I like the SENA units. I have a pair of the 20’s. I use them on the street and have started to use them off road as well. I used to use a chatterbox unit on the street but the SENA is far superior in my opinion.

No worries. I should mention my SENA is 10 years give or take newer than my chatterbox so the newer tech and smaller size could be most of why I like it so much more.

Scala rider is another common brand. I have no personal experience with them but had I not caught a smoking amazon deal on my SENA pair I could have easily gone with that brand as well.

I will check on those too. Trying not to spend a fortune on a set since the wife doesnt always go with me but would be nice to have.

Just my .02.. but innthis part of the world, the places that “require” them typically don’t enforce that. It’s more for liability.

I have the uclear brand because they were priced better than sena and rated more durable. They are fine on our quads, but when my wife is passenger on the street bike they aren't good. They have just enough delay that we no longer use them when next to each other. I wouldn't recommend them for use in the pioneer.

@JTW around here the state parks check and patrol on the weekends. We try and ride on a weekday and simply carry them in the pioneer in case.

Thank you Firemedic530 for you advice on the comms.
My Grandkids are getting to riding age and helmets are a MUST for them. Im a Lead by Example kind of guy. Thanks again for your input!

I too have been contemplating the wife and I wearing some type of helmet while riding the trails.
I have a few questions on these type of helmet comms. Can you add analog audio inputs and stream music ? A majority of this group use UHF/VHF radios for large group rides.. I would have to be able to hear it when needed.

These work great

Got these years ago for riding our atvs (vintage now), VOX. Many options for a pair of FRS radios to keep in touch with others on group rides, and bluetooth for music. Pretty reasonable for near line of sight. Full face helments are also so nice in cold weather. Good thinking about kids.

Rugged radio makes an intercom system.. it seems a pit pricy but I have not done any comparing or research into

My SENA does Bluetooth for sure (GPS and music). I believe there is a 3.5 mm input jack as well but I have not used it. I will check tomorrow (if I remember).

My old chatterbox definitely had a 3.5 mm input jack.

Confirmed...My SENA (I have the 20S model) does have a 3.5 mm input jack as well.

Senas work great. 4 years and counting.
