Very Helpful video.. although I spent ages trying to pair the G9x with my Android phone. Worth mentioning that you need to download the latest software and hold the phone button down on the G9x for 5 seconds or more to see the red and blue flashing lights before the unit will pair with the phone. :)
Got my Scala Rider G4 about 8 Months ago, couldn't ride without it, Music, Chatting to other biker mates with it when on rides etc.
It's honestly a brilliant bit of kit.
I have no real problems with it, just little things and when my first one did go wrong Cardo (or their UK representatives) changed my Scala Rider G4 over for me all for the cost of postage, very helpful.
However been thinking of Upgrading it, so good timing on the Review - thank you Sir!
Good review, Russ.
Interesting, I use the Sena SMH10 - many similar features but one notable difference: When my phone rings, I can hear the ringing tone but am also still able to talk to Wifey until I press the button to accept the call. Once I accept the call it cuts off the comms, but I can press a button and make it a conference call. I'm surprised that the scala cuts off the comms when the phone rings, I can see why that's your one disappointment.
There seems to be no wind cancellation on the Sena's - which is a shame. Also the mic and earpieces are either fixed in or have some plug on which matches nothing else. The other thing I found annoying is that you cannot patch/bluetooth the sound from the Senas into the Drift Ghost to record both voices (when we ride together) onto the video soundtrack.
as always - top notch mate - cheers and ride safe.
I just bought the Q3 teamset with my brother. Very exited about the package and the load of accessories you get from Cardo. It looks all very professional. We do still have to test the set on the bikes. Looking forward to that :-)
You'll love it but as I say, if you get problems, be patient, it's most likely something simple. :-)
The sticky pads is a great improvement. it sure looks a lot better than my ancient Multiset! LOL. Thanks for the review!
This review is actually the niche I need to convince my girlfriend to start riding. She's always said she wouldn't like to get a bike because we can't chat to each other, when really it's just because she's shit scared of riding a motorcycle. Now she's got no excuse. :)
Was almost going to buy one of these until I found that the new Sena 20s can pair with any brand/model headset (the G9 can't I believe) which is great as it doesn't matter what headset the person you ride with is using, you can still talk.
Thanks for that video- i found it informative and easy to follow. Cheers
Thanks for your very helpful review.
We put 120.000 odd kms on our seven year old Q2 rider to pillion, before first the helm and then the rider unit gave out (I still got a sweetly working pillion part, if anyone needs one). Being caught out on along Scandinavia trip we could only get the GX9 in a rush.
Both coms got a wee bit of an echo at very close, non riding range, but that disappears with engine noise.
We made a bit of a mountain trying to pair them and the mobile via Garmin IV, but thanks to another youtube clip, that turned out much more simple than our first failed attempts.
If its the driver's new helmet or I-coms, G9x is a huge improvement, particularly at above 140kmh - almost eerily quiet...and ,yes,volume levels adapt well to changing outside noise levels. A good panic buy!
Cheers, from Germany
I hate that you are making me think about upgrading ;)
Excellent information, as ever.
Now to start saving
thanks for the review. i enjoyed it
Great review, very, very helpful. Thank you.
After watching this video, I think one of these is on my Christmas list.
Do you edit in the talking or does the mic from your action camera pick up the sound from your Scalarider?
thank you, great review, i really like that i can use my own earphones, as i use the in ear , earphones,
a bit pricey though on your website, but still thank you for your review,
Thanks, it hepled alot.
Informative video Russ, cheers.
Going off topic a bit, you ride a Pan European. I currently, did ride a ZZR1100 which is now off the road due to damage, which i cant get the bits for. I'm a big fan of Delboy's Garage and was thinking Harley for my next bike, but have been offered a 1999 Pan from a local dealer for £2000. I ride all year round so the Pan would be a better choice for the weather, comfort etc etc, and would generally do 60-80 miles per night while on jobs. Now, as an all rounder bike, would you recommend the Pan or does she fall short in certain aspects?
I know a Harley would be amazing fun, but riding one through the crap weather, with all the Gerbings connected be sucking eggs compared to the big Honda?
Keep up the good work as your vids are very informative, and great watching while sucking a few Ales :o)
Been looking at the scala riders for awhile now and this video has made my mind up for me :-) gonna go for a powerset and split price with my mate! Is the 10% off still available?
