Which Cardo should I get?

Here are some recommended Cardo communication units for motorcycle riders — from budget/basic use up to advanced group-ride gear, with pointers on what each is best for:

Best Overall / Group Riding

Cardo Packtalk Edge – Excellent all-round choice

• Supports Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) for up to ~15 riders and great group intercom reliability with auto-reconnect.

• Long battery life (~13 hrs) and good range (~1.6 km between units).

• Bluetooth + Mesh, natural voice control (“Hey Cardo”), waterproof and rugged for touring.
  Best if you ride solo and/or with others, want robust connectivity, and use GPS/music/calls frequently.

Mid-Range Group or Passenger + Buddy

Cardo Freecom 4x – Great Bluetooth intercom

• Connects up to 4 riders and pairs easily with phones for music/GPS.

• JBL audio and good range (~1.2 km).
  Ideal if you ride with a small group or passenger and don’t need full Mesh tech.

Cardo Freecom 2x – Simple Bluetooth for two

• Same reliable audio tech but focused on two-way communication (you + rider/passenger).
  Best choice if you mainly ride with just one other person.

 Entry / Solo Riding + Basics

Cardo Spirit HD Intercom – Budget friendly

• Basic Bluetooth intercom with clear audio and decent features.

• Shorter range and fewer advanced features than Freecom/Packtalk.
  A good entry option if you mainly want music/calls and occasional passenger chat.

Pro Tip: Packtalk units (Edge/Neo/Pro) use Cardo’s DMC mesh tech which auto-heals group connections and scales to large groups better than Bluetooth alone — great for club rides or touring with friends.
