Which Riders Are the SENA 60 Series Recommended For?

The most important factor when choosing an intercom is what you prioritize during your touring rides.
We have summarized the features and recommended riders for each of the three models in a comparison table, so please refer to it.

SENA 60S: The Classic Flagship! For Those Seeking Stability and High-Quality Sound

Whether it's communicating with friends or enjoying music alone, this single device will surely satisfy your needs.
The 60S is a classic model that boasts stable communication with the new generation Mesh 3.0 and smooth operation thanks to its dual-core CPU.

Features a magnetic mount for easy one-handed attachment and detachment to your helmet.

The sound produced by the 2nd generation Harman Kardon speakers delivers rich audio even at high speeds.
A key advantage is that two sets of mount kits are included from the start.
For riders who use multiple helmets, such as a commuter jet helmet for weekdays and a full-face helmet for weekends, simply transferring the unit between helmets offers outstanding cost performance.

The drawback compared to its successor, the 60S EVO, is the omission of sensor functions (such as USB port sensors and antenna status detection).
However, its fundamental intercom performance is already perfected, making it the most solid choice for a first high-end unit.
Please note that the 60S has been announced as discontinued, and is being phased out in favor of the successor 60S EVO. We recommend purchasing soon if you are considering it.

SENA 60S EVO: For Riders Who Value "True Evolution" with Bose Sound and Usability

For seasoned riders with discerning ears who won't settle for anything less, we highly recommend the 60S EVO.
This is the second-generation flagship model, built upon the 60S and refined in every detail based on rider feedback.

"SOUND BY BOSE" custom tuning creates a supreme audio room experience.

Its most distinctive feature is the custom-tuned "SOUND BY BOSE".
This provides a natural soundscape that cuts through wind noise without causing fatigue even during long listening sessions, setting it apart from intercoms that merely offer high volume.
Furthermore, it is equipped with smart sensors that provide voice alerts for forgotten antenna deployment or foreign objects in the USB port.
These features, which help prevent potential issues in unexpected situations like sudden rain or dusty trails, offer peace of mind for long-distance tourers.

While the actual selling price is slightly higher than the discontinued 60S, the included limited lifetime warranty makes it a worthwhile investment if you plan to use it for a long time.

SENA 60X: Slim and Innovative! For Gadget Enthusiasts Who Want to Experience the Future of Intercoms

For sportbike riders who want to maintain the sleek lines of their helmets, the 60X is the optimal solution.
This model, where SENA has pursued design aesthetics to the extreme, is incredibly thin and integrates seamlessly with the helmet.

Features a slim, low-profile design and intuitive joystick operation.

It incorporates a newly developed joystick for operation, offering an addictive intuitive control experience even with gloves on.
It supports Qi wireless charging, making it effortless to simply place it on a charging pad after returning home – a convenience you won't want to go back from.
Additionally, it has a smart function that automatically turns the power ON/OFF in sync with helmet attachment and detachment.

With its array of innovative features, it might take a little getting used to if you're switching from a traditional jog dial.
However, if you desire the joy of mastering the latest gadgets and an unparalleled stylish appearance, the 60X is your only choice. It is scheduled for release in Fall 2026.

Common Strengths of All 3 Models: Mesh 3.0 and Wave Intercom Revolutionize Touring

The technology common to the 60 series transforms touring stress into a thing of the past.
The latest Mesh 3.0 maintains a surprisingly stable connection even when riders are out of sight behind buildings or around curves.

And the innovative feature is its support for the communication app "Wave Intercom".
This feature utilizes your smartphone's mobile data for communication, enabling calls with no distance or group size limitations.
Even if your group gets separated on the highway or one member reaches the rest stop ahead, you can continue your conversation.
This offers a new touring experience that eliminates the concept of "intercom communication range".
Another welcome feature is that the communication app "Wave Intercom" can be used by users of other brands' Bluetooth intercoms (such as B+COM, Daytona, Midland, etc.).
By combining the "Wave Intercom" app with an intercom from the SENA MESH series, including the 60 series, you can enjoy intercom calls without the hassle of pairing with other manufacturers or worrying about communication range.

Conclusion: Choose Your 60 Series Based on Your Touring Style

Finally, let's summarize the points to consider before purchasing.
If you prioritize cost performance, solid functionality, and use with multiple helmets, choose the "60S".
If you desire supreme Bose sound and the peace of mind offered by issue-preventing sensors, opt for the "60S EVO".
And if you want to experience cutting-edge gadget features like extreme thinness and wireless charging, the "60X" is for you.

Whichever model you choose, the comfortable communication environment provided by SENA's latest Mesh 3.0 is guaranteed.
Find the companion that best fits your touring style and make your next weekend even more enjoyable.
