Communications maker Sena has launched the Spider X Slim, a new mesh-only intercom. Despite its thin, lightweight housing, it delivers full mesh performance. It runs on Mesh Intercom 3.0 and supports both Open Mesh and Group Mesh modes.
On a group tour, how stable your intercom is decides how comfortable the whole day feels. Mesh's advantage is that it stays connected even as the group grows. It's nice that the Spider X Slim looks like it has a light, slim fit. If the size is small enough not to bother you even left mounted on your helmet, it seems handy for quick chats at a roadside station too.

If it's thin and light, it'll probably reduce that squeeze feeling when wearing a helmet too — a quietly helpful improvement for long tours.
What's the difference between open mesh and group mesh?
Open mesh is the kind that connects you to random nearby riders, while group mesh only connects you to a set group of members.
New products always end up priced a bit higher, so I'm curious about the price gap with the old model.
Going thinner tends to sacrifice heat dissipation and battery life — wonder how that trade-off actually plays out here.
Sena's a manufacturer that's built up years of know-how on this kind of slimming down, so I don't think it comes at too extreme a cost.
This slim-down race against Cardo — spec battles like this are honestly great news for us as consumers.
Keeping full mesh performance even after slimming down is the real technical highlight here — curious what they did around the battery.
