The scala rider® Q3 makes riding in small groups really fun!
With its stylish and aerodynamic design, it offers
intercom toggling among 4 riders at a range of
up to 1 km.*
The Q3 will simultaneously connect to
mobile phones, A2DP (Bluetooth®
stereo) music players, and GPS
navigation devices. It also has a
built-in FM radio with RDS and a
cable is provided to connect to
older MP3 players.
Click-to-Link® technology,
allows Q3 users to join the social
roadside revolution and the several
hundred-thousand scala riders who
already enjoy spontaneous intercom
with each other without the need for
advance pairing.
While riding with a passenger, the Q3 will allow you to share
your favourite music with Music-Sharing™
technology, so you can both enjoy the same
tunes as you get around.
To ensure that your scala rider remains
at the forefront of technology, you can
update its software online via your
Mac or PC.**
The scala rider Q3 comes equipped
with interchangeable hybrid and
corded microphones providing the
ultimate solution for virtually any
helmet.
