Just installed this in my wife's helmet - I have a Sena 30K and they connected instantly and sound crystal clear. If anything, her St1 sounds quite a bit louder even though I have the upgraded speakers in mine. Very pleased with the price too.

This is as an excellent review, thank you! I didn’t know that Sena has a a cheaper Mesh unit, which was something I really needed. Almost bought Cardo 2x not knowing this!

I just got the Spider RT1 and it's great. Only bad thing: You cannot disconnect it from the speaker/mic cable so it always has to be on your helmet. Even when charging etc. Firmware update works over the air through the app. No usb cable needed :)
@sportsbikeshop4 ай бұрын
Agreed. More and more intercoms and helmets are now demanding on-helmet charging. Worth carrying an extra-long charging cable on riding trips to give more flexibility on where you can charge. Cheers, Tony

Tony, it is a great review. End up i bought two after watching your video. Just one thing i put it on a test on the mountain but i find the range is very limited (less then few hundreds meters) not as described by the product using group mesh. Do you know why? Any suggestions on the settings i can try? Thanks Tony for the great video 👍👍
@FrameEsc2 жыл бұрын
I have a Cardo Freecom 4x and it’s interesting weighing up the differences between these two as they are essentially the same price. Have you tried the 4x? How does it compare to you? Obviously I know the 4x is Bluetooth only, but in your experience in a rider group of only 4 would you go for this or the 4x?
@sportsbikeshop2 жыл бұрын
I've not tried a Freecom 4X, sorry. Everything I'm told suggests that trying to keep groups together with a Bluetooth connection is harder than if you use mesh technology like this one runs. Thanks for getting in touch. Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony, nice review. I like to use a dedicated satnav for directions when on tour, will this unit allow me to pair it to BOTH a satnav and my phone at the same time? I presume it would need two bluetooth channels for this to work? Many thanks.

Hi, yes this unit will allow connection to a phone and a dedicated sat-nav at the same time. The full user guide explains how to do this, and that can be downloaded from Sena's website here... www.sena.com/eu-en/product/spider-st1/documents Thanks for getting in touch. Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony et al. It’s really frustrating that I can’t find in Sena website whether this intercom supports music sharing or not. I’ve bought a twin pack from Sportsbikeshop but I can’t make the music sharing work. Tony can you help me confirm whether this model is music sharing compatible?
@sportsbikeshop11 ай бұрын
Hi Yannis, music sharing isn't a feature on this model. We believe it's because the music sharing function on intercoms is performed by Bluetooth, which is not available on the ST1. Thanks for getting in touch on this and apologies for being the bearer of bad news. Cheers, Tony

I have no knowledge of the UClear systems and can't say for sure, but our technical team tell me that Sena mesh systems like the ST1 will only communicate with other Sena mesh units, or now with Interphone's mesh systems, so our view is that you wouldn't be able to join your group with a Sena ST1.

Cant the unit be taken off of the helmet to charge, update or anything else? Do you have to disconnect the wires? Or is it more like a click on click off system like my old model cardo?

You have to unplug the cable to remove it from the lid, then slide it off the clamp so you can charge it off-lid. It's a little slower than some units, but not really a big deal. Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony, I'm thinking of buying the Dual intercom to connect with my wife (pillion only). We are currently using an Autocom hard wired system which is on its last legs! We both want to hear the Satnav (which is possible with Autocom). Is it possible for us BOTH to connect with the Satnav with the ST1?
@sportsbikeshop2 жыл бұрын
It's not possible to connect two wireless headsets to a motorcycle sat-nav, which is an issue at the sat-nav end. A search around online suggests that, on some units, switching on music sharing will allow the sat-nav instructions to be sent from rider headset to pillion headset. I've tried this with the ST1 and it doesn't work in this way. Sorry it hasn't solved your issue, but I hope it's answered your question. Cheers, Tony

Hi. So if I have understood well, these units are more easy to pair than the BT units and it is much easier to pair with each other We have a girls karting team and go to endurance races and I need a system that I can communicate with three girls at the same time. This looks like it is a better system, and cheaper, than Sena 20s and higher models
@sportsbikeshop Жыл бұрын
Hi, yes - that is the case. You'll find it easier to connect four units (three drivers plus yourself?) when using Mesh. With Bluetooth, the third unit would use the second as a 'bridge' into the chat and the fourth unit would use the third in the same way. Then you've got a daisy chain and if one link drops out you lose the whole thing. I'm also told, but haven't discovered this for myself, that everyone has to stay in the same order when riding bikes on the road. I have no idea what chaos this might inflict on your plan for kart races. With Mesh, if one unit drops out the chain between the others will remain, and they don't need to stay in the same riding order. And yes, as things stand, this is the cheapest Mesh-equipped system we have. As for whether it'll work in your circumstances I can't say, but I'd be interested to know the outcome. Cheers, Tony

I've had a quick look on the Sena site and the only product I can see that would work how you want is about $500 US, and listed as unavailable. You could contact Sena to see if they have anything suitable: www.sena.com/eu-en/support. But in your position, I'd look at making my own headset by fitting an ST1 unit to a pair of ear defenders. Some intercom firms have made these up as demonstration units for customers in shops. There are videos on KZbin that show how to do something like that, with different degrees of complexity/bodgery involved. I hope you can find a way. Cheers, Tony
