Cardo Spirit HD Single Motorcycle Bluetooth Intercom – 600m, 40mm HD, FM – SPRT0002

The Cardo Spirit HD is the version with the best audio in the entry-level Cardo range: 40mm HD speakers, integrated FM radio, and intercom for up to 600 meters between two riders. This is the single pack (Single, code SPRT0002): one unit, for one helmet. Compared to the "base" Spirit, you gain sound, range, battery life, and radio — while remaining in an accessible price range.

✓ Strengths

• 40mm HD speakers – this is the difference immediately noticeable compared to the 32mm speakers of the base Spirit: music and voice remain clear even on the highway.
• Integrated FM radio – listen to the radio without using your phone's data and without taking it out of your pocket.
• Intercom up to 600 m between two riders: 200 meters more than the Spirit, and noticeable on open roads.
• 13 hours of talk time – a full day's ride without needing to charge.
• Fast charging – 20 minutes of charging provides 2 hours of battery life; full charge in 2 hours.
• IP65 certified – resistant to rain and dust, can be left on the helmet all year round.
• Over-the-air software updates with the free Cardo Connect app: no cables.
• 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

Spirit HD or Spirit "base"?

Compatibility

The Cardo Spirit HD is a universal accessory: it is not tied to a specific motorcycle or scooter model, but mounts on the helmet. The kit is designed for full-face, modular, open-face, and off-road helmets. The intercom works between rider and passenger and between two motorcycles, and according to specialized retailers, it also communicates with Bluetooth devices from other brands.

Who it's perfect for

It is the choice for those who truly listen to music on their motorcycle, not just occasionally: the 40mm speakers change how a helmet sounds at 130 km/h, and the FM radio is a convenience that all lower-range intercoms lack. It's also good for those who ride long distances and don't want to worry about battery life — thirteen hours cover a real journey — and for those who ride with a companion on open roads, where the 600-meter range prevents losing connection with every overtake. If, however, you need the intercom for your commute and to talk to your passenger in the city, the base Spirit does the same job and costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the real differences between Spirit HD and Spirit?
Four things, all declared by Cardo: 40mm HD speakers instead of 32mm, integrated FM radio which the base Spirit does not have, 600 meters range instead of 400, and 13 hours of battery life instead of 10. Connectable riders, IP65 certification, app, and warranty are identical.

Is the single pack enough to talk to a passenger?
No. The Single pack contains only one unit, so it equips only one helmet. For rider-passenger or bike-to-bike communication, you need two units: you can buy two Single packs or the DUO pack, which comes factory-paired and saves you the pairing procedure.

Does the FM radio work without a phone?
Yes. The FM radio is integrated into the unit: you tune in stations and listen without connecting your smartphone and without consuming data. This is one of the most significant differences compared to the base Spirit, which does not have a radio. The phone can still be connected via Bluetooth for calls, music, and navigation.

Can it be used in the rain?
Yes. The Cardo Spirit HD is IP65 certified, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets. It is designed to stay on the helmet all year round. However, it is not designed for immersion: avoid submerging it and dry it before recharging.

Can it be updated and configured wirelessly?
Yes. The Cardo Spirit HD receives over-the-air software updates via the free Cardo Connect app for iOS and Android, which is also used for initial configuration and managing radio, volumes, and pairing. The USB-C cable is only necessary for charging.
