Off-road motorcyclists usually ride in smaller groups than highway tourers. The Novamente V6 Pro+ is a 2-pack unit with up to 6-rider pairing, dual-chip audio multitasking, and IP65 waterproofing for trail dust and rain. The V6 Pro+ sits in the small-group Bluetooth area of our intercom comparison table, alongside the mesh-based Novamente Q8 for riders looking at options within the same brand.
Communication and connectivity
Users can create a group of up to 6 riders through the 1-to-5 switchable pairing function of the V6 Pro+. Riders get full-duplex two-way intercom communication up to 800 meters in open terrain. In actual dirt bike and ATV riding, you can expect roughly 300 to 600 meters between the two closest riders, since trees, terrain, and helmet shells block lines of sight and create radio frequency interference. To extend the chain of riders as far as possible, each user needs to remain in range of at least one neighbor to maintain the connection.
Universal Bluetooth pairing exists with all other major motorcycle intercom brands for two-rider voice calls. Hands-free voice calling, GPS turn-by-turn directions, and music streaming through phone-side Bluetooth are also available.
Audio quality
Dual-chip audio multitasking enables multiple audio streams to run simultaneously on the V6 Pro+ and lets riders listen to music or receive GPS navigation directions while holding an active intercom conversation. The dual-chip design eliminates the manual switching found on single-chip entry-level intercoms. Owner reports indicate that the audio quality is clear and audible at typical dirt bike and ATV speeds, where wind noise is typically low and less audio output is required.
The boom-style microphone with foam windscreen provides good voice transmission for all group members during typical dirt bike and ATV operation, including varying speeds where conversation matters for safety.
Noise cancellation
Outgoing voice signals are filtered through a noise cancellation circuit and the foam windscreen surrounding the boom mic. While performance is adequate at the speeds associated with dirt bikes and ATVs, where wind noise is minimal, riders also using the V6 Pro+ on street motorcycles will find voice clarity holds up to about 60mph on full-face helmets before wind interferes with the mic signal.
Build quality and installation
The unit mounts through a sliding clamp, with an adhesive-backed plate providing added stability against vibration and movement. The unit carries an IP65 rating, protecting against dust and water spray from any direction. This rating is sufficient for off-road use, where dust and trail spray are constant. Many owners have ridden extensively across dusty trails and rainy days without issue. A rotary volume dial and two glove-friendly push buttons for intercom and phone functions make up the control panel.
Initial helmet installation typically takes around 15 minutes. Velcro-backed speaker pads slide into standard helmet ear pockets. Modular and open-face helmets use a boom microphone, and a wired microphone with fabric windscreen is provided for tight full-face helmets. When purchased as a 2-pack, both units ship pre-paired, which removes the setup process and lets riders start using them immediately.
Battery life and charging
Novamente does not publish a specific talk-time figure for this model. Owner reports state that continuous usage lasts approximately 10 to 12 hours, and multi-day standby is possible on a single charge. Recharging through USB-C takes approximately three hours. For typical day rides of four to six hours of off-road or trail time with intercom and music active, there is reserve power left over when the ride wraps up.
What reviewers say
Early reviews with an average rating of 5.0 stars highlight several points about the V6 Pro+. Owners like the convenience of the 2-pack configuration over separate purchases, particularly for couples and riding partners who want both units pre-paired. Owners also find value in dual-chip technology that enables simultaneous intercom communication and music or GPS audio without manual mode switching. Finally, owners have experienced no issues with the IP65 construction during trail dust and rain exposure.
While the early review base is small, long-term reliability data is not yet available. Riders who want a historical track record of reliability may wish to explore competing brands with larger review pools. Initial adopter feedback so far appears to be positive.
Who should buy this
The Novamente V6 Pro+ is a solid choice for off-road enthusiasts who run group rides of two to six riders and want a simple Bluetooth intercom capable of multitasking audio. Dirt bikers, ATV riders, and snowmobile pairs who ride together regularly will benefit from both the 2-pack price savings and the pre-paired setup. Because of the IP65 rating, the V6 Pro+ performs reliably in the trail dust and spray conditions encountered during off-road riding.
This is a daisy-chain Bluetooth product rather than a mesh-enabled one, so groups of seven or more riders would be better served by the Novamente Q8 or another mesh product supporting 8 or more riders. Riders committed to Cardo or Sena should remain loyal to those brands, because cross-brand pairing is limited to two-rider universal Bluetooth voice calls.
FAQ
How many riders can use the V6 Pro+ intercom?
Up to 6 riders can use the V6 Pro+ group intercom function through a 1-to-5 switchable pairing setup. Universal Bluetooth pairing with other brands supports a two-rider voice call.
Is it suitable for off-road use?
Yes. The V6 Pro+ meets IP65 standards for resistance to dust and water spray from any direction, which suits off-road conditions that include trail dust and rain.
Does it pair with Cardo or Sena units?
Yes, but only through universal Bluetooth pairing, which supports a two-rider voice call. The 6-rider group intercom function works only between Novamente V6 Pro+ units and compatible Novamente models.
Are the units pre-paired when shipped?
Yes. Both units in the 2-pack arrive pre-paired, which removes the setup step for couples and riding partners.
How does dual-chip multitasking work?
Dual chips enable separate processing of voice and music. Music or GPS audio can play while you are engaged in an active intercom conversation. Single-chip budget intercoms typically require manual switching between modes, which interrupts both audio streams during the transition. The dual-chip approach prevents that interruption.
What helmets does the V6 Pro+ fit?
The clamp mount fits most modern modular, sport, off-road, and touring helmets without modification. Motocross-style helmet riders typically use the boom mic, and riders running tight full-face street helmets typically use the wired mic option included in the kit. The adhesive backing plate covers riders who prefer not to use the clamp on a particular helmet shape.
Is the 2-pack better value than buying two singles?
Yes. The pre-paired units ship with both speakers and mics at a per-unit price less than two separate purchases. The 2-pack is the obvious starting point for couples and riding partners.
