We use this unit for our atv riding a lot.

It is the easiest unit out there to use, just turn it on and go.

The only thing I have noticed is the range is not as good as some of the other units we have tried.

They now have the G4 out. It has more features and dramatically more range for bike-to-bike. Of course it is more $$$.

No. I am just aware that it came out.

I still have a Q2 that I have yet to deploy . . . No other reason than sloth . . .

Have the Scala Rider Q2, owned for many years. Works great as a helmet-to-helmet intercom system, and also connects to other MONO bluetooth devices (cellphone, GPS, etc). Only shortcoming that I see is the relative transmission distance between devices - less than a quarter mile, unobstructed. Sounds like a nit, but if you are riding in a group it's easy to get more than 1/4 mile apart.

The Q2's are reasonably priced because the newer model is out that has STEREO bluetooth and a much greater transmission range (closer to a mile). But the new features come at a higher price.

I too have the Scala 2...works fine.
Let's put it this way...I used to casually catch the odd, good lookin' passerby with no audible comment from my 'bride' of many years.
Now, she quietly alerts me via the Scala even before I notice and says, "Just keep yer eyes on the road sweetie."
Oh yeah...the Scala works just fine... :lol:

I have used the scala Q2 for 2 years and love it. But just ordered the new one to get A2DP for stereo to my iphone. May sell the Q2 after confirming that new one is better for me.

hello
I have made a biggest mistake. I bought blueant F4 instead of buying scala. I have wasted a huge amount, just to buy that cheap product. The voice quality at high speeds sucks. People I spoke to couldn’t hear me when travelling above 60

I have the G-4 sitting on my desk in front of me right now. As soon as I catch up on a few winter reviews I will be installing this unit in my test helmets and checking them out.

We used the Scala Rider 2 all last summer in Alaska. The 1600 ft range seemed to work good for us on our trips. I did bite the bullet and ordered a pair of Scala Rider G4's. They are pricey at $299.95 each. Im waiting to try them out in the next week or so. I bought the G4 because I liked the performance of the G2 and also liked the fact that the G4 is supposed to transmit up to a mile between bikes. The G2 is also compatible with the G4 so we can add one of our G2's to the mix and have 3-way conversation when desired. I will add a little more once I get a chance to play with them.

Does anyone know if the Scala G4 will hook up to the Nolan N-Com bluetooth. My Nolan is the mono unit about 3 years old.
Thanks

Unless your N-com was made by cardo-scala(?), then I would say no. The G4 is backwards compatible to older cardo-scala systems but not to other vendors.
