Cardo Scala Rider G4 Wireless Headset for Biker Groups

Cardo Systems launched a new wireless Bluetooth communications for motorcycle helmet headsets, dubbed Scala Rider G4. The product is the first Bluetooth headset to offer group intercom between up to three riders as well as communication among two riders and their two passengers on two bikes at distances up to one mile.

The Scala Rider G4 features a noise canceling microphone and weather-resistant design. Talk time with the unit's rechargeable Li-Po battery is up to 10 hours and standby time is up to 10 days.

The G4 can connect with virtually any portable Bluetooth device including mobile phones, MP3 players and compatible GPS units (for in-helmet voice instructions). It can also connect with non-Bluetooth MP3 players, GPS units via its embedded jack.

Moreover, taking advantage of A2DP, the latest Bluetooth stereo music transfer technology, the G4 can receive CD-quality music from any MP3 player with A2DP capability. The device also has the capability of making spoken status announcements, telling users to whom or to which device they are connected to.

"Cardo's new scala rider G4 takes all the power of wireless communications and entertainment today and puts it in one amazing package. There's no Bluetooth headset on the market that revolutionizes a biker's riding experience like the G4," says Abraham Glezerman, CEO of Cardo Systems. "This is our most exciting motorcycle headset yet - a breakthrough that can greatly improve enjoyment and safety for single riders or groups, passengers and drivers alike."

The device fits virtually all half- and full-face helmets and can be self-installed in five minutes. The headset is now available with a suggested retail price of $279.95.
