Rugged Radios for Motorsport in New Zealand & Australia
Harris Race Radios™ is the Exclusive Official Authorised Distributor and Dealer for Rugged Radios in Australasia, supplying genuine radios, intercoms, helmet-audio kits, headsets, cables, mounts and accessories. We hold NZ stock and ship to Australia, with warranty support for the genuine range.
Our radio and race-engineering team can help build a communications setup around your vehicle, helmet, intercom and intended radio service. We advise on compatibility, installation, programming and repair where applicable. The correct choice depends on the exact equipment and whether its operating configuration meets the rules for its NZ or Australian use.
Aaron Harris brings experience as a racing driver and professional race engineer, including the Barcelona 24 Hour class win in 2013, Bathurst 1000 and 12 Hour competition, and engineering work across Porsche Carrera Cup in Australia, Asia-Pacific and NZ.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use every Rugged Radios product in NZ and Australia?
Accessories and radio transmitters are different. For a transmitting radio, check the exact unit, its certification, programming, frequencies, intended radio service and jurisdiction before operation. A US GMRS configuration does not establish NZ or Australian UHF CB approval. Ask us about a suitable setup for your use.
Do you offer warranty support in NZ and AU?
Yes, as the Exclusive Official Authorised Distributor and Dealer for Rugged Radios in Australasia, we support the genuine range across NZ and AU.
Can you install or repair equipment?
We can advise on installation, programming and repairs for applicable equipment. Rex’s official radio-certifier role concerns radio equipment, not helmet or other safety-equipment certification. Contact us with your models and intended use.
Do you ship to Australia?
Yes, we ship genuine Rugged Radios products to Australia.
