Momentum. As the paratroopers used to say, “He who hesitates inherits the earth!” 🙀🏍️

just less lugagge would do the job😂

@mrbase111 definitely!

The Antenna... Well, let me be absolute honest. Until this day, I have never really experienced a difference whether I have the antenna out or not. The CARDO can still play music from the phone or connect to other cards with the antenna in. The only thing that could be improved (that is my best guess) is the reception of the built-in FM Radio. But I have never intentionally used the FM radio.

Thanks, Alex! It feels good to hear that I’m not the only one who tried the TET and failed :D. I have planned for another Off road training and im looking forward to it! There is always something more to learn. But I heave definitely gotten better at picking up my bike :D and I will never stop picking it up.

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the choice of bikes on the TET. It's important to remember that adventure bike riding is diverse, and there's no one "right" bike. Riders have various skills, preferences, and reasons for choosing their motorcycles. The TET offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and skill development. Many riders start with limited off-road experience and improve as they go along. What might seem challenging can be a rewarding adventure. Let's celebrate the diversity within the adventure riding community and support each other in our shared passion. What may appear "ridiculous" to some is an exciting adventure to others.

Ja, Geschwindigkeit ist der Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Ich war dieses Jahr noch einmal dort, und wer hätte es gedacht, mit mehr Geschwindigkeit und ohne Filmausrüstung ging das plötzlich wirklich super. Vor allem, wenn jetzt die ersten Kratzer an der Maschine sind, ist es nicht mehr so schlimm, wenn sie noch einmal umfällt. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder hingehen. Mittlerweile bin ich aus der Region Wien, Österreich, aber das sollte kein Hindernis sein. :) Nicht vergessen, lackierte Seite nach oben Gummierte nach unten :)

Thank you for your encouraging words! Yes, I finally found out that speed is the key. I went there again this year, but without the entire filming equipment, and guess what, it was a lot easier than last time! But everyone has to start somewhere. :)

Wow, I visited Sardegna too, about a month ago, both on and off road riding. Great place to enjoy riding a motorcycle 💪

Ich habe mich halt wirklich durch andere Videos verleiten lassen, teile des TET zu fahren, die auf Videos von anderen super einfach ausgesehen haben. Aber was ich gelernt habe, man kann einfach Segmente des TET überspringen. Ich wünsche dir aber auf jeden Fall viel Spaß! Es macht echt mega Laune, den TET zu fahren! Wenn du die Möglichkeit hast, schau dir mal Motowinch von Eastbound an (oder vergleichbares). Das kann dir im Notfall extrem helfen, deine Maschine wieder aufzurichten, den auf dem TET ist sehr sehr sehr wenig los ;)

The EDGE/NEO provides superior sound quality due to its updated audio profiles, and the 40mm speakers are compatible with almost all helmet types. There have been reports from some individuals stating that the 45mm speakers were too large and required foam adjustments within the helmet. However, Cardo offers 45mm speakers in the "speakers" category of their shop, should you prefer them.

The pressure pump is still functioning flawlessly, and I have not encountered any issues with it so far. However, the inline tire gauge hasn't aged well. After my trip to Sardinia last summer, I had to dispose of it since it became unreliable. I wasn't able to obtain an accurate pressure reading anymore. Therefore, I replaced it with a digital inline gauge.

The gage is great! you can get the "MOTOPRESSOR INLINE TYRE GAUGE" either directly from the rockycreekdesigns web page. But if you prefer the inline gage to be digital, I recommend the "Topeak Shuttle Digital in-line tire gauge" you can get it at "eastbound.shop". I have changed to the digital one as I have a better control over the pressure in the tires.

@@advgnome Thank you for the response.

Thanks! they have released an update. Have you experienced any improvements so far?

What do you mean with "Microphone output very low"? Do the others in your group don't hear you or say that you are barely audible?

