Tired of having to stop on the side of the road to dig out maps to figure out where you’re going? Frustrated with confusing hand signals amongst your riding buddies? Missing the ability to bop to some tunes like you would while driving in your car?

These minor inconveniences can turn into bigger problems: Not being able to warn riding buddies about road conditions, turning into a crash. It can be a stressful challenge to help a new rider who may not yet be fluent in hand signals. Taking a wrong turn could lead you onto a sketchy road, and if you’re not paying attention, could put you miles off course.

The answer to all of these problems is a Bluetooth helmet communication system, and the Cardo Packtalk EDGE does it all; connecting you to other riders, offering hands-free communication, navigation, and entertainment.

What Is the Cardo Packtalk EDGE?

The Cardo Packtalk EDGE is the latest offering from Bluetooth headset communicator giant Cardo (the Packtalk Pro hasn’t quite been released yet). This Bluetooth helmet communicator attaches to your helmet, with speakers that fit snugly into cutouts within your helmet and a few different options for a microphone within your helmet.

Like other Bluetooth communication systems, the Packtalk EDGE allows you to listen to music, chat with up to 15 other riders, and connect with your phone to allow for in-ear navigation instructions and phone calls.
