Motorcycle communication systems are constantly evolving and improving, with the new NEXX X-COM3 Pro Intercom now adding to the available options.
The system has been co-developed with SENA, and can connect up to 24 riders within a radius of up to 1.2 miles using the Group Mesh technology, or as many as 10 riders via Bluetooth 5.1 Intercom, so you can easily lead tours, rideouts, training groups, or just talk trash about other riders.
Alternatively you can connect to both your smartphone and GPS at the same time. So you could be making phone calls, streaming music and still getting your turn-by-turn directions, thanks to the Dual Device functionality. The sound should also be clear, with the conmbiation of Advanced Noise Control, and high quality Harman Kardon speaks.
You get a talk time of 13 hours for Bluetooth and 8 hours for Mesh, although you can also recharge the system on the move, and it’s designed to clip into a recess behind a removable flap on the shell of various NEXX helmets, including the X.WED3, X.WST3, and Y.100 ranges, starting from £109.99.The battery goes into a compartment behind the neck roll, and the earphones and wires go into recesses in the helmet lining. So you can use the full carbon lids around the £500 mark, but have a more cost-effective option for pillions, for example.
The NEXX X-COM3 PRO costs £339.98, although you can save 16.66% if you also buy a new NEXX helmet (which is a saving of £56.54). The standard X-COM3 is also available for £169.99, but you lose the Harmon Kardon speakers, private chat function, the Advanced Noise Control, and the MESH technology, with Bluetooth limited to 0.8km for a group of 4 riders.
You can buy the NEXX comms systems directly from the UK website, or from a range of retailers. If you’re in the market for a fresh lid, why not check out our other coverage of new motorcycle helmets? Including previous highlights from the NEXX range.