Great review :-)
I have had the g9 for 4 months now and would reccomend to any one me and mrs use them all the time the stand by time is a long long then a week tbh they are the best accessory you could ever have
Now we have them we feel we can't ride without them now. We have such fun and it enhances our ride as you'll probably find too. I'll never be without these now.
How do you find the talk time\battery life when phones and sat nav units are also paired to the headsets? Older versions lasted 5 hours plus without extra items paired but 2 hours max as soon as you paired it with a non-headset device.
Hope you'll also review the Sena 20S which I am interested in
I can't decide between the G9X and the new Sena 10R (I'm not even considering the Sena 20S anymore as its not even water resistant according to a Sena rep!!!) The main reason I fancy a 10R is that it allows you to communicate with people that are using none Sena devices. Does the G9X have this function? Any advice would be appreciated.
@Lokedemon I used the helmet cam to record the Scala messages
I'm planning on getting on of these units soon. Trying to see if a friend wants to split the cost first. I'm in the US, or I would be ordering from you. Yes I know by the flag you may not think I am in the US, but I was born in the UK.
Great video
How do you connect the mp3 cable for only your mp3.
Can you still wirelessly connect to the gps and phone and connect an mp3 player with a cable to the headset with the microphone and speakers connected?
Hello Roadcraft...just stumbled onto your video while searching for coms. Are you still liking the G9X?When your on the road with your wife and intercom is connected will it stay connected or does it time out?If it times out how can you reconnect?
I've got the Q1 Teamset. It's fantastic. It was great while my son was getting used to riding pillion because he could ask me to slow down/speed up etc without having to shout.
I'll have to upgrade to one of the distance units next year when he gets a bike. I think it will be invaluable when we ride out together. I will be able to correct any mistakes as soon as I see him making them etc etc.
Another Scala Rider fan, they're superb aren't they? Makes me wonder how I did without them. :-)
RoadcraftNottingham I love the thing. My only complaint is that my MP3 player is connected via cable and the volume needs to be higher than I would like for the unit to register that the MP3 is operating.
All in all, a brilliant product though.
Go for a pair of Q3 and you can go totally wireless through your phone AND share with your passenger (not that your son would like your music choice!) lol
Hi,
How have you connected the headset into your camera in order to record the conversation and video?
I'm just wondering what this will be like using it with an open face while riding a bike without a screen. What does it do with the wind noise on the open road? I used a pair of Interphone F4's for a while, but the moment one left urban areas onto the open road it just was not up to the wind noise.... Are these better?
Out of interest, have you ever used any of the Scala comms systems with an open face helmet? I ride a chopper and don't like to wear a full face helmet as I don't think it looks good. However at the same time I'd like to be able to talk to my girlfriend who is riding with me. I suppose I could just buy the unit and take my chances, but at nearly £400 it seems to be too pricey for a pun in case they don't work as well with an open face helmet. Any feedback that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
@Stuart young .. Talk time is up to 13 hours with 1 week standby. (by the way, I can't reply to your comment, not sure why not)
I know this is a little of track as this is a demo. on the G9X but as you sell these i thought you might be able to help. Do you know of anyone who has fitted the Cardo Sho-1 to their shoe NXR helmet and how successful this was in terms of fit?
Will the intercom work with the Schuberth SRC system?
What earplugs to you use while riding where your able to hear your comms and music? I've been wanting to listen to music while riding but also want to protect my hearing. Any advice is appreciated in advance, Thanks.
I personally don't use earplugs but friends have said it doesn't affect the music at all.
How does a sat nav link into the unit, is it easy. Can a sat nav app on an iphone talk through it. These may sound daft questions, but I am thinking of getting some such equipment and so have no real idea of how well certain combinations work.
Just a thought if heelless USA lady bought from yourself would it be vat free, that would help cover the postage costs.
you didnt cover pairing GPS what it was intended for ?????
Thinking about ordering a set of these but noticed on Revzilla there are a couple of reviews complaining about the volume level being too low. I want a set for touring and always wear earplugs so just wondered what you thought?
I didn't find a problem Simon, I hear a lot of people like having the music blasting out at full blast but I like to stay in touch with outside sounds too.
Interesting... does look a little over complicated. Have you looked at the Sena SMH05 or the Sena SMH10?
Fantastic review!
