I used the older Scala 2 for years till the deer wiped me (and it) out. I now ride with the Scala G9 and I'm pretty happy with its function. For full disclosure though, I did have to return mine for a replacement. (Took 4 days to get the new one back). I ride at times in heavy rain since I don't know any better and even though the device is water resistant. Something must have gotten wet inside and i lost the right speaker. No worries, they replaced the unit right away and I'm about to ride to Sturgis in the morning to test it out along the way.
