Caberg Helmet and Midland Intercom - all Italian collaboration
Bergamo based Caberg, promoter of the "Progetto Sicuri in Strada" (Safe on the Road) project and Midland Europe, "which makes safe communication its primary objective", want to make the motorcyclist experience "truly unforgettable".
Invisible and completely integrated into the helmet, PRO SPEAK EVO is a new intercom born from the collaboration between these two motorcycle accessory houses. Compatible with all Caberg branded helmets, it was created especially for Caberg's Levo X, Horus X, Duke Evo, Duke X, Tourmax X, Drift Evo, Avalon X, Riviera V4 X and Flyon II.
Approved and compliant with the new ECE 22.06 standard, PRO SPEAK EVO is the all-in-one system for pilot-passenger conversations up to 200m. All in Full Duplex mode, with digital quality and DSP system for noise suppression. You can also talk to an intercom of any brand thanks to the "Universal Intercom" function.
"It offers the possibility to connect your smartphone to make and receive phone calls or GPS or multimedia display. Compatible with integrated connectivity and control systems adopted by the major motorcycle manufacturers (BMW, KTM, Ducati, etc.).
"It is a very simple and intuitive product thanks to the 2 multifunction buttons and above all simple to install. The autonomy of 8 hours of conversation allows daily use without the need for recharging (2-hour charging time with the included Type-C USB cable). Thanks to the programming software (available on the Caberg website) you can also always update PRO SPEAK EVO from a PC.
"This new system constitutes a great step forward in the innovation of specific vehicular communication for the motorcycle sector and creates a totally safe communication system for motorcyclists while driving."
Gabriele Torreggiani, Midland Europe Vice President, commented that "In recent years we have worked closely with representatives of Caberg, with the sole objective of allowing motorcyclists from all over the world to fully experience the joy of “communicating” safely and comfortably while riding. Together we will in fact guarantee a better ride experience for all motorcyclists, responding to the need to communicate in an increasingly transversal and open way to all, without compromises and without technological limits."
For Caberg, Managing Director Virginia Capelli is quoted as saying that "Being able to deal with an Italian and professional company like Midland was an excellent opportunity. The continuous contact between our technicians and Midland technicians has thus allowed us to market a versatile and practical product to communicate in complete safety during our customers' travels.
"We are sure that this is the first step of a new collaboration that will allow us to offer the market further products that are safe and easy to use by all motorcyclists in the coming years.”
In collaboration with other players in the motorcycle communications space, last year Midland was a founding member of the OBI - 'Open Bluetooth Intercom' (OBI) - consortium, an open, industry-wide Bluetooth intercom standard, allowing seamless crossbrand Bluetooth intercom connectivity between products from several different motorcycle communications product providers.
