Removable SystemsFire Fox Route 66 Intercom System$180The Fire Fox Route 66 Intercom System is one of the simplest to use, as well as being a flyweight (less than 2 ounces, without batteries). There are no wires pre-attached to the main unit, just jacks for the rider and passenger headsets and a music source. An adapter is available to add a two-way radio for bike-to-bike communication, and a belt/pocket clip is included, but nothing in the system is bike- or helmet-mounted. The speakers are small earphones with soft earpieces that also help attenuate noise, but the microphone is what sets this system apart from the rest: It's a throat mic. This is the same technology used by law enforcement, the military and, apparently, avid paintball players. It takes a few minutes to adjust to the mic, but it doesn't pick up road, wind or bike noise, and it requires only a whisper to operate.Dimensions: 2.25"W x 2.5"H x 0.75"Dwww.firefoxtechnologies.com; (866) 890-0371
