STEPHEN DERMER, SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA
“... the BK-1 works great. You can hear each
other really well – nice, clear and loud (volume is
adjustable by big, easy-to-find buttons on the top
of the radio)”
FATCYCLIST. COM / JAN 2012
“... the system is everything promised: clear,
no-wind-noise communication via a signal that
seems only interrupted when a mountain sits in
between the riders.”

Talk. Listen. Ride.™
Imagine riding your bicycle and talking, not
shouting, to your cycling partner riding several
meters behind you. No need to stop along the
way or slow down. With the new cardoBK-1,
conducting a conversation while cycling, is very
much a reality.
The cardoBK-1 provides voice-activated true
3-way intercom conferencing at a range of up to
500m. You can ride at a distance and still remain
in touch by communicating in crystal clear, full
duplex intercom mode.
From January 2013* the cardoBK-1 will allow
communication between 5 cyclists.
In addition to 3 riders engaged in intercom
conferencing, the cardoBK-1 will offer a new
Toggling feature and the ability to communicate
to 2 additional partners.
*This feature will also be available through the cardo BK-1
software update.
Your World on the Move
While riding you can connect to your mobile
phone, GPS device, FM and MP3 player.
* iPhone™ Android smartphones compatible.
Safety
With its intuitive embedded voice control, you
almost never need to remove your hands from
the handlebars. A simple “yes”, for example, will
accept an incoming call.
Sharing vital immediate information with your
cycling partners makes your ride a lot safer.
High-end speakers hovering above the ears,
deliver excellent audio quality and maximum
comfort while allowing awareness of your
surroundings.
Design Comfort
Aerodynamic and lightweight (under 50 grams)
Waterproof and dustproof (IP67), adapts easily to
any environmental conditions.
Your body is not encumbered by wires and the
speakers float without touching your ears.
The cardoBK-1 provides you with a sense of
freedom never experienced before.
