The SoundBomb

The loud bassy tone echoed through the valley, bouncing off the rocky walls.  Muted slightly by the conifers grasping the steep rocky façade like nature’s beard, the Denali Electronics SoundBomb Mini Electromagnetic Horn called out to the rescue team.  

​A rider, enjoying the gnarly terrain, miscalculated an obstacle and found himself at the bottom of the lonely ravine.  Unable to remove himself from his precarious situation, a call to the cavalry in the form of the electromagnetic low tone blast of his motorcycle horn acted as an SOS.  Luckily other riders heard the Denali scream.  The SoundBomb, twice as loud as the stock horn, was able to penetrate the dense valley covering and begin the process of motorcycle recovery from the wilderness trap…

​The motorbike screams down the paved pathway, leaning hard in the twisty turns.  Rider in bliss feeling the weightlessness of a perfect curve, perfect trajectory, perfect lean angle, perfect braking, perfect acceleration…the point of nirvana.  A motorcyclist’s dream.  As the rider exits the sweeping turn the dream quickly intensifies into a nightmare.  An unaware local is backing out of a hidden driveway and is on a collision trajectory.  The experienced rider quickly employs evasive maneuvers: downshift, brakes, and a healthy blast of a SoundBomb!  Denali to the rescue as the 4-wheeled operator hears the loud 113 decibel low tone horn and slams the brakes.  Our evasive rider was given the opportunity to find the appropriate exit path, thanks to a SoundBomb, from curve to stopped vehicle and safe passage onto the next twisty…

The group of riders was settling into the groove of the trip, enjoying a shared experience in the wilderness.  One by one, bike by bike, following the lead rider through beautiful old growth forests, over ridge lines, through valleys, and into small towns full of eclectic mom-n-pop businesses.  The occasional water crossing, rail trail, rocky hill climb, and other challenges under tire keep the riders on their toes and fully invested in the experience and in their bikes.  Comradery is forged through experiences, mankind's desire to seek out nature and all of the challenges that she presents.  The group comes to a stretch of open plain where they start to spread out to avoid riders and bikes breathing in the waves of dust kicking up from the knobbly tires.  The lead rider waits at the next turn and shoots off as the next in line approaches.  One by one the pattern is followed until a rider makes the turn and waits but not in clear sight from the rider behind.  As the rider behind powers past the turn the awaiting rider blasts his Denali Electronics SoundBomb Mini Electromagnetic Horn to gain the attention of the rogue explorer.  Twice the loudness of the OEM horn, the SoundBomb can’t be missed and puts our group back on the true path...

​At 113 decibels the distinct low-tone sound from the Denali Electronics SoundBomb Mini Motorcycle Horn is twice as loud as a typical 100 decibel disc horn. The SoundBomb is designed to be a direct Plug & Play upgrade from your factory horn requiring no additional relay or wiring harness as long as the original horn has blade-style electrical connections. When stock isn't quite enough, be heard with the SoundBomb Mini!
