Guys and Gals, if any one is interested in motorcycle communications then I feel this will be invaluable.

I have been using an IntaRide Rp1 system for about two years now and as such found it to be quite different from my previous system.

I was in the unfortunate position to have to find a replacement for my 97 vintage Autocom.  I like the Autocom product very much but, at the time, not the price, as the replacement Pro system was in excess of £250 (excluding Bike to Bike radio).

I finally settled on an Intaride, complete package, RP1 for £150. I added to this their own bike to bike radio and 12v power for about £100. Now I had the whole shooting match for the same money as the Autocom (without radio).

Now, the Intaride Rp1 has proved to be reliable and has even allowed me to use my mobile phone, as my old intercom wasn’t digital phone compatible.

The sound quality on the early Rp1 was ok but I did notice a little wind noise over the mic’s when talking at speed, however this was never intrusive. The biggest difference and as I see it the biggest plus point of the Intaride was the genuine Automatic VOX operation of the mic’s. At any speed the VOX would automatically adjust to the ambient wind noise and stop the mic’s from opening unnecessarily. Particularly useful when carrying a pillion who insists on having their visor open in summer!

Now onto the point of this post.

Intaride have stopped making the RP1 and now have a new system called the Evo. As you can imagine it is an Evolution of the original and boy is it an evolution…..

At less than half the size of the original I can tuck it right out of the way. However the best part is that the whole unit unplugs from all of its cables which makes swapping it to another bike a 2 minute affair. The sound quality is even better than before. It still uses the same ‘Police style’ jack plug connectors for the rider and pillion which are a massive improvement over the fiddly plugs my previous intercom had.

Lastly and probably most importantly there is now an individual volume control for both rider and pillion and a user control for the VOX setting so you can fine tune it to the tenor of your voice. The bike to bike radio plugs straight in and the whole thing I’m told is digital and as such I don’t get any interference from the bike’s coils or alternator.

I’ve found Intaride to be very accommodating to speak to in every respect and nothing seems to much trouble when it come to fine tuning the product to suit me.

On a final note for anyone considering a new intercom or even replacing an old and tired unit, for the money, I don’t think they can be beaten.

It gets my endorsement.
