New Scala Rider Q2

[davidr]

There is now a replacement for the Scala Rider system which includes a bike to bike intercom with up to 2 other Scala units (making it theoretically superior to the interphone system, which can only be paired with one other headset).

I haven't tried it yet, but here are the details:

• Designed and Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance.
• Bike-to-Bike intercom communications among up to three bikers within a range* of up to 500 m / 1,640 ft.
• Rider-to-Passenger communications:Passenger may also conduct mobile phone calls or listen to the FM radio independently.
• Full Duplex: No longer the walkie-talkie syndrome where one party can only speak when the other is silent. The scala-rider Q2 allows simultaneous speaking and listening between bikers and passengers.
  
  
  MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS
• To a Mobile Phone – receive incoming calls by voice command and initiate calls by one-button push and voice command
• To a GPS unit – receive audio instructions via headset
• To other scala-rider Q2 Headsets – Communicate in parallel with up to two other scala-rider Q2 headsets within a range of up to -
  500 m / 1,640 ft.*
• Communicate with a scala-rider headset within a range of 10 m / 33 ft.
• To the embedded FM Radio

I just got back from a one-day trip using two scala rider Q2 headsets and I am hooked. This baby does everything promised on their website and frankly, even better. Switching between rider-to-pillion and rider-to-rider was a breeze and the audio quality is fabulous. The only downside so far is the lack of communication between multiple bikers but I guess that we'll see somtheing along these lines from Cardo sometime soon. Bottom line: Get your Q2 ASAP and see for yourself.
