The World's Most Feature Rich Bluetooth(R) Headset for Motorcycle
Helmets Now Includes Bike-to-Bike Intercom and Multi-Device Connection
PITTSBURGH--(Business Wire)--Cardo Systems, Inc., the world's market leader of Bluetooth(R)
headsets for motorcycle helmets today announced the launch of its new
scala-rider Q2(R) intercom enabled headset for bikers. The highly
anticipated scala-rider Q2(R) helmet-mounted Bluetooth(R) headset
provides safe and handsfree Bike-to-Bike communication for up to an
impressive 1,600 ft. / 500 m (a) In the wake of the highly popular
scala-rider(R) line of products, the new scala-rider Q2(R) now further
expands the already feature-rich company offerings for bikers.

   The scala-rider Q2(R) features Multiple Device Connection (MDC)
technology, which allows bikers to connect to several audio sources in
parallel including the following: voice instructions from a GPS,
mobile phone conversations with third parties, intercom conversations
with passengers and with other bikers, and high-quality FM radio
transmissions from the embedded FM module.

   "The scala-rider Q2(R) incorporates everything we have learned
from the more than 250,000 customers who have purchased a
scala-rider(R) headset," said Abraham Glezerman, Chairman and CEO of
Cardo Systems. "The scala-rider biker community has been demanding a
high-quality Bike-to-Bike intercom headset and we are happy to
accommodate that request. The scala-rider Q2 shows that we continue to
push the envelope in our commitment to provide bikers with superb
communication products that excel in terms of safety, convenience,
ruggedness and ease of use"

   The Cardo scala-rider Q2(R) is fully backward-compatible with the
entire line of earlier scala-rider models (solo, Combo, FM and
TeamSet). In addition to MDC technology and Bike-to-Bike intercom, it
offers the same high-quality performance as in previous scala-rider
models, including wind impact reduction, voice controlled receipt and
rejection of incoming calls, automatic volume adjustment according to
driving speed and ambient noise, full rain and snow protection and
more.

   The new multi-featured scala-rider Q2(R) is now available through
select distributors, retail outlets, specialty motorcycle shops, and
directly from the Cardo Systems web site at www.scalarider.com with a
suggested retail price of $219.99.
