Launching X9 in Chongqing: Rethinking Group Communication at Scale

At the Chongqing International Motorcycle Exhibition, we addressed a recurring issue in group riding worldwide: communication breakdowns as groups grow larger and devices differ.

In large-scale rides such aslong-distance tours along Route 318 or weekend group events, most intercom systems only function reliably within the same brand ecosystem. Once a group exceeds6–8 riders or mixes devices, communication often fragments. Riders are forced to stop, relay messages manually, or ride without real-time coordination, increasing both frustration and risk.

To address this, we introduced the X9 Smart Bluetooth Intercom, designed for brand-agnostic group communication. During live demonstrations, we assembled groups of up to50 participants using different intercom brands, spread acrossmultiple exhibition halls and outdoor test areas.

A single leader initiated communication, while other riders joined dynamically within minutes. Even when spacing was deliberately expanded beyond800 meters and environmental noise such asengine revving and crowd noise was introduced, voice transmission remained stable, with one-to-one latency controlled at ≤90 ms.

This launch represented a key step in simplifying large-scale rider communication by removing brand and distance constraints.
