JBL PWSSPKCRUISECHAM 2.5" Chrome Handlebar Speaker Kit

The JBL Cruise PWSSPKCRUISECHAM is a chrome Bluetooth audio system designed for motorcycles and scooters. It places a pair of compact speaker pods at the handlebar or mirror-mount area, providing an alternative to using headphones while riding. The system is intended for riders who want straightforward music streaming from a Bluetooth-enabled phone or media device.

Each Cruise system uses two 65 mm (approximately 2.5-inch) transducers and built-in digital amplification. Its specified 90 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response is suited to music playback and spoken content in an open riding environment. The two-pod layout provides stereo audio from a compact, vehicle-mounted package.

Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity supports wireless playback and can retain connections for up to two phones. Supported Bluetooth profiles include A2DP v1.2 for stereo audio streaming and AVRCP v1.4 for compatible playback control. An integrated USB charge output can supply 5V/1A power to a connected smartphone while riding.

The Cruise is IPX5-rated for weather resistance and uses large onboard controls designed to be usable with gloves. Its housing combines metal and plastic materials, with a finish that can be customized by painting where desired. The chrome version provides a bright, motorcycle-oriented appearance while retaining the same core Cruise platform.

This system is an all-in-one audio upgrade with speakers and amplification built into the pods, so a separate head unit is not required for Bluetooth music playback. Installation uses JBL's mirror-integration mounting approach rather than a conventional car-speaker location. A vehicle-specific bolt kit is required and is not included with this PWSSPKCRUISECHAM package.

Design & Installation

The Cruise uses aerodynamic speaker pods with a chrome finish, durable metal-and-plastic construction, and large glove-friendly buttons. JBL specifies an IPX5 weather-resistance rating, and the housing is described as paintable for riders who want to coordinate it with their motorcycle or scooter.

Mounting requires the appropriate JBL mirror-integration bolt kit, sold separately for compatible M8, M10, and Harley-Davidson applications. Confirm the vehicle's mirror-mount thread size and direction before purchase: the Cruise mounting system works only with standard right-handed threaded mirrors. Position the pods for clear sound while ensuring the installation does not interfere with steering, mirrors, or normal vehicle operation.
