This is awesome to find. My wife and I are getting back to biking. I have several Sena intercom systems from previously riding dual sport motorcycles. It is so nice to see you guys making them for mountain bikes now as well.
I love my sena equipment, it has always worked and saved many a rider being able to warn them of hazards on the trial.
Thanks agian and keep up the great work friends.

I am from Fort Worth, Texas, I am totally blind. I am getting into tandem cycling. This sounds like what we have been looking for myself and my captain. But it seems like from all the other comments that the helmets have sound quality issues. So maybe the company could partner with a speaker company such as Skullcandy or Bose And try to use some of their technology in the helmet. It shouldn’t raise the price anymore than what they already are the helmets already pretty pricey, but this is an suggestion to help out the sound quality issues.

Thanks for this. I was having real trouble figuring out the differences from the Sena website.

People should be aware that with helmets using rechargeable batteries (all SENA helmets), the battery will fail to take an adequate charge after going through enough recharging cycles. Then you're left with a plain old helmet, no tech. It's the same battery situation as a cell phone, just with a smaller battery. For my Sena R1 helmet this happened after about 2.5 years of light use. In this case, as in most SENA helmets, the batteries are NOT replaceable, and your helmet will be out of any warranty period. You're just out of luck. Check out the Sena forums. There are MANY complaints about this.

is the mesh of the M1 evo compatible with the motorcycle systems? So if you ride in a group with supporting motorcycle all can communicate?

[SugarPatchMaker]

I am interested in the Bikom 20 that we can use with our existing helmets without a lot of wiring. I can't seem to find any videos on it.

How did that red BELL helmet get in there?

[BlessedOne]

Sound quality is really poor. Music volume keeps going in and out and when connected via mesh, voice volume is so low we cannot hear each other. Really was hoping that this would work

[thomaspomeroy]

Biking in the Rain? Are these affected by water?

[tangosierra]

If you are riding with a few riders all connected on mesh will all riders be listening to the playlist from my phone or is mesh just voice only? Maybe it's just the bluetooth helmets that would allow this? What happens if I get a phone call while we’re all listening to music from my phone, does the music pause and everyone hears my phone call? Thanks

[MrGoodaches]

All I’m looking for is an intercom capability for wife and I to not need to shout when we are MTB and bikepacking. What is the most basic model that will provide intercom capability. Mesh is OK.

[lifeinitaly]

I bought an R2 Evo ( Mesh ) - The helmet is well-designed and easy to use but the sound quality from the speakers is worse than the old mono AM radio

Czemu nie mogę połączyć kasku Ewo M1 z M1?

[ericbouv]

I never wear helmet (live in France). I would like to wear mesh or bloutousse, however... Great hats.

[nagakk]

anyone thinking of buying, please note cycling helmets have 2 years lifespan.
It is NOT safe to use beyong 2 years.

[Schimon]

Very unique but they are way too uncomfortable.
