Scala Rider Packtalk Durability Test

The Scala Rider PACKTALK system is one of the most advanced helmet-to-helmet communication systems on the planet.

Utilizing a mesh-based connection called DMC (Dynamic Meshwork Communication), the PACKTALK can link up to 15 riders within a range of five miles. The system is designed to “self-heal” when riders are entering or leaving a group, unlike Bluetooth-based systems.

Unfortunately, I don’t have 15 friends so I can’t verify whether these numbers are true. After being available on the market for a year, other outlets have verified that the PACKTALK’s DMC works exactly as intended, although theinitial set-up takes some getting used to. If you’re a visual learner, there are several videos on YouTube showing the proper way to link headsets and Bluetooth-connect to your phone.
