How to Choose Your Motorcycle Intercom? A Practical Guide
Choosing the right intercom is a bit like choosing the perfect helmet: essential for your safety and riding enjoyment. The intercom is no longer just an accessory but an indispensable travel companion, allowing you to simplify communications with your passenger and fellow riders, listen to music and GPS directions, and answer phone calls.
It’s not just about convenience—it also improves motorcyclist safety. With an intercom, you never risk losing focus on the road.
Our history with intercoms began in 2008, when we launched the BT2, the first bike-to-bike intercom developed by our R&D department, introducing stereo mode and pilot-to-pilot communication, eliminating all cables thanks to Bluetooth technology.
Since then, Midland’s intercom range has expanded, meeting the needs of every rider, from beginners to the most experienced and demanding ones.
So, when a biker needs to buy an intercom, the first question that comes to mind is: Which one should I choose?
With this practical guide, discover the features of every Midland intercom model—choosing the one that’s right for you will be a breeze!
