General topics » Rider-Pillion Intercoms

Hi all
My 11 year old daughter has joined me on a bunch of rides recently and is absolutely loving being on the RS. We did a 400 mile weekend recently, and while she is pretty much a perfect pillion, I know she'd like to be able to chat and ask questions as we enjoy the best roads in the UK (that'll be Scotland by the way!).

So - looking for any personal recommendations for Rider/Pillion intercoms. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for bike to bike stuff, I don't need to be blue toothed to my phone for music, I don't need to hear a SatNav (because I don't use - or even have - one) - I'm just looking for excellent sound quality and minimal interference in a rider/pillion system. Fully appreciate that the best option may also do lots of things I might not need or currently want, and that's OK. Not overly bothered on cost but would also prefer not to spend hundreds if there are genuinely good, realistically priced, options out there.

Thanks in advance!! Woz

Would you prefer wireless comms (usually bluetooth) between you and your pillion or would a wired system suffice?

Wireless would be better and much easier - but my only experience is with a really cheap system that crackled and picked up loads of interference - so anything that works well is an option.

I have used the Autocom Active-7-Smart for many years. It is wired and powered by the bike. No hassle, just plug in your headset. Excellent comms between me and my pillion. Voice activated and noise cancelling. These have now been superceded by newer models but there are often sales on eBay etc.

Autocom also produced a number of other wired models that are also excellent.
