Cardo SHO-1, high-end intercom for Shoei helmets

A great idea, an intercom that thanks to its profile integrates perfectly with the helmet. It's something already seen in the motorcycle scene, a formula that is now also proposed by two large companies such as the American Cardo and the Japanese helmet manufacturer Shoei. The new Cardo SHO-1 It is a Bluetooth communication system that will adapt perfectly to helmets Shoei Neotec, Multitec, XR-1100, J-Cruise, Qwest, RJ-Platinum and Hornet-DS. The price, starting from 315 euros.

Thistle, an American company based in Pittsburgh, can boast of having been one of the first realities to produce motorcycle communication systems that adapt universally to any type of helmet. Current communications systems are typically mounted on one side of the shell and their shape, generally, influences aerodynamics causing hiss and turbulence. The new SHO-1 is a decidedly inconspicuous system, and can be installed in a short time in every Shoei helmet.

The intercom consists of two equal units by shape and size that attach to the bottom of the helmet without mechanical stops. Cardo is confident in declaring a talk time up to 13 hours, standby up to 7 days, 8/10 hours when listening to FM radio (with RDS and 6 preset stations) and a charging time of 3 hours; very important on long journeys, the possibility of replacing the battery body.

Cardo SHO-1 can connect with a maximum of 9 motorcyclists, with two mobile phones, is enabled for wireless reception of stereo music from compatible smartphones and MP3 players. Connected to the satellite navigator, it keeps you updated on the route to follow. Drive function a is provided voice control to never take your hands off the handlebars.