Well, basically yes, you have to create groups with the edge in order to group with older devices like the Bold. You are not able to join a group (that was created with one of the older units) with your edge. According to the Cardo systems support Quote, "PT Edge can not join the existing group. It is designed to be the admin. There is a need to create a new group." Creating a group with the EDGE is fast and reliable when creating a new group with the older units.

@@advgnome Ohh okay. I listened to your video whilst quite tired. So there is backwards compatibility where it counts. It'll just be inconvenient if you were to want to ride with a random group and tell them 'sorry yall, could you all join my group so that you can hear ME?' haha. Otherwise, not too bad I spose.

@@Snoupity You are absolutely right! It happened to me already, and they were so confused why Cardo would so such a thing. Apart from that, I'm very happy with the EDGE! And thanks for watching my Video ;)

Thanks for watching my video, i hope you enjoyed it! there will be more videos in the future with a more regular upload schedule, so stay tuned ;)

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!

I will eventually do it!

With the EDGE the pairing process has changed. After pressing the Phone Button for 5 seconds and then for pairing your GMW roll the control wheel backward. That should work. I actually just tried it with my neighbors 850GS and it was working with me.

@@advgnome Thanks for helping. That's what I try to do. The problem is... When I pair the motorcycle in motorcycle mode, the cardo edge is disconnected from the phone.

@@advgnome Hello ADVGnome. Yes, it connects to the motorcycle in motorcycle mode, but it automatically disconnects from the phone and the app stops working.

Ok so I think I have the Solution! 
you need to make sure that the GS gets paired to the second bluetooth channel. Meaning Press the Phone pairing button for 5 Seconds then roll the wheel forward to get to the second channel, then move the wheel back to go into the Bike pairing mode.

@@advgnome Thanks for your answer. That's exactly what I do. But when I pair the second channel, the first bluetooth channel is disconnected.

Thanks @mark steel! I hope you have a lot of fun with your new Cardo!

Well Amazon jacked my order up and sent me the special black addition so now I have reordered the edge and have to return the black but hopefully it will be in a couple days was so looking forward to receiving it guess I'll have to wait a little longer

Oh NOOOO! that is unfortunate! I hope the you receive your unit asap!

I had the same Problem after I paired my device with my phone and then with my SatNav. I solved it with a factory reset and deleting from my phone including restart and then paired it again. Now it is working fine and it takes only around 30 seconds until it connects. What apparently works as well is when you close the app down and shutoff Bluetooth then switch it back on and open the app again. I hope that helps you. Just out of curiosity, are you having it paired with a SatNav or any other Cardo device?

@@advgnome I tried what you did, same result, the phone paired with the unit but the PackTalk app still says 'no unit found.'

Hmmm are you only connecting your phone or also a satnav or other device?

@@advgnome No, I am not connected to any other device. Only the iPhone while attempting to connect to the CARDO app on the phone. The EDGE unit connects to my phone with no problem. I can make and answer phone calls via the EDGE, the CARDO app just refuses to recognize that the EDGE is paired to the phone and is available to connect with the phone app. It continues to state "no unit found."

I was able to resolve the problem today. I went online to download the CARDO updater to my computer. What a PITA that was; very slow install; requiring a restart--took me about an hour to connect the Edge unit to the site and start the update; patiently waited on the update to complete at a snails pace. Still wouldn't connect to the app on the iPhone. I finally figured out the I needed to go to the apps on the phone and enable the Cardo app to use Bluetooth. Result: I am extremely happy with the system. The app on the phone makes programing the Edge a breeze. Selecting the FM stations and the preset phone numbers a snap.

You are absolutely right with that! I have the same Problem. I have already contacted Cardo about that but until now I haven’t received a working fix for that. I have tried it with my other devices and still only got it to work once after what felt 100 tries. We usually make me the group admin and then it works in seconds and everything is fine. But joining an existing group is a real nightmare when you just want to start the ride. I hope I either get a response from Cardo or they fix it with an update. What ever comes out il let you know!

