Fitting an Interphone Tour Bike Intercom System to a Caberg Helmet

[@cgi2751]

Anyone who listens to Trance whilst riding is a legend and a man after my own heart

[@RiderCamTV]

thanks buddy.. Best music out there :)

[@petery3523]

I have purchased the same unit and am extremely pleased with it, allowing me to listen to the RT’s audio system, GPS prompts and incoming calls, giving excellent sound quality even with earplugs in. Chose this over the Scala and Sena due to ease of use and being waterproof. Another great video thanks.

[@RiderCamTV]

Great choice Peter. Awesome helmet and the interphone has exceptional sound quality :) Thanks for the kinda words. Ride safe :)

[@markholroyd5365]

Just fitted one myself and this video helped me fit it thanks. I managed to source mine on eBay from a company in Italy for £177 with free postage. Lucky boy!

[@RiderCamTV]

+Mark Holroyd great price. Not envious at all :/ haha

[@vulture45]

Thanks for an excellent video. Just fitted the system to my BMW GS Enduro helmet and it was a breeze. All thanks to your clear instructions. Well Done 👍

[@RiderCamTV]

thanks for the kind words matey, glad the video helped out :)

[@schilpad2]

Nice video! You made me laugh when you said you had to RAM the cable in. I bought it for 194 euro, going to install it today. The video helped a lot, thanks!

[@RiderCamTV]

+Robert F glad it helped and we got some laughs out of it too :) ride safe matey

[@Honourable66]

i noticed some thick padding that fitted over the straps, did you replace these ear strap pads after fitting the headset or leave them off?

[@RiderCamTV]

Nope put it all back in the helmet without any problems :)

[@MrChrapunik]

very instructional video. the only problem I had obviously was, how the flaps of the polstering go back. Which is not on the video.

[@RiderCamTV]

Sorry we didn’t put that in but it goes back in exactly the same way as it came out

[@MrChrapunik]

@@RiderCamTV thats exactly what I thought, when I was taking it apart :D :D :D - there was one flap I didn't notice before. Took quite some time to figure out.

[@WrathOfVaz]

Hi. Is this headset still good for the duke 2 or would you recommend another one?

[@Alancclive]

Yes

[@MrChrapunik]

I just fiinnished the instalation. I have Caberg Druid and the headphones are suppose to be on plastic part of the helmet, NOT ON THE WHITE FOAM. Thats too high. Now I have to undo everything and move the headphones down.

[@RiderCamTV]

I’m sure you will be able to get them in the right place for you with a little tweaking.

[@SA-xg5eo]

Great video thanks for uploading I wonder if you could let me know the exact size of the adhesive plate please? I only have a flat surface 6cm by 3 1/2 cm

[@Ianjeffery2500]

Can you tell me if the duplex function extends to being able to hear your own voice when you speak as you can with any Autocom systems. Thanks

[@RiderCamTV]

not ever had that problem. has full duplex but never heard my own voice as I speak.

[@danielsprikuls4969]

Does cardo freecom 1 can be installed for this helmet?

[@RiderCamTV]

think you can install most comms in this helmet :)

[@djordjemarkovic9400]

What about camera microphone (one used for vlog)?

[@RiderCamTV]

im using the Drift X for filing on the bike and an iPhone x for filming around the bike with an external mic. As well as a cannon EOS5

[@djordjemarkovic9400]

@@RiderCamTV Do you use mic that came with iPhone headphones or you use something else? If I got it right, this means you have 2 mics under your helmet (1 for com and 1 for vlog)? Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you could show us your setup in one of your next videos. Also, thank you for posting! :)

[@chupacabra7224]

can you please tell me how is sound on naked bike when you going 70 m/p or more?

[@RiderCamTV]

hey buddy, it is a noisy helmet at that speed, although not as noisy as other helmets. certainly noisier than a Shoe or the like. We wear earplugs so dont notice much, although on a naked bike you can tell the difference. hope that helps

[@johnmorton3269]

does the flip lid of the caberg clear the mic you fitted

[@adrynasution2615]

HI mate... I might be daft or something .. but I've just bought a Caberg Duke.. I'm a tad confused about the top airvent.. which is open or closed? LOLI can't seem to feel a difference between them both

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey matey. I think from memory that in the forward position it is closed and in the rear position its open. took me some time to work it out too, but could definitely feel the cool air when it is open.... hope this helps :)

[@adrynasution2615]

I'll try that on my commute in the morning.. the ventilation on this helmet could be better. I'm thinking of shaving some holes in the chin bar foam to help a litle.. LOL

[@mikegaffney64]

hi buddy, loved the video and your delivery. I am looking for a new helmet and comms system and wonder if you are happy with this helmet

[@RiderCamTV]

Thanks for the kind words, we both have Caberg helmets still and ride with them every day :)

[@urisassoon4649]

How do you open and close the helmet

[@RiderCamTV]

Using the button

[@urisassoon4649]

Does the microphone not get in the way that's my question...

[@RiderCamTV]

@@urisassoon4649 Nomits tucked away so no issue.

