Do you really need a motorcycle intercom system?
Is this fancy gadget really an essential?
Motorcycle communicators or intercom systems are one of those gadgets that you never thought you needed, but once you’ve tried, you’ll never want to ride without. Truly, even basic motorcycle comms systems like the Parani M10 go a long way in terms of making your rides safer and more enjoyable. This is all the more true when it comes to premium setups like those from Cardo and Sena, which feature seamless connection and integration. Today, let’s highlight a few scenarios where a comms system could certainly prove beneficial.
Stay connected with the world around you
Having an intercom system allows you to stay connected with the world around you no matter where you go. Just like a hands free device, it notifies you of messages, calls, and other important notifications seamlessly and safely, without distracting you from the road ahead. High-end systems such as Cardo’s PackTalk even come with voice commands, allowing you to answer and reject calls, switch tracks, adjust volume, and toggle between various functions by simply giving voice commands. This is especially useful if you’re one who leads a busy lifestyle and needs to stay connected no matter where you go. Having a comms system in this instance grants you the peace of mind that you’re not missing out on anything important every time you go out for a ride.
Seamless coordination on group rides
Another scenario wherein communicators are essential is when you go out on group rides with your friends. While traditional hand signals can help your buddies become aware of potential hazards, obstacles, and changes in direction when you’re out on a ride, there’s nothing like being able to effectively and decisively communicate your intentions through a comms system. This is in fact, why nearly all of us on the MotoDeal.com.ph team decided to get comms: it helps us safely and effectively communicate with one another every time we ride, be it for work or for leisure.
Spice your ride up with some music
Those of you who commute on your motorcycle—be it a big bike or a small bike—on a day-to-day basis are all too familiar with how boring it can be to ride through traffic day in, day out. Certainly, having your favorite playlist playing in the background can add some enjoyment to your daily routine. Getting even the most basic motorcycle comms system can do just that, as it allows you to safely listen to music while on the go. Just make sure not to make the volume too loud, as you might not be able to hear what’s going on around you.
