Mesh-only intercom with up to 24 riders in Group Mesh, 2 km range, up to 18 hours of talk time, Bluetooth 5.2 for phone, music and sat nav, and a glove-friendly jog dial, according to Sena.

Why it stands out

The Spider ST1 is the cheapest way into Sena’s Mesh. It drops what a group of Sena riders uses least (Bluetooth intercom) and gives you lots of battery in return.

Key figures

  • Group Mesh of up to 24 riders and Open Mesh with six channels.
  • Up to 2 km range in open terrain.
  • Up to 18 hours of Mesh talk time; full charge in about 2.5 hours.
  • Bluetooth 5.2 for phone, music and sat nav.
  • Jog dial designed for gloves and a 60 g main unit.

Our verdict

If your whole group uses Sena, it’s hard to get more for less. If anyone rides with another brand, a Sena 50S or Cardo Packtalk Neo is a better bet, as they also talk over Bluetooth.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the Sena Spider ST1 compatible with other brands?

Not for intercom: the Spider ST1 only talks over Mesh to other Sena Mesh units. Its Bluetooth is for your phone, music and sat nav, not for talking to other riders. If your mates use Cardo or Midland, choose a model with Bluetooth intercom.

How long does the Sena Spider ST1 battery last?

Up to 18 hours of Mesh talk time according to Sena, and a full charge takes about 2.5 hours. A 20-minute quick charge gives around 2 hours of use.

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.
