PLANO, Texas – Cardo Systems, the global leader in wireless communication systems for powersports riders, today announced the HJC
PACKTALK, giving HJC riders access to Cardo’s premium PACKTALK experience through a communication system purpose-built specifically for their helmet. Developed in collaboration with HJC Helmets, the fully integrated system brings Cardo’s industry-leading Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) technology to select HJC models while preserving the helmet’s original design, fit and aerodynamics.
For riders, choosing a helmet is personal. Fit, comfort, protection, aerodynamics and style all factor into finding the right one. Developed collaboratively by Cardo and HJC, HJC PACKTALK integrates directly into the helmet, preserving its original design and aerodynamics while providing the connectivity, audio performance and rider-to-rider communication expected from Cardo’s PACKTALK platform.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring this collaboration to market,” said Shachar Harari, VP of Business Development, Cardo Systems. “HJC riders have already chosen the helmet that works for them. They shouldn’t have to compromise that experience to get the communication technology they want. By developing HJC PACKTALK specifically around the helmet, we’re able to give riders the full PACKTALK experience while maintaining the fit, comfort, aerodynamics and design they expect from HJC.”
“With the launch of PACKTALK, our full product lineup is now complete, offering riders a broader range of options,” said Max YEO, Director of Sales & Marketing Div. at HJC Helmets. “In particular, the enhanced DMC is expected to further improve connectivity and make communication more seamless. We look forward to further strengthening the collaboration between HJC and CARDO through the launch of PACKTALK and continuing to deliver a more comfortable and satisfying riding experience.”
At the heart of HJC PACKTALK is Cardo’s second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication technology, providing fast, stable and self-healing rider-to-rider communication for groups of up to 31 riders. Unlike traditional Bluetooth pairing, DMC allows riders to leave and rejoin the group automatically without disrupting the conversation, creating a seamless communication experience whether riding with a passenger, a few friends or a larger group.
HJC PACKTALK offers up to a 1.6 km / 1-mile communication range and features premium 40mm JBL speakers, Natural Voice Operation, integrated FM radio and up to 13 hours of talk time. Over-the-air software updates make it easy for riders to keep the system current.
The introduction of HJC PACKTALK also completes Cardo and HJC’s current integrated communication portfolio, giving HJC riders three purpose-built options depending on how they ride:
• HJC PACKTALK: The premium option, featuring second-generation DMC for groups of up to 31 riders, 40mm JBL speakers, Natural Voice Operation, a 1-mile range and up to 13 hours of talk time.

• HJC SPIRIT: A straightforward, durable Bluetooth communication system for up to two riders, featuring 40mm HD speakers, a 0.25-mile range and up to 10 hours of talk time.
Designed specifically around the HJC helmet platform, the integrated system maintains the helmet’s intended profile. The communication system becomes part of it, bringing helmet and connectivity together in a cleaner, more integrated package. The HJC PACKTALK is compatible with the following HJC helmet models:
