Installation & Compatibility

The JBL Cruise installs using your bike’s existing mirror mount threads, making it compatible with most motorcycles and scooters. It features a heavy-duty, weather-sealed wiring loom for power (12 V), and its mirror-mount design ensures a secure, vibration-resistant fit. Because the control buttons are large and glove-friendly, you can operate volume, Bluetooth pairing, and playback safely while riding. For customization, the pods’ housings are paintable to match your motorcycle’s finish.
