Sena Spider ST1 motorcycle intercom review - Sportsbikeshop

Superior mesh comms technology at a much lower price than its competitors, you say? Yup, but you really should check out the full story first. Here it is…

Got to say sports bike shop have to be the most informative bike accessories shop going, love the YouTube product demonstrations, also love the shop another fantastic review 👍🏻👊🏻

This is as an excellent review, thank you! I didn’t know that Sena has a a cheaper Mesh unit, which was something I really needed. Almost bought Cardo 2x not knowing this!

Just installed this in my wife's helmet - I have a Sena 30K and they connected instantly and sound crystal clear. If anything, her St1 sounds quite a bit louder even though I have the upgraded speakers in mine. Very pleased with the price too.

Tony, it is a great review. End up i bought two after watching your video. Just one thing i put it on a test on the mountain but i find the range is very limited (less then few hundreds meters) not as described by the product using group mesh. Do you know why? Any suggestions on the settings i can try? Thanks Tony for the great video 👍👍

[christopherthomas]

if you like your sena bluetooth communication but would also like to add mesh. Sena sells a unit called mesh+ that will easily allow mesh communication

[dardobartoli]

Hear's 'Sena insist on this for returns'... and thinks, best find a supplier who take responsibility for their own support as they're legally obliged to do in the UK.

Appreciate the video but come.on could of least said how u take the devise off the helmet clip

[raycas]

Do this item sena st1 have group intercom? If does how many riders can be connected?

[vijaythampy]

Thank you very much for the video - how does the built in aerial function? Does this pop up on its own?

I have a Cardo Freecom 4x and it’s interesting weighing up the differences between these two as they are essentially the same price. Have you tried the 4x? How does it compare to you? Obviously I know the 4x is Bluetooth only, but in your experience in a rider group of only 4 would you go for this or the 4x?

Underappreciated video review. Very good job on this one! Think I might buy one :)

Hi Tony, nice review.
I like to use a dedicated satnav for directions when on tour, will this unit allow me to pair it to BOTH a satnav and my phone at the same time? I presume it would need two bluetooth channels for this to work? Many thanks.

Hi Tony et al. It’s really frustrating that I can’t find in Sena website whether this intercom supports music sharing or not. I’ve bought a twin pack from Sportsbikeshop but I can’t make the music sharing work. Tony can you help me confirm whether this model is music sharing compatible?

[jadonx]

Will this connect to the UCLEAR MOTION INFINITY mesh system..two in my group use them and two have the CARDO edge?

[troymholmanify]

Have you updated the firmware to see if it would fix the audio multitasking? A friend and I got a pair of these today and couldn't seem to get it set right

[RhineRider.]

I just got the Spider RT1 and it's great. Only bad thing: You cannot disconnect it from the speaker/mic cable so it always has to be on your helmet. Even when charging etc.

Firmware update works over the air through the app. No usb cable needed :)

[andrewmanning]

Looks like good value - may look into it

[jeroenquint]

Hello, what was the range testing it with 2 units in mesh? Best regards, Jeroen

[KoZa]

Is it possible to pair this with other mesh devices from other manufacturers or not?

[christineroberts]

Hi Tony, I'm thinking of buying the Dual intercom to connect with my wife (pillion only). We are currently using an Autocom hard wired system which is on its last legs! We both want to hear the Satnav (which is possible with Autocom). Is it possible for us BOTH to connect with the Satnav with the ST1?
