safety solution to monitor blind spots and provide real-time alerts. After publishing an in-depth installation guide for this system, I’ve now put it through its paces in real-world conditions on my BMW R1250 GS Adventure. Here’s my honest review of its functionality, performance, and value.
Installation Recap
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a step-by-step guide on installing the INNOVV Third Eye on my BMW R1250 GS Adventure. The installation process was surprisingly straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions provided by INNOVV and my passion for digging into every detail. The system seamlessly integrates into the bike’s setup, offering a clean, OEM-like finish.

How It Works
The INNOVV Third Eye is designed to detect vehicles in your blind spots using radar technology. It provides visual and auditory alerts when a vehicle enters these critical zones. On my test ride, I focused on freeway scenarios where blind spot awareness is crucial.
- Visual Alerts: The LED indicators mounted on the bike’s mirrors are bright and easily noticeable, even in direct sunlight.
- Auditory Cues: The system’s beeps are loud enough to be heard over the engine and wind noise, yet not overly intrusive.
- Accuracy: The radar was impressively accurate, detecting vehicles promptly and without false positives during my test ride.
Real-World Testing
The freeway is a great proving ground for any safety tech, and the INNOVV Third Eye didn’t disappoint. During my ride:
- The system alerted me to vehicles approaching quickly from behind, giving me ample time to adjust my positioning.
- In heavy traffic, it proved invaluable by detecting cars lingering in my blind spots as I navigated between lanes.
- It functioned seamlessly even at high speeds, providing consistent and reliable alerts.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Easy installation with clear instructions.
- Highly effective visual and auditory alerts.
- Compact design that integrates neatly with the bike.
- Enhances rider confidence, especially in dense traffic or on highways.
Cons:
- Bluetooth connectivity to headset not available, this feature would be really helpful for audible alerts
- Requires careful positioning during installation to ensure optimal performance.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
The INNOVV Third Eye Blind Spot Detection System is a great addition to motorcycle safety. Its accurate alerts and seamless integration provide an extra layer of protection that’s particularly valuable in urban and freeway riding scenarios. While it’s not a budget-friendly option, the investment feels justified when you consider the safety and peace of mind it brings.
For adventure riders like me, who spend a lot of time on highways and in unpredictable traffic, this system is definitely worth considering. If you’re looking for a tech upgrade to enhance your ride’s safety, the INNOVV Third Eye is a solid choice.
