Radar alerts

The alert shows where you already look.

When the radar detects a vehicle in the next lane, the indicator in that mirror stem lights up. You see the warning beside the glass, so you do not need to look for a separate light.¹

The light is a backup, not permission. Glance, then change lanes.

Side by side

Better looking than stock.

The black-and-gold contrast gives the whole bike a sharper, tougher look.

Gold-tinted glass

A wider, clearer view behind you.

The gold-tinted glass cuts glare from headlights at night and from low sun during the day, so the view stays clear. The wide-angle surface shows more of the road behind you and helps reduce blind spots.

Folding

Folds in. Stays put.

Fold the mirrors in when you park or put the bike away. Fold them back out, set them once, and they stay where you put them.

Design

Black and gold, cut from aluminum.

Each mirror is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and hard-anodized against UV. The lightweight structure saves weight without giving up strength. The slim housing helps reduce wind drag for a steadier ride.

Details

Take a closer look.

  • Hot-forged as one piece on 5,000-ton equipment, so it stays strong and durable.

  • Designed with vibration simulation to reduce resonance while you ride.

  • High-precision CNC machining gives the base its strength and an accurate fit.

  • The slim, streamlined stem helps reduce wind resistance and holds the alert indicator.

  • Wide-angle, low-distortion glass with anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, anti-fog, and water-repellent treatments.

    Fit each mirror and tighten the included M10 bolts.

  3. Plug in and check

    Plug in the RM-1, secure the cable with the silicone ties, and check the indicators.

SR-1 Radar

No Riding Assistant? Add rear radar.

Pair the RM-1 with the CHIGEE SR-1. Its alerts show in the RM-1 stems, so you need no extra lights.²

How it connects. The SR-1 mounts at the rear of the bike and wires to the 12 V system. The RM-1 then plugs straight into the SR-1 main harness. The SR-1 user manual shows the wiring diagram.

Works with the SR-1

Add a screen to hear the alerts.

Pair the SR-1 with an AIO-5 or AIO-6 display. You see the radar alerts on screen and hear them through the display speaker. For BMW riders, the AIO-6 Max BMW bundle fits compatible BMW navigation cradles.

Questions and answers

Fit and setup

Which motorcycles does the RM-1 fit?

The RM-1 fits the BMW R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure. It replaces the original mirrors and mounts to the factory mirror points.

My bike has Riding Assistant. Do I also need the SR-1 Radar?

No. The factory Riding Assistant already provides the radar alerts. The RM-1 plugs into the factory mirror connector and shows those alerts in the stems.

My bike does not have Riding Assistant. Can I still use the RM-1?

Yes. Add the CHIGEE SR-1 Radar (sold separately). The RM-1 plugs straight into the SR-1 main harness, and the stems show the SR-1 alerts. Only the SR-1 needs wiring to the 12 V system, so please follow the SR-1 user manual.

Do I still need the SR-1 indicator lights?

No. With the RM-1 plugged into the SR-1 main harness, the alerts show in the mirror stems, so the standalone indicator lights are not needed.

Do I need to cut or modify any wiring?

The RM-1 never needs cutting or rewiring. With the factory BMW Riding Assistant, it plugs into the factory mirror connector. With the SR-1 Radar, it plugs into the SR-1 main harness, and only the SR-1 needs wiring to the 12 V system. Follow the SR-1 user manual.

Radar alerts

Does the RM-1 have its own radar?

No. The RM-1 does not detect traffic. It displays the alerts from the factory BMW Riding Assistant or from the CHIGEE SR-1 Radar.

What do the stem lights mean with the SR-1?

The RM-1 stems work the same way as the SR-1 indicator lights. A steady light means something is in that direction. A rapidly flashing light means something is closing fast and needs your attention. The light is a backup, not permission, so glance before you change lanes.

Can I adjust the SR-1 alerts?

Yes. In the CHIGEE GO app or on a compatible CHIGEE display, you can adjust the sensitivity and set the activation speed to 0, 10, 30, or 50 km/h (0, 6, 19, or 31 mph). Lower settings suit city riding.

Can I hear the radar alerts?

With the SR-1 paired to an AIO-5 or AIO-6 display, sound alerts play through the display speaker. They do not play through a Bluetooth headset. The XR-2 does not show SR-1 alerts on screen.

Why do alerts not always start at 70 m?

The SR-1 times each alert to the relative speed of the vehicle behind you. A fast-closing vehicle triggers an earlier alert, and a slow one triggers a later alert. This keeps unnecessary alerts low.

Mirror and compliance

Is the glass anti-glare?

Yes. The RM-1 uses gold-tinted glass with an anti-glare (AG) coating. It reduces glare from headlights and strong light.

Is the RM-1 waterproof?

Yes. The RM-1 is rated IP68 against dust and water, so you can ride it in the rain. IP68 does not cover high-pressure jets, so do not aim a pressure washer at the stems.

Can the mirrors fold?

Yes. Each mirror folds inward about 130° for parking, storage, or tight trails. Damping and friction layers in the joint hold the mirror where you set it. Fold them back out before you return to the road.

Is the RM-1 certified?

Yes. An independent lab tested the RM-1, and it meets CE, FCC Part 15 Class B, EU RoHS, and AS/NZS CISPR 15. E-mark approval under UN ECE R10 is in progress.

Is the RM-1 road legal in my country?

Approval requirements vary by country, and E-mark approval under UN ECE R10 is still in progress. Contact CHIGEE to confirm the RM-1's status for your country before ordering.

Still have a question? Visit the Knowledge Base or contact support.

  1. The RM-1 does not perform radar detection. Alerts require the factory BMW Riding Assistant with Lane Change Warning, or the CHIGEE SR-1 Radar (sold separately). Radar performance depends on the radar system, the environment, and surrounding traffic. Always check your mirrors, stay aware of road conditions, and make riding decisions based on your own observation and judgment.
  2. SR-1 alert timing depends on the relative speed of surrounding traffic. Heavy rain and road spray can reduce detection. The rear strobe is less visible in bright daylight and does not replace a dedicated warning light.
  3. See the RM-1 user manual for compatible model years and wiring requirements.
