So now that we decided for Cardo, we had to decide on the model. The times we’ve ridden with more than four people, can be counted with the fingers of one hand. For us, this doesn’t matter too much though. The Freecom 4x uses bluetooth 5 for rider to rider communication, which allows for up to 4 users. The Sena Spider has one big advantage over the Cardo: it has Mesh technology, which allows for more users to connect (up to 24 for the Sena Spider). Fortnine says Cardo is better (please note this video was made before the new models were released).But somehow they seem to be a tad more difficult to use / setup. Usually it’s just a setting or configuration option of some kind, so I’m not saying Sena’s are bad. Whenever users have problems with sound, 7 out of 10 times they have a Sena. As developer of the Scenic Motorcycle Navigation app I frequently get feedback and questions about motorcycle com sets.I had good past experience with the 10 year old Schubert SRC system (which is based on a Cardo Scala Rider).We decided to go for Cardo for three reasons: Sena released the Spider series, an affordable mesh communicator, while Cardo introduced their (non-mesh) Spirit and FreecomX series (not to be confused with the older Freecom+ series). Both brands recently came out with new models in their line-up. With this in mind there are really only two brands to consider.
There are many motorcycle com sets out there, including numerous cheap Chinese ones, but we wanted to go for a proven, well known and reliable A-brand, even though you pay double or even more for those. So, we decided to get a motorcycle com set. Me an my riding buddy Tom had a 2000 km / 1250 mi motorcycle trip coming up, and decided it would be nice to talk to one-another during the ride.