[@starbricks3177]

verry good video, i ve learn something!! Keep it up, love the passion you guys always have even explaining some little things. nice ps: the microphone you put will it fit even when the helmet is fully close? thanks

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey matey, thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoy the vids as we enjoy making them :) Yeah the mic fits really well into the lining for the helmet and is on a boom which is held by a little ‘channel’ under the lining to hold it in place :)

[@andrewtofts7884]

Really interesting video guys, thanks. I have a Scala unit fitted to my Shoei GT Air; had it nearly three years, but it's starting to play up a bit so I'm thinking about a replacement. As for the question of listening to music while riding; I do it all the time, linked to my iPhone which is on shuffle. I see no difference to listening to music in a car; I have no problem hearing other noises around me and that's with me wearing filtered ear plugs. Cheers, Andy

[@RiderCamTV]

+Andrew Tofts me too. I love listening to music while riding. Helps me concentrate. :) the interphones are good mate.

[@andrewtofts7884]

RiderCamTV Are those the ones thar Ride magazine recommended?

[@RiderCamTV]

+Andrew Tofts I'm not sure matey. I'll have to have a look. But I wouldn't be surprised as they are really good :)

[@andrewtofts7884]

RiderCamTV I'll check too, I'm sure I've got a copy that was issued last year containing a review of intercom sets; I do remember that Scala wasn't featured. Will let you know; cheers, Andy

[@RiderCamTV]

+Andrew Tofts cool. Thanks matey :)

[@M-artin]

The prepared space for the speakers is completely wrong with the Caberg Tourmax. The recesses are unfortunately not at the ears but at the back of the head. The flat speakers also press through the cushion at this point. I absolutely don't understand how you can hear anything in this position. The only possibility is to fix the headphones in the upper part of the chinstraps.

[@RiderCamTV]

The tourmax does for some reason have the recesses a little further back than the duke has but I haven’t found an issue at all with hearing anything or any discomfort at all. We use the interfone headsets and the speakers fit just fine :)

[@M-artin]

I don't believe it, but maybe I am a special anatomical case. My ear canals, as well as those of my motorcycle colleagues, are at almost every helmet at about the height of the upper chin strap - slightly below the attachment. But certainly not where Caberg provides for the recesses. I have nevertheless found a way to fix it. On the plastic base of the cheek pads Caberg has strangely wise "very elastic, red ribbons sewn. Exactly in the anatomically correct place. If you fix the headset with the crepe tape underneath, it sits acoustically correctly and does not press.

[@RiderCamTV]

Glad you got it sorted in the end. I looked at my tourmax and the recesses are as you say further back than in the duke but I haven’t found an issue with sound or discomfort. Thanks for the info though :)

[@jasonbeer6179]

brilliant video thanks ..

[@Null-zp3or]

Initially i would've said no to music whilst riding in case of sirens, honking horns or other potential hazards. BUT As long as your observant i think music is ok. Car drivers blast it loud enough. On that note, there have been times where I've zoned out listening to music in a car & wondered how the hell I got to where I was, no recollection almost like an auto pilot. I don't personally listen to any whilst riding but that's probably because I've listened to the same 20 songs all my life. Again observation observation observation & try not let your mind wander whilst listening.

[@DjSkipAlexander]

What’s good trance track u like

[@RiderCamTV]

anything by Armin Van Buuren really... some old school by Paul Okendold and the like :)

[@mrlarkin6416]

Can I have your old one to try and mend it please,, only joking good review been looking at the caberg just speak system for my justissimo gt😎

[@RiderCamTV]

hehehe, thanks for the kind words matey. Its a great helmet and is really comfortable. :)

[@brikfiend]

Not advisable on Mad Sunday. . . .

[@PaparazziPT1]

Nice video. Thanks

[@RiderCamTV]

+Victor Santos thanks matey

[@SimoneCamarda]

Thank you very much !!!! It is really useful for me!!!!

[@mikegaffney8005]

Hi great video really loved it. Just subd. Cheers Kiwi Mike

[@RiderCamTV]

+Mike Gaffney hey matey, thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@user-or4ut2qi3q]

I specifically looked at this video to see how to fit an intercom to a caberg Duke 2 and you skipped the important step lol

[@RiderCamTV]

which step is that, perhaps we could help

[@user-or4ut2qi3q]

@@RiderCamTV just removing the lining but it was much simpler than I thought. Your video was very helpful in the end. Saved me from throwing my helmet across the room so thank you lol

[@masteroutlier]

the amount of 'literally's is kind of astounding. Next time you try to record something so up close, either immobilize the camera or don't stick it up the object

[@RiderCamTV]

And it was one of our very early videos too. Everyone starts somewhere and we are always learning

[@GDTF88]

thats not the proper place for the speakers. that way they stay very far away from your ears and sound really weak

[@SuperLEEEDWARDS]

SORRY BUD but you saying RAM it in when you were just pushing and the guy behind the camera could NOT get the bloody thing to focus . Now start again with a script and SHOW how to take the interier of helmet out fit the comms then SHOW how all the helmet fits back together .
