Bluetooth intercom for up to 4 bikes, with 40 mm JBL speakers, voice control, 1.2 km range, 13 hours of battery and IP65.

Why it stands out

The Freecom 4X is Cardo’s most complete Bluetooth unit: 40 mm JBL speakers, voice control and conference for up to 4 bikes, with a link that reconnects itself if it drops.

Key figures

  • Up to 1.2 km range.
  • Around 13 hours of battery; 20 minutes of charging give 2 hours.
  • IP65 and Bluetooth 5.2.

Our verdict

If you ride 2 to 4 bikes together and do not spread out much, it is a great option with Cardo’s sound and ease of use. If the group grows or spreads out, step up to a Mesh unit like the Packtalk Neo.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the Cardo Freecom 4X compatible with other brands?

Yes, over Bluetooth it can pair with intercoms from other brands, usually in pairs. That is one advantage of not relying on a brand-specific Mesh network.

How long does the Cardo Freecom 4X battery last?

Up to 13 hours of talk time according to Cardo. Cold weather, high volume or all-day Mesh use reduce it a little: on long trips, charge it every night.

Is it legal to use an intercom on a motorcycle in the UK?

Yes. Hands-free intercoms are legal. The Highway Code bans hand-held phone use and warns that hands-free devices can distract you, so set up music and sat nav before you set off.
