Just give a quick search on any search engine for motorcycle helmet communicators, and you’re likely to see Cardo listed as the communicator of choice among riders. In a very competitive industry with cheaper alternatives on Amazon, Cardo’s done it again!
Following extensive research and development, and a complete overhaul of the entire component make-up of the PACKTALK series, Cardo Systems rolls out a new version of its Packtalk dynamic mesh communicator system.
New for 2022, the PACKTALK EDGE offers several innovations and improvements that are supposed to make it their best dynamic mesh communicator yet, and they wanted us to try it. The “Evening with an Edge” soft in-person launch event was held at Roland Sands Design in Long Beach, CA.
Event Space & Recap
The main event was held in Roland Sands’ workshop and design studio. Cardo had set up tables with a PACKTALK EDGE on each to handle. There were also Cardo sales techs to explain the technical details and functions of the unit. It was fun to play with and interesting to see in person.
