All-new motorcycle GPS boasts a larger display, tougher exterior and enhanced navigation features to help on- and
off-road riders enjoy their journey
OLATHE, Kan./April 19, 2023/PR Newswire – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today
announced the zūmo XT2, the newest and most advanced addition to its popular
series of rugged, purpose-built motorcycle navigators. The zūmo XT2 stands out
from the pack, offering a sizeable 6”, ultrabright display giving riders a
noticeably bigger and brighter screen than the previous model.
Designed
to withstand extreme weather and rough terrain, it’s built to an IPX7
water-resistance rating and is equipped to operate with handlebar vibration,
unlike most cell phones. For riders who enjoy traveling with friends, the Group
Ride Mobile feature allows them to track everyone’s location via the Tread app
or use the Group Ride Radio accessory (sold separately) to track and talk with
friends when no cellular coverage is available.
"We’re confident that the larger and brighter zūmo XT2 will quickly become a
favorite companion for motorcycle adventures. It gives riders who enjoy the
thrill of gripping their handlebars, feeling the road beneath their tires and
finding scenery off the beaten path, the freedom to explore with peace of mind.”
– Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales
