Motorcycling has never been a budget-friendly business – at least, not for me.
From the scads of cool gear and updating top-tier safety regulations to the stunning new bikes being punted out into the Powersports industry proper, there’s too much good stuff to throw money at – and that includes the latest addition to Cardo’s range.

According to RideAPart, the Packtalk Neo packs a wallop of a deal; $349.95 USD places her smack in between the Packtalk Edge and the Freecom 4X, replacing the Bold and sidling up next to the Black – though RideApart’s coverage guesses that “those products probably will not be there in the near future.”
Perks of this baby include a Dynamic Mesh Communication system (DMC), and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity to accompany 40mm JBL speakers. The upgraded Natural Voice engine does wonders in tandem with the noise-canceling microphone and 13-hour battery life, too – all elements shared with the Packtalk Edge.
Finish the package with a USB-C charging port, over-the-air software updates, and the sleek antenna-less design, and you’ve got a subtle bit of tech that does an awful lot for the size.

“With a beautiful, sleek, and clean design, the Packtalk Neo is the perfect complement within our expansive range of communicators, delivering another option for riders to enjoy the open road without sacrificing the best-of-the-best technology.”
One thing’s for sure; with comm units like this one gradually providing more perks for fewer pence, we look forward to the front-row gander of motorcycle technology for the future.
