One Button, Multiple Functions: The Simplicity of Smart Riding
Bike & Outdoors July 7, 2025
In the world of cycling, communication is everything – not only when you’re part of a peloton or navigating city streets with a riding partner, but also simply when aiming to stay safe and connected on the road. And nowadays, communication on bike doesn’t need to be complicated. Tech devices designed with Mesh Intercom™ at their core and a user-first philosophy built around one-button simplicity might be the game changer you were looking for.

What is Mesh Intercom™?
Mesh Intercom™ is Sena’s revolutionary communication technology that allows multiple riders to connect with each other in real-time without the need for manual pairing. Unlike traditional Bluetooth intercom systems that require pairing procedures and are limited in range or number of users, Mesh Intercom is self-healing, adaptive and scalable.
Once you power it on, the system automatically links up with nearby riders on the same channel, enabling instant group communication. Riders can drop out and rejoin the group seamlessly, without interrupting the flow for everyone else.
One button, endless possibilities
When you’re on a bike, your attention should stay on the road. That’s why devices with Mesh Intercom™ are designed for simplicity. Whether it’s a smart helmet or a cycling communicator, they feature intuitive multi-function buttons that let you control key features with just one touch. Connecting with fellow riders is as easy as pressing a single button.

It’s one button, but it does everything you need for a smarter, safer and more social ride.
Integrated helmets
Smart helmets equipped with Mesh Intercom™ technology are purpose-built for the connected cyclist. With these solutions, there’s no need to mount separate units or deal with dangling wires. The microphones and speakers are seamlessly built into the helmet, enabling clear communication even at high speeds or in windy conditions.

For example, the Sena S1 is a road helmet with an aerodynamic design that allows communication up to 1.2 km in range, while the Sena U1 is an e-bike helmet with a double antenna for reliable voice quality, also amidst the traffic of the city.

Helmets like these make group rides more coordinated. Just press the Mesh button and you’re in.
Cycling communicators
For cyclists who already have a preferred helmet, a cycling communicator can bring Mesh Intercom technology to any setup. They are compact, lightweight and easy to mount, turning any helmet into a smart helmet. They include the same one-button interface and the same powerful Mesh Intercom functionality found in the integrated solutions.

For example, the Sena BiKom 20 is a device optimized for long-range communication, allowing teams, training groups or families to stay in sync over extended distances.
Smarter rides start here
Mesh Intercom™, streamlined controls, integrated safety – this is smart riding made simple. We live in an era where we don’t need to rely on shouting to be heard, and where we don’t need to look at a screen to check the GPS directions. Communication systems for cycling equipped with Mesh Intercom™ technology make cycling safer and more enjoyable.
So the next time you go out for a ride with your group, just remember: one button is all it takes.
