What is the best basic motorcycle intercom?

Introduction

A motorcycle intercom lets riders talk hands‑free. You can chat with a passenger or a fellow rider. A basic intercom has simple features. It costs less and is easy to use.

This guide shows the best basic intercoms today. We focus on two‑way models. These let you communicate with one other rider. We cover key features and top picks.

What to Look For When Choosing a Basic Motorcycle Intercom?

Ease of Use

Controls should be simple for those basic intercoms. Big buttons or a jog dial will be helpful.

This makes sure the intercom can still be easy to operated even when you wear gloves.

Look for clear menus or voice prompts.

Range

Basic intercoms can support at least 300–600 meters. Choose a model that matches your riding style.

Short range is fine for city rides or rider and pillion communication.

For open roads, pick an intercom with a longer range will be better.

Battery Life

Day trips need 8–12 hours of talk time, so the battery capacity is a factor you need to consider.

Some Fodsports intercoms can support up to 20 hours. Fast charging is a plus for quick top‑ups.

Audio Quality

Noise‑cancelling mics can cut wind noise when riding at high speed. A mic with noise cancelation will capture the rider's voice more clear, and cut down the wind and engine noise.

What's more, the speakers are another aspect that may influence the audio quality. Speakers with  HiFi Stereo or high resolution tech will bring better sound quality to the riders.

Even riding at high speed, the voices still keep loud and clear.

Waterproof Rating

An IP67 rating protects against rain, snow as well as other moisture environments. Basic models often have water resistance, not full waterproofing. Check the specs before you buy.

Price

Basic intercoms usually cost $50–$150. Pick one that fits your budget. Avoid overspending on features you don’t need.
