Scooter News Scala Rider G4 Strike has recently welcomed on board its newest product range, the Cardo Scala Rider G4 Headset and the G4 Powerset.
Strike
The innovative G4 range redefines the notion of high-end communication for motorcycle helmets and is riding its way to transforming the Bluetooth industry.
The G4 features a unique 4-way communication intercom between two bikers and two passengers or 3-way intercom among three separate bikers. Multi device connectivity, including mobile phone, A2DP (Bluetooth stereo), FM radio with RDS, intuitive button controls, and wire connectivity to iPod/MP2 player makes the G4 the stand out device on the Australian and world-wide arena.
The Scala Rider G4 offers multilingual status announcements allowing bikers to maintain smooth and safe handsfree communication whilst on the move. The Scala Rider G4 Headset retails for an affordable $399 and can be purchased online at www.strike.com.au or at a Strike dealer in your area.
If you want to up the anti of the G4 then the G4 Powerset ($699) is for you. The G4 Powerset offers two factory paired Scala Rider G4 headsets in one package for immediate motorcycle use. Encased in a chic, streamlined body, the Scala Rider G4 PowerSet offers Bike to Bike intercom at a remarkable range of up to 1.6km.
Like the G4 Headset, the Scala Rider G4 Powerset comes with all of the same features, but allows for more power to talk with your fellow riders.
For riders who are concerned that their helmets are too tight, Strike recommends the corded microphones, which are also available with both Scala Rider units.
Another perk of the product is there’s no need to manually disconnect from the intercom or music to receive calls or GPS instructions as the built-in technology solves this completely.
Both the Scala Rider G4 and the Scala Rider G4 Powerset can be installed on almost all motorcycle helmets and all it takes is a convenient five minutes to install. Once installed, users can access the product’s software updates at www.cardoupgrades.com. Contact Strike’s team today to find out more, call 1300 792 044 to speak to a consultant.

About Strike
Strike was started in 2001 by young (at the time) entrepreneurs Adam Rockett and Chris Ryan who had a vision to create a business built on innovation both internally and externally. In true entrepreneurial spirit Adam and Chris didn't have a clue what they were doing at the outset, but through belief in themselves, a lot of work, some valuable hard lessons and a great deal of experience they both grew with Strike to become what they are today.
Strike now exports to over 79 countries worldwide, is the largest distributor of Bluetooth motoring technology in Australia and is one of the fastest-growing distributors of electronic products in the Asia-Pacific region.
