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

The Cardo Spirit HD is the best-sounding version in Cardo's entry-level range: 40 mm HD speakers, built-in FM radio, and intercom range of up to 600 metres between two motorcyclists. This is the single-pack version (Single, code SPRT0002): one unit for one helmet. Compared to the "standard" Spirit, you get better sound, range, battery life and a radio — all at an affordable price.

✓ Key features

• 40 mm HD speakers – you can hear the difference immediately compared to the 32 mm speakers of the standard Spirit: music and voices remain clear even on the motorway.
• Built-in FM radio – listen to the radio without using your phone's data or taking it out of your pocket.
• Intercom range of up to 600 m between two riders: 200 metres more than the Spirit, which you'll notice on open roads.
• 13 hours of talk time – plenty for a full day of riding without having to look for a power outlet.
• Fast charging – 20 minutes of charging provides 2 hours of battery life; fully charged in 2 hours.
• IP65 certified – resistant to rain and dust, so it can stay on your helmet all year round.
• Wireless software updates via the free Cardo Connect app: no cables required.
• 2-year warranty.

Compatibility

The Cardo Spirit HD is a universal accessory: it is not tied to a particular motorcycle or scooter model, but is mounted on the helmet. The kit is designed for full-face, modular, jet and motocross helmets. The intercom works between a rider and a passenger and between two motorcycles, and can also connect with Bluetooth devices from other brands.

Who is it perfect for?

It is the choice of those who really enjoy listening to music while riding, not just occasionally: 40 mm speakers change the way a helmet sounds at 130 km/h, and FM radio is the convenience that all lower-end intercoms lack. It is also ideal for those who cover long distances and don't want to worry about the battery — thirteen hours covers a full day's riding — and for those who ride together on open roads, where the 600-metre range prevents losing the connection every time you overtake. If you need the intercom for the commute between home and work and to talk to a passenger in the city, the standard Spirit does the same job and costs less.

Frequently asked questions

What really changes between the Spirit HD and the Spirit?
Four things: 40 mm HD speakers instead of 32 mm, built-in FM radio which the standard Spirit does not have, 600 metres of range instead of 400, and 13 hours of battery life instead of 10. The number of riders connected, IP rating, app and warranty are identical.

Is the single pack enough to talk to a passenger?
No. The Single pack contains one unit, so it only equips 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 process.

Does the FM radio work without a phone?
Yes. The FM radio is built into the unit: you can tune into stations and listen without connecting your phone or using mobile data. This is one of the most practical differences compared to the standard Spirit, which does not have a radio. Cardo states 6 preset channels. You can still connect your phone 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 charging.

Can it be updated and configured without cables?
Yes. The Cardo Spirit HD receives wireless software updates via the free Cardo Connect app for iOS and Android, which is also used for initial setup and managing the radio, volume and pairings. The USB-C cable is only needed for charging.

Is it a genuine Cardo product?
Yes: it is a new, genuine Cardo Systems product in sealed packaging (code SPRT0002), with the unit, microphone and 40 mm HD speakers supplied by Cardo. Moon Bike S.r.l. ships it from Italy, from Cercola (NA), with an invoice and a 2-year warranty.