We've been using the G4 for awhile now, too. They work well most of the time; however, every once in awhile, the pitch of the voice from my hb changes to really high or really low. Did that every happen to you? What prompted you to go for the upgrade? I've been thinking about it, too.
Does that code work in the US? ;)
Thank you. The biggest problem I found with the G4 apart from the VOX issue is the mic pickup. The mic needs to be close to the mouth and voice needs to be a little more projected. Still think they're superb though. Yes the code will work in the States, think the postage may push prices over the edge though (unless you're coming here for a holiday) ;-)
Been looking at getting some of these myself. Dont suppose your selling your old model ? :D
Sorry, I'll be using them for advanced training and demo purposes.
Hi, Will these fix to the Shoei X Spirit 2 Helmet? Great vids BTW
Not sure, Linz has a Shoei Raid 1 and an XR1100, both with these fitted.
Do more vids on the aprillia
Is that a Schuberth helmet?
How are the speakers on this thing? My SRC speakers broke within a month :|
Very sturdy and the G9x is better audio quality over the G4
Id love one of those but they're so expensive x.x
Right I have a G9x and I cannot get it to talk to my pillion despite the fact it says that the unties were paired in the factory. Pleanty of information on how to talk to 70 different ppl and how to pair to someone elses but nothing on how to talk to your passanger what to press,say or do 🤔 can anyone
help me please?
Go into the app and disable vox. That's the root of a lot of problems
Roadcraft Nottingham thanks but that still doesn’t tell me how to connect to my pillion, which button to press etc?
@@kandishowler5145 go onto the cardo website. You can download the manuals from there.
Roadcraft Nottingham again thank you but I have the manuals but all it says is that the units are paired in the factory it shows how to chat to other riders and groups of people but not how to talk to my pillion
i never used intercoms i always use CB with my harley davidson but its time to use it
planing to do long tour with 3 of my brothers on morgan 3 wheeler and there no space for cb to be placed in it and im thinkin how we can as 4 connect togther in 1 time so i can listen to them all the time as unit and they do same can we achive that and how please thanks ill sub to your channel
Crazy Brits! Stop driving on the wrong side of the road! Its actually freaky to watch that. Great review, I'm supper stoked to get my g9x in the mail now.
hi do you still sell these?
RoadcraftNottingham how did you record the video and audio of the two of you riding? Thanks :)
I put both videos together and matched up the audio too
But how did you record the audio onto the cameras card? Does your camera have a jack input or something? I have a go pro hero 3 and scala g3 but no idea how to do this :(
RoadcraftNottingham actually it be great if you made a youtube video on this too :)
***** both drift cams have external mics plugged in and fed to the mouthpiece of the helmet
Hi, I'm looking to buy one of the kits from your website but I can't get the discount code to work at the moment. I'm typing BEECH10 which comes up as invalid. Can you let me know where I'm going wrong so that I can place my order? Thank you :)
It's working now. Have fun :-)
So let me get this straight, you have turned off the function that will allow you to speak to up to 4 if you mates one on one?. Or is there something in that clip that i misunderstand.
No, I turned off the option to talk to strangers if I see they have one fitted.
Ah, but it was the same thing that you and Linz was using or is that something else completely?
a different function, our units are "paired" the others are "click to link"
will it fit in the G4 unit
Eon Matthews... Yes
Can I use these for Snowmobiling?
Yep, the noise reduction is excellent
Yep, the noise reduction is excellent
RoadcraftNottingham Great, I just bought a pair... I tried the G4 but I didnt like how I always had to figure out the buttons, I much rather have hands free
Just a shame about the size and boom mic. I have an autocom that I'm really disappointed in (quality of speakers listening to music (delta goodrem) isn't the best (they split after about 3 weeks). Going to get a Uclear HBC200 kit when I can. I believe they are compatible with the scala riders on the intercom side thanks to a firmware update
Did you see the bit saying you don't have to use the boom mic? ;-)
Yeah but I use a schuberth c3 ;). The uclear have the mics up by the ears in the ear pieces and by some computer wizardry cancel all other noises lol
markgr1nyer I love my boom, makes me feel important :-D
LOL, I used to like it, now its never connected to anything it just makes me feel stupid lol (CBFA to remove the headset)
...also the 200 set is more expensive than the Scala but the Scala has twice the range and has been established longer in the UK. Looks good though.
Lol you and Linda are cute together.
wish the code was still valid :(
