The Spider ST1 and RT1 communication headsets use Sena’s Mesh Intercom system, which is an adaptive wireless technology that can intelligently search for lost connections and then reconnect them once they are back in range. Intercom mode can be selected for a private group (up to 24 riders) or the mode can be set to connect anyone in range using the Mesh 2.0 network.

The headsets pair to devices using Bluetooth 5.1 and come in two configurations: the ST1 with a spinning jog-dial and the RT1 with three-button control pad. They cost $199 each.
