If you are in the lookout for a top of the range motorcycle communicator, you are in luck as Cardo Malaysia has just released the new Cardo Packtalk Edge.
- The Packtalk Edge is Cardo’s flagship intercom unit that sits above the Packtalk Bold.
- Features Bluetooth 5.2 and 2nd-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication.
The new Cardo Packtalk Edge features significant enhancements compared to the current Packtalk Bold.
Firstly, the Edge gets a minimalist design and gone is the pop-up antenna previously available on the Bold.
Also, the Edge features a new “Air Mount” system that uses magnetic mount – instead of the catch-and-tab mount on the Bold – with secondary latches that ensures the intercom sticks like a glue.
The magnetic features not only allow riders to mount the Edge effortlessly but also easily removable by placing a single finger on the front catch allowing the unit to slips out.
Other major improvement includes a faster charging time thanks to a new UBS-Type C cable that supports fast charging. Cardo Malaysia also claimed that the unit can last around 13 hours with every (full) charge.
Meanwhile, the Packtalk Edge now features second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) that allows connectivity between two to 15 devices with a range of up to 1,600 meters.
What do you get from the 2nd-gen DMC?
- simplified grouping
- wide-band intercomm
- enhanced noise filtering
- faster pairing
- natural voice operation
Pack in a fully waterproof case, the Packtalk Edge continues to features upgraded JBL speakers. We were informed that JBL not only works on the hardware but also the software to ensure the sound quality is top notch.
For now, the Cardo Packtalk Edge is only available as a single pack and retails for RM1,649 and comes with 3-year warranty.
