FYI, this story is more than a year old

In the opening scene, lead actor Shia LaBeouf (former Blockbuster hit and Transformers star) sports a Scala Rider communication device whilst riding through the streets of New York. The “Cardo” logo can clearly be seen on the device and makes a statement of “a stylish and safe way” to communicate via Bluetooth whilst riding in a busy city street.

The Cardo team is proud the production team chose the Scala Rider Solo out of all of the Bluetooth devices on the market and incorporated it in to such an early scene in the movie.

Chris Ryan of Strike said it was an honour to have a leading product from one of their exclusive suppliers in a Blockbuster movie. “It gives the product credibility and proves the quality assurance of Scala Rider devices. It’s great to see Cardo receive global publicity.”

For anyone who is wanting to get their hands on a Scala Rider product, Strike’s dedicated and friendly sales staff would be more than happy to assist. With prices ranging from A$399 - $699 consumers can choose from a single or dual headset to suit their riding requirements.

All Scala Rider products come with a 12 month warranty and are designed to be enjoyed for many years to come by riders of all ages. So what are you waiting for? Follow Shia LaBeouf’s lead and cruise the Australian city streets in style! Visit strike.com.au today.
