RiderInstinct Review
Our Take
The Novamente V6 Pro+ is a Bluetooth motorcycle intercom sold as a two-pack and pitched at group riders, off‑road users and tourers. The listing highlights a long-running battery, dual‑chip audio multitasking (so navigation or music can run while an intercom call is active) and noise reduction for clearer voice transmission at speed.
What you get on paper is a feature-rich, budget-oriented helmet headset: Bluetooth 5.1, support for up to six paired riders with a 1‑to‑5 switchable mode, full‑duplex 2‑rider intercom up to 800 m, and an 850 mAh battery claiming up to 25 hours of music time. The main trade-off to watch is that the product listing contains conflicting waterproof claims (IP65 in the title vs IP67 in the description), so verify the exact rating with the seller or manufacturer before relying on it for extreme-weather use.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
- Dual‑chip audio multitasking lets navigation or music play while intercom is active (listing claim)
- Supports up to six paired riders with 1‑to‑5 switchable intercom mode — flexible for groups
- Long listed battery life: up to 25 hours music / 18 hours talk and 260 hours standby
- CVC noise cancellation and Bluetooth 5.1 for clearer voice and stable connectivity (listing claims)
- Sold as a two‑pack and includes two microphone options plus mounting accessories
- Compatible with EUC handlebar remote for safer in‑ride control (remote not included)
What to Consider
- Listing shows conflicting waterproof ratings (IP65 vs IP67) — requires verification from manufacturer/seller
- Intercom range listed at 800 m and 2‑rider full‑duplex — not the same as multi‑party mesh intercom systems
- Limited published detail on buttons, app support or firmware updates in the supplied listing
- Build and audio claims are from the product listing; RiderInstinct has not independently verified performance
Scoring Breakdown
How It Performs
Design & Build Quality
The V6 Pro+ ships as a compact helmet pod with mounting accessories and two microphone options included. The listing emphasizes rugged, all‑weather use for dirt bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles. Note: the product listing contains inconsistent waterproof claims (the title references IP65 while the description and some product text cite IP67). We recommend verifying the official IP rating and any warranty/repair policies with the seller or manufacturer before relying on the headset for heavy‑weather exposure.
Comfort & Fit
The listing states the unit fits most standard helmet types (full‑face, modular and open‑face) and includes mic options to suit different helmet interiors. The listing does not provide speaker pad sizes, pod dimensions or weight, so assess fit with your specific helmet model and consider how the pod and mic routing will integrate with your helmet liner.
Performance
According to the listing, the V6 Pro+ uses CVC noise cancellation and Bluetooth 5.1 to maintain clear audio and calls at higher speeds. The dual‑chip arrangement is claimed to allow simultaneous full‑duplex intercom while music or GPS audio plays — a useful workflow if you rely on navigation and on‑the‑move communication. These performance claims are from the product description; independent verification is not supplied here.
Features
Key listed features include up to six paired riders with a 1‑to‑5 switchable intercom mode, 2‑rider full‑duplex intercom up to 800 m, dual‑chip audio multitasking, EUC handle remote compatibility, and CVC noise reduction. The package includes two mics and mounting hardware; the product is sold as a two‑unit pack, which simplifies pairing for two riders.
Ease of Use
Dual‑chip multitasking is designed to reduce the need to manually switch between audio sources. The unit is also listed as compatible with a handlebar remote for hands‑free control (remote not included). The listing doesn’t detail button layout, mobile app or pairing UX, so expect a learning curve and verify return/support options if ease‑of‑use is a priority.
Battery Life
The listing specifies an 850 mAh battery with up to 25 hours of music playback, 18 hours of intercom talk time and 260 hours standby. Those numbers are competitive for extended rides; as with all electronic claims, actual runtime will vary with volume, temperature and use patterns.
Durability
The listing positions the V6 Pro+ as weather‑ready for rain, snow and dusty environments. However, because the listing itself provides conflicting waterproof ratings (IP65 vs IP67), confirm the exact ingress protection rating with the seller or manufacturer before assuming submersion resistance or heavy‑weather durability.
Value for Money
At the listed price around $69.98 for a two‑pack, the V6 Pro+ offers a strong feature set on paper — long battery life, dual‑chip multitasking and multi‑pairing — which represents good value if those specific features meet your needs. Consider the lack of clear independent testing and the waterproof rating discrepancy when judging overall value.
Real-World Use
The listing targets group riders and off‑road users: two‑pack sales, an 800 m 2‑rider intercom range, and claimed dust/water protection. For paired riders who want to keep GPS and music active while speaking to a partner, the dual‑chip claim is directly relevant. For larger groups looking for simultaneous multi‑party conversations across multiple riders, a mesh system may be a better fit.
Comparison With Competitors
Compared with mesh intercom systems that support true multi‑party full‑duplex across many riders, the V6 Pro+ follows a Bluetooth approach that pairs up to six devices but supports a 2‑rider full‑duplex intercom with switchable connections. If you need full group mesh performance at higher rider counts, look at dedicated mesh products; if you value battery life and simultaneous audio from phone/GPS plus a simple intercom for one or two other riders, the V6 Pro+ can be a cost‑effective alternative.
Fit & Suitability
Who Is This Product For?
Who Should Buy It
Riders who want long listed battery life, the ability to run GPS/music simultaneously with intercom, and a budget-friendly two‑pack for paired riding or touring. Off‑road and ATV riders who need dust and water protection should still confirm the exact IP rating before purchase.
Who Should Consider Alternatives
Riders who require proven mesh multi‑party full‑duplex for large groups, those who need confirmed IP67 submersion ratings (verify with manufacturer), or buyers who require detailed app controls and documented firmware support in the supplied listing.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many riders can the V6 Pro+ pair with and what is the intercom range?
The listing states the unit can be paired with up to 6 devices and provides a 1‑to‑5 switchable mode. It also specifies a 2‑rider full‑duplex intercom range of up to 800 metres (listing claim).
How long does the battery last?
Per the product listing the V6 Pro+ uses an 850 mAh battery with up to 25 hours of music playback, up to 18 hours of intercom talk time and about 260 hours of standby.
Is the headset waterproof?
The product listing contains conflicting information: the title references IP65 while the description and some product text state IP67. Verify the exact IP rating and any water‑resistance limits with the seller or manufacturer before relying on the headset for heavy‑weather or submersion use.
Will this fit my helmet?
The listing says the V6 Pro+ fits most standard motorcycle helmets (full‑face, modular and open‑face) and includes two microphone options plus full mounting accessories to accommodate different helmet types.
RiderInstinct Verdict
Final Verdict
The Novamente V6 Pro+ presents a compelling package on paper: dual‑chip multitasking, support for multiple paired riders, long battery life and included mounting hardware make it attractive for paired riders and tourers. The key practical issues are the listing’s inconsistent waterproof rating and the fact that the performance and durability claims come from the product listing rather than independent testing. If those features match your priorities, confirm the waterproof rating and return/warranty terms with the seller, and the two‑pack format could be a solid, budget‑minded choice.
