If you buy through our links, Amazon pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never affects our scores. How we are funded.
A Mesh intercom does not connect in a chain like a Bluetooth one: everyone in the group forms a network that reorganises itself. If a bike drops back and loses the signal, it rejoins automatically as it gets closer, and everyone else keeps talking. That is why big groups and mountain rides use it.
Each brand has its own Mesh: Sena's and Cardo's DMC. Between units of the same brand it works brilliantly; with other brands you connect over Bluetooth, with more limits. Before you buy, ask what your riding mates use.
Is it worth it for you?
- Yes, if you ride in groups of 3 or more bikes, or with people at different paces.
- Probably not, if you ride solo or two-up: a good Bluetooth unit costs less and lasts longer.
All of these also have Bluetooth for your phone, sat nav and music. If you are unsure which technology you need, our intercom guide explains it.
