BONX, the Japanese technology company founded by avid snowboarder and outdoorsman Takahiro Miyasaka, is proud to announce its formal entry into the U.S. and Canadian for outdoor enthusiasts. BONX is a revolutionary communication device that allows active users to be in touch clearly with no area limitations.

Successfully crowdfunded in late 2016, BONX Grip is a state of the art Bluetooth earpiece that enables cellular network-based group communication with up to 10 users – anywhere in the world. This BONX Grip product predominantly targets outdoor athletes and adventurers across running, snow sports, biking, cycling, fishing, climbing, airsoft and more.

“Based on my own experience snowboarding around the world, I recognized there was a universal need for better hands-free communication, enabling enjoyment of the outdoors with no distractions of pulling out a phone from a pocket or dangling ear phone cables. The scope of the opportunity was only strengthened via strong interest from international distributors at tradeshows and excitement from global top-tier athletes”, says Founder and CEO Takahiro Miyasaka, “We chose North America as the first step of our global expansion, because of the variety of sports and activities everyone participates in. As a brand innovating the way people go out and play, we found the Pacific North West to be the best fit, as this is where technology and the great outdoors call home.”

“This Wearable walkie-talkie could change the way we experience outdoor sports.”
