In the world of competitive cycling, split-second decisions can determine who wins and who falls behind. And more often than not, communication is the key to strategy, coordination and safety. As the sport evolves, so does the technology that supports it. Today, one of the most game-changing tools for cyclists is the intercom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of this revolution are the Mesh Intercom\u2122 systems, giving teams a direct, reliable line of communication during even the most intense moments on the road. For professional cycling teams like Team Picnic PostNL<\/a>, who are proudly sponsored by Sena, intercom systems aren\u2019t just a convenience, but a tactical necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tactical communication in real time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Team-based cycling is not just about who can pedal the fastest. It\u2019s about conserving energy, managing pace, responding to opponents\u2019 attacks and executing a unified strategy. Traditionally, this information was relayed through hand signals or radios. But these methods are limited, especially in fast-changing race dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter the BiKom 20<\/a>, Sena\u2019s latest cycling communication device, which Team Picnic PostNL has adopted for their training sessions and time trials. Using Mesh Intercom\u2122 technology, the team can speak in real-time without needing to fumble with buttons or worry about signal range, improving their practice sessions and rider-to-coach communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since Sena is all about connection, the BiKom 20 pairs with Shimano\u2019s Di2<\/a> system to deliver audible updates on gear shifts and battery status, allowing athletes to keep their hands and eyes on the road. They can easily activate the Sena microphone in their helmet by pressing a button built right into the handlebars. With this, riders can now enjoy an even smoother ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
