To those of you waiting for the Scala Rider G4 Snow Powerset, the wait is over. We now have them in stock and available for shipping. In spite of Cardo's best marketing efforts the Snow Powerset is the same as the standard powerset with wired microphones instead of boom microphones attached to the clamp.

Date added: 06 Jan 2011 Sena SMH10 vs Scala Rider G4 Intercom Range Test (Suburban Terrain)
We recently tested the range of the Sena SMH10 vs the Scala Rider G4, to see which Bluetooth intercom boasted a very long range. What we found was that neither headset reached the range that was advertised. Both are much longer than the any other Bluetooth intercom on the market.
Our findings indicated that the maximum usable range of the Scala Rider G4 was around 1500 feet, and the Sena SMH10 was 1000 feet. The intercom sound quality of the Scala did drop off after 1100 feet, but was usable to around 1500 feet and dropped completely at 1550 feet. The conditions of the test could be described as suburban, so the ranges might be longer in wide open terrain with no pedestrians or other potential interference.
