A comms system is simply one of those things you never thought you’d need, but once you’ve tried, you’ll never want to ride without. I’ll have to admit that there was a time I was against the use of comms systems in my helmet, as I wanted to preserve the raw, free, and disconnected nature of motorcycling. However, when more of my friends started riding, we needed to find a way to be able to effectively communicate while on our bikes.
For the past several years now, even when I ride alone, I keep my comms system live, be it for music, or just so I hear notifications on my phone while I’m on the go. Now, an intercom system is also extremely useful when applied strictly to the urban setting. Particularly in Europe and Asia, where last-mile delivery services tend to be handled by delivery personnel aboard scooters, being able to make and answer phone calls while on the go is an essential part of the job. Even for professionals who use their two-wheelers to commute, staying connected is sometimes essential, depending on your field of work.
