| Night scene of Mazatlan |
On the ride to Mazatlan, Mexico, we've tested the Cardo Freecom 4+ up to 1km, co-ordinating navigation as my handphone overheated in the tank bag, shutting down all apps but the Freecom. Auto-routing on Google Maps, available offline, makes finding a cheap hotel at 520 pesos (USD $26.80) a simple matter of mimicking an Uber driver.
We could hear each other up to 130km/h (80mph) as Debbie called out turns. Despite wearing earplugs, I can hear her at max volume, with a battery life allowing 2 to 3 full riding days at our usage patterns. Sometimes 1 of us would overshoot a turn that wasn't obvious, but with communications, we could pull over and regroup, riding back on the gravel road beside the main road. When I hit a pothole or topes (Mexican speedbump), I could also warn Debbie ahead of time.
We are glad Chong Aik International Pte Ltd sponsored us this Cardo unit, allowing us to experience motorcycle touring in a brand new manner, and enhancing teamwork. If you are considering a unit, feel free to ask questions!
