Cardo Systems (CARDO), is announcing its newest mesh/Bluetooth communicator.  The company is now offering the KTM PACKTALK EDGE – a special edition PACKTALK EDGE, which features a distinctive KTM orange finish.  Cardo says the new comm was developed and released in partnership with the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer.  According to KTM, “Now KTM riders (aka “orange bleeders”) can flex their KTM pride with this special edition of Cardo’s most-advanced helmet communication system.”

The KTM PACKTALK EDGE is essentially an existing PACKTALK EDGE with an outer orange finish.  So not much new there.  But if KTM branding and the orange color are your things, Cardo has you covered.

With a black KTM logo against its orange finish, KTM PACKTALK EDGE offers all the state-of-the-art features and benefits of the recently launched PACKTALK EDGE. Inside, you will find second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) connectivity, unparalleled audio clarity from JBL, and an enhanced microphone and noise cancellation system.

In addition, the PACKTALK EDGE (whether the standard or KTM version) offers faster pairing in DMC and Bluetooth modes and can connect up to 15 riders with a range of nearly one mile. Cardo’s Natural Voice Operation technology means riders can keep their eyes on the road, hands on the bars, and initiate various Packtalk features and functions by simply saying, “Hey, Cardo.” Antenna-free, PACKTALK EDGE also features a new magnetic “Air Mount,” which is waterproof, dust and mudproof, and compatible with all helmet makes and models.

KTM Comment

Both Cardo and KTM had good things to say about the new KTM PACKTALK EDGE.  KTM’s Head of Global Marketing Federico Valentini said:

“Our alliance with Cardo Systems means we can celebrate two things that are really important to us: leading technology, and a fun and thrilling riding experience.  Equipping KTM riders with leading technology to maximize their riding experience is our first and foremost goal, and there is no better partner to help achieve this than Cardo Systems. The KTM PACKTALK EDGE will significantly enhance any shared trip, whether by road on a KTM Duke or off-road on a KTM Adventure.”

Cardo Comment

Cardo’s Shachar Harari, VP of Business Development, also chipped in with a statement:

“It is an absolute pleasure to join forces with a brand as respected as KTM to offer KTM riders and fans of the brand our most-advanced product in a look that’s close to their hearts.  Motorcyclists the world over are keenly aware that when they see orange, they know it’s KTM, and the KTM PACKTALK EDGE Special Edition allows riders to proudly display their loyalty for this iconic brand.”

Both versions feature a claimed 13-hours of battery life. They both also come standard with a USB-C plug and fast charging technology. A quick 20-minute charge gives users two hours of ride time, with a full charge achieved in less than two hours. In addition, the KTM PACKTALK EDGE is fully compatible with any KTM TFT* to receive FM radio (with six presets) or other App options. Over-the-air software updates via the Cardo Connect App mean that no cables or Wi-Fi adapters are required to ensure the KTM PACKTALK EDGE device is loaded with the latest firmware.

Same price

So while the internals of the KTM PACKTALK EDGE are not new, the new orange color is.  And, if KTM branding and an orange outer surface are important to you, you can get one at the same $389.95 MSRP as the standard PACKTALK Edge. The KTM PACKTALK EDGE will be available from KTM and Cardo System retailers in June or ordered directly from www.cardosystems.com.
