    Radios

    Looking to get a radio to be able to communicate with everyone what's the best bang of the buck ? Don't need anything fancy and like wearing my helmets.

    I have a 50watt that works fine, but if I was going to buy one right now I would get the 60watt Rugged radio, then you got to decide if you want the Bluetooth with helmet headphones kits, that’s where it starts getting expensive, right now I get buy with just the radio with mic, but I would like to upgrade to Bluetooth helmet kit.

    Your cost options really effect the range of your radio. If you just want to talk with the group in the 1 mile range, you can get my with a handheld setup. Then the 25, 50, 60, watt setups extend the range and can offer more permanent mounting options. I am a dealer for Rugged as well as PCI. Let me know if I can help. I will throw in a free helmet kit ($99) with your purchase as well, regardless of what option you choose. Later, Don

    I have had a 50watt and a 60watt , I would recommend a 60watt . I think a hand held is better the nothing but the 50 or 60 watt are the best way to go , on many of our rides we get strung out for miles and we have had a few people with hand held radios near the rear and we couldn't hear them when they had problems .

    The good part is that it's just plug and play as you get more options !!

    I've seen some good deals from Rugged on 60watt systems, I'm thinking of getting a 60watt , and installing my 50watt in my trailer as a base station, for me reason is I can mount the 60 watt in my dash, but not the 50

    We just saw a guy at Sand Mountain that use the I pad mount on X3 and a universal radio mount and mounted the radio up there . I know the mount they make for the X3 kind of sucks to get to !!
