Manufactured by Cardo Systems, a leader in the motorcycle communication industry, the Q2 sets the standard for rider intercom technology with its robust functionality and user-friendly design.

One of the main features of the Cardo Q2 is its ability to facilitate intercom communication between riders.

This range is particularly beneficial for group rides, ensuring that all participants can keep in touch without the need for cumbersome hand signals or stopovers.

The Q2 is equipped with advanced noise cancellation technology, significantly reducing the sound of wind and road noise, which can often interfere with communication. This feature is crucial for maintaining clear audio quality, allowing riders to communicate at high speeds and in varying weather conditions without distraction.

In terms of usability, the Cardo Q2 boasts an intuitive interface. It includes large, glove-friendly buttons that simplify operation, even with riding gloves on.
