CARDO ADDS CRASH DETECTION TO ITS NEWEST COMMS UNIT

Not just for yacking to your mates , Cardo is now adding safety enhancements to its Packtalk series with its newest unit , the Packtalk Pro , gaining crash detection as a headline feature . “ The Packtalk Pro is the most advanced communication device we ’ ve developed in our history ,” said Alon Lumbroso Chief Executive Officer , Cardo System . “ The introduction of crash detection and emergency alerts arms riders with a heightened level of security , taking what is already the most advanced and featurerich system on the market and elevating it to a new level .” “ For two decades we ’ ve committed ourselves to enhancing the riding experience and moving the industry forward with innovations that truly matter to riders . We intend to maintain that leadership position for many years to come ,” said Lumbroso . Cardo has learned from its foray into subscription-based systems by ensuring that all the new features of the Packtalk Pro are part of the same flat price . Compared to the Packtalk Edge , the Packtalk Pro with its new features is priced $ 120 more at $ 899 . In order to add the new crash detection feature , the Packtalk Pro sensors ‘ feel ’ what your head feels , saving valuable response time when it ’ s needed most . Essentially , it is an IMU ( Inertial Measurement Unit ) like found in modern bikes with cornering ABS or traction control . When activated , the Cardo Connect App communicates to the Cardo cloud , which in turn informs your emergency contact , creating a unique and dependable crash detection system made specifically for on-road motorcycle riders . Sadly , the system isn ’ t supported for those riders who like to go off the beaten track .
