MANILA: Reso, the newest contender in the Philippine premium motorcycle communications arena, will be publicly revealed by April this year.

During its media preview, the Shenzhen-headquartered marque shall be at the Makina Moto Expo on April 4-6.

Following this, the brand will launch the Reso Pilot Pro as its initial product for the local market. The soon-to-be-available product will be going against Cardo Packtalk Pro and Sena 50S.

So, what are the new product’s features? Here’s what we learned about Reso Pilot Pro during a recent media preview.

Product details

The Reso Pilot Pro can provide a range of 2.5 kilometers or up to 12 kilometers for a team made up of 30 riders (maximum number of connections) with the help of its DuoSync hard mesh system. Its soft mesh communication system gives users unlimited range by connecting it to a mobile hotspot.

When fully juiced-up, the device can be used for longer hours as it comes with a 1,950-milliampere-hour battery that can be utilized for up to:

Listening to music alone:	18 hours
Mesh intercom and music listening	13 hours

The Reso Pilot Pro can be fully charged for an hour (or less) using a Type-C USB cable.

It also features a self-developed noise reduction system and its multi-channel audio system has adaptive mixing and volume adjustment.

Users need not worry about the rain when using the Reso Pilot Pro since it is IP67-rated waterproof. Its magnetic mounting base securely fastens the device.

During a media preview, Reso Philippines Chief Executive Officer Julius King shared that the upcoming product can be interlinked to action cameras — allowing users to record their voice using the microphone.

Further, buyers of the Reso Pilot Pro can enjoy technologies such as:

• Music sharing
• Intelligent voice assistant support
