Daytona has launched a new intercom, the 'RESO Pilot Pro,' priced at 48,400 yen. In addition to unlimited-distance calling, its standout feature shows riding companions' real-time location, and its usefulness was demonstrated during an actual touring test.
Building 'current location sharing' into an intercom is a genuinely practical touch. Unlimited-range calling matters too, but you genuinely get separated when riding in a group. Just being able to see where your friends are makes an enormous difference in reassurance. Whether the 48,400 yen price matches the functionality is something I'd want to verify by wearing it for hours and checking sound quality and usability.

Is the RESO Pilot Pro positioned as a step above the existing RESO lineup?
Judging by the name alone, this is probably the top grade of the Pilot series — with new features added, it should be positioned as the 'Pro'.
Trustworthy that they're introducing it through a real-world riding test — should give a good sense of how useful it actually is on a real tour.
Location tracking is going to depend on smartphone app pairing after all, so I'm curious about battery drain and how stable the pairing is.
¥48,400 for unlimited-range calling — that's a price bracket that goes head-to-head with the higher-end B+COM models.
If Daytona is packing in this many features, it could start eating into SENA and B+COM's market share too.
That group-location display feature would be a lifesaver if you get separated. Sounds like it could solve the whole getting-lost-on-a-group-ride problem.
