Cardo has expanded their line of motorcycle intercoms with the unveiling of a new flagship device called the Packtalk Pro. The premium communicator not only boasts better sound equipment but also introduces a new crash detection system to the Packtalk line.

The device’s built-in crash detection utilizes a three-part system. According to Cardo, the unit sensors feel what your head feels, saving valuable response time when things go wrong. The Cardo Connect App then adds phone parameters and communicates to the Cardo cloud, which in turn informs your emergency contact, creating a crash detection system made specifically for on-road motorcycle riders. 

The company’s Crash Detection system is based on a perpetual learning algorithm. To ensure the technology is robust and accurate, Cardo has commissioned numerous crash test trials, as well as conducted extensive and ongoing field data collection from numerous riders around the world. With thousands of Cardo riders worldwide who will contribute to the continuous data analysis, Cardo says the current solution’s performance is just the beginning. 

Sound has also been upgraded in the new device. Powered by premium 45mm JBL speakers paired with an advanced sound processor, Cardo says the Packtalk Pro delivers arena-like audio whether listening to favorite ride-along music or talking to fellow riders. In addition, the Packtalk Pro turns itself on or off automatically. Once activated, the device will power down when standing still, and power back up for the ride to maximize battery-life. 

“The Packtalk Pro is the most advanced communication device we’ve developed in our history,” said Alon Lumbroso Chief Executive Officer, Cardo System.  “The introduction of crash detection and emergency alerts arms riders with a heightened level of security, taking what is already the most advanced and feature-rich system on the market and elevating it to a new level.”

The Packtalk Pro carries the features of other intercoms in the line-up including Waterproof IP67, Bluetooth 5.2, Over-The-Air Software Updates, fast charging, USB type-C, built in FM Radio, universal Bluetooth intercom, and a 3-year warranty.
