Damon to unveil flagship motorcycle, the 'Hypersport Pro at CES 2020 in BlackBerry Limited's (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) booth #7515, North Hall.

#FutureOfMotorcycling Interactive Experience will be open to all CES attendees in the BlackBerry booth from January 7 - 10, 2020

Damon Motorcycles announced today that its CoPilot advanced warning system will be powered by BlackBerry QNX technology across its entire line-up of advanced electric motorcycles.

As part of the agreement, Damon has licensed BlackBerry QNX technology, including its industry-leading real-time operating system to serve as the safe and secure foundation for the Damon CoPilot warning system on its new flagship electric motorcycle.

Damon will unveil this disruptive, limited edition superbike, the Hypersport Pro, and open reservations to the public online and at CES at 10:00am PST, January 7th. In BlackBerry's booth, attendees will also be able to experience Damon's next generation motorcycle first-hand in the #FutureOfMotorcycling Interactive Experience, a rideable, leaning stationary motorcycle that uses virtual reality to showcase the motorcycle's unique features on the show floor. These features include its powerful all-electric performance, its CoPilot advanced warning system, and Shift, its patented rider ergonomics that lets riders electronically adjust the Hypersport's riding position while in motion. CoPilot uses radar, cameras and non-visual sensors to track the speed, direction and velocity of moving objects around the motorcycle.
