Description
Specifically designed with riding in mind, the Renegade radio attaches securely to any backpack shoulder strap for easy, convenient use with the patent pending mounting system. Gone are the days of digging through backpacks and pockets to use your radio. The Renegade sits securely to your shoulder ready to use on your adventure.
Whether you are dirt biking or snowmobiling, reliable communication is of the essence for locating a lost rider, finding your buddy stuck in a thicket of trees, or any other circumstance you are sure to encounter. The license free Renegade radio has 22 channels with 121 sub-channels to communicate with all other industry radio brands. The removable lithium ion battery and power saver technology provides for 36+ hours of use. Transmitting at the U.S. legal limit of 2 watts, the radio has line-of-site range of 25 miles and a backcountry range of 1-5 miles.
Built to take on the elements, the Renegade can withstand the deepest snow and the worst downpours you can throw at it. Whether you are snowmobiling, dirt biking, hunting, or mountaineering, the Renegade radio will help keep you safe by providing an open line of communication. As a backcountry rider, we know how important weight & space is to you, which is why we designed this 140 gram radio to be as compact and lightweight as possible.

These work awesome we ride single track in the mountains and range seems to be at least two miles that we have tested. Comes in loud enough to hear over our headphones for music and is clear. Channel lock is nice… first time out we had both bumped to different channels. Super simple to use as well and batteries have lasted for days of riding.

So far they seem to be working good, unfortunately they do not work vehicle to vehicle on the roadway, but the real teat will be in Colorado at the end of July, then I will have a full review.

Have only used sledding 3 times so far… but the Renegade seems to be more practical than the BCA’s for me. Range seems about similar (maybe slightly less), but the price is significantly cheaper and the usability is much more efficient against the elements.

Very good reception at longer distances. Loud and clear.

Not much bigger than the BCA hand microphone. Everything in one very secure unit. Seems to have at least equal range as other 2 watt units.

I’ve had these for over a month and would highly recommend them to anyone. I’ve used the bca link for years and for me this works far better. So far I’ve used it for backcountry skiing and snowbiking. Design is simple I turn it on lock the function and go all day without ever accidentally switching channels. Range is great. Battery life is good I get 2-3 days of riding without charging if needed. Great company if your waiting for yours due to growing pains it’s because their product is worth it!

Radio itself is nice but battery fully charged at 9 am didn’t last till 2 pm very minimal use in between. It was cold but my old bca radio I had in my pack as a backup lasted the day.

Bout this radio for out west riding snowmobile. Performed very well in the woods and backcountry. 2 other guys I was with had BCA radios an talked to them just fine with good range. Very nice radio!

So far, so good. Only been out a couple times with them, but they are performing flawlessly.

It is a decent unit lightweight and pretty easy to use. The clip is strong and secure but it does make the radio stick out a way from the strap it gets in the way when i have to cross my arm, but it is very stout. placement is important if mounted to high on your shoulder strap the antenna is in the path of your helmet while turning your head. other than those minor issues i am happy with this radio. i would reccomend it to others not wanting to spend a fortune on a pack radio.

Hey Brad,
Sorry you haven’t received it yet. We did ship it right away, but the postal services do get a little backed up this time of year. Thanks for your business and support!

I like the radio overall, wish the PTT button was a bit bigger and the two buttons underneath were in a different locations, I tend to hit those buttons with gloves etc. The clip does not fit on BCA vests, but that is expected and fits normal backpacks just fine.

Hey Craig,
Thanks for the feedback. We’ll definitely take your recommendations into consideration.
