Features
If there is a motorcycle intercom system that can capture your interest right at the minute you saw it and even manage to increase it once you get your hands on it, it would have to be the Scala Rider Q3.
Let us discuss some of the most-loved features of the Scala Rider Q3:
Durability
One thing you will notice upon closer look of the Scala Rider Q3 is the small soft tether plug. You have to make sure that this is always stays in place because it is the one responsible for keeping the whole unit safe against environmental and weather elements.
The plug is located at the inner back which is said to help maintain the integrity of the intercom system. In addition, this is located close to the helmet to keep it from being directly exposed to elements.
MDC or Multi-Device Connectivity
All riders know the importance of this feature but what makes this even more special with the Q3 intercom system is because it is further enhanced by dual Bluetooth channels and therefore, the dual hands-free profile capability which ultimately benefits riders.
Because of the dual Bluetooth channels, the Q3 can support two devices at the same time. For example, you want to connect two of your smartphones or a smartphone and a music player or even a music player and a GPS device.
Audio Priorities
Because of its multifunctional capability, the Rider Q3 intercom system comes with fixed audio priorities so that the intercom system knows which one of the features you are using to prioritize since there would most likely be times when two or more are in use. The fixed audio priorities are as follows: phone/navigation device, intercom/click-to-link, A2DP stereo Bluetooth audio, FM radio, and auxiliary or wired connection.
However, Cardo Scala loves their customers so much that for the Q3, they are offering a bit of customization to suit every rider’s needs. For example, the A2DP stereo Bluetooth radio can be swapped with the intercom depending on one’s preferences.
Once this audio priority begins, each time someone calls you or you make a call, all the other functions stop or take a timeout. After the call, the ongoing features will resume but not abruptly and more like in a subtle manner.
Pros
The package includes two pre-paired Scala Rider Q3 motorcycle intercom systems. Each unit features a stylish aerodynamic design with the great ability to toggle in full duplex mode for up to four riders for as long as it is within the given range of 1 km or 3,200 feet.
What is a Powertrain warranty?Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. 1998 chevrolet 2500 truck user manual. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising.
What is even better and preferred by most riders today is the Click-to-Link feature which is a patented technology of Cardo Scala that allows spontaneous connection without pairing.
Perfect for the Outdoors

Value for Money