@@advgnome yea I hope they fixed it! I do want to buy the edge down the line will be waiting when it goes on sale

I think that is the best way to go! hopefully until then they will have fixed it.

@Chris Antonio I don´t have good news, Cardo has just confirmed to me again that it will not be possible to join a group that was created with anything than an EDGE. I Quote " This will remain the case because the PT-Bold is a quality level (mesh) below the Edge. Thus, the group of an edge must always be created, then the "lower quality levels" (e.g. PT-Bold) can be added."

@@advgnome ok this is informative. Thanks for the information. Now i know what I'll be telling people at the next ride and what to do about it

I am very happy with the Cardo and even upgraded my wife to it. Let's go into your Points. - Others here me fine, but that always depends on more than just one factor. Example we have one in our group that I can barely hear, and when we swap the devices (Packtalk Black) it got a bit better. But he is not using a full face helmet and has the mic directly in the Wind. We adjusted his settings after that it was better. - We did not experience more cut-offs than with the Bold or other devices. The distance seems to be a bit smaller than the previous ones but I cannot verify that as it always depends on the surroundings. - What does annoy me is that joining a existing group almost never works (older devices being the group admin) If you (EDGE) are the group admin pairing works super fast and is reliable. But the other way around that is a totally different story. my personal opinion is that I would never go back.

@@advgnome Thanks a lot, might upgrade myself just based on this feedback!

Thanks! It is nice to hear that you liked the video! Regarding your question, well that depends. Personally I would not want to go back to a previous version. I love how I can finally communicate without any problems with the cardo and my phone (Volume Up/Down/next track/ call someone or dictate a message and so on). I also love that i dont have to fold out the antenna anymore. If you want to use the voice commands rather than pressing a button then you should definitely consider changing. But if your are just looking for better sound then you should invest in the 45 mm speakers, and then you can still upgrade at a later point. No matter how you decide i would love to hear what you went for.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't aware that the previous versions have smaller speakers as we use the 45mm speakers.

My friend has the same experience with the bold using Siri so I don't believe it's exclusive to Android or iPhone.

So I habe testet it today on my tour. I was going on the Autobahn at around 120kmh and I was able to create a new calendar event, dictate a simple message (regular message asking about the plans for the next rides), call a friend and play a specific Radiostation without any problems. With the text message however I found that it wasent 100% perfect. Also the voice commands towards the cardo were 95% successful at this speed. I was only using Siri and don’t have a android phone. The call quality was cristal clear and on the other end they did not realize that I was on my bike riding. I will have to try that again with my special edition black to get a better comparison but from my experience today I would say that it is a lot better.

@@advgnome cool, thanks for replying. Sounds much better. With my bold I have to shout quite loud to get it to activate Google assistant

You are absolutely correct! Every mistake I could have made I did 😂. I had a week long off-road training planned, but covid had other plans. But I will definitely do the training as soon as I can and it is available again. 👍

Yes, you can stream any music directly from your phone via Bluetooth or listen to the build in FM Radio. The EDGE manages the audio sources you hear through the speakers according to the following audio source priorities: GPS device instructions, then phone calls and last Music or Intercom. You can start or end a call via voice commands, your phone or the speed dail function with the edge. If you stream the music from your phone and have the navigation on your phone as well, you will have to manage the audio levels on your phone.

These were probably just deer, as they are running around in our area and also come into the gardens all year around.

Ja das war es! Wenn nur nicht die Straßen gleich neben an gewesen wäre!

Thanks :) The AX41 are work perfectly on the road even if you try to get it down in the corners in wet conditions I would not corner too fast. The singing of the tires gets louder the closer you get to the end of there lifespan. Off-road they are very good! Love the handling and how nimble they are, even with low psi. The downside is that the tire only lasted 6000Km.

@@advgnome Thank you! Do you remember that PSI you had on and off-road?

On the road I drive with apron 36PSI and in the dirt deplete as much as I need.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback!

Great to hear that I could help you with my videos!
