The new TomTom RIDER helps bikers discover and explore new routes. Simply select an area to ride on the map and the RIDER will suggest the most exciting round-trip. Before setting out, motorcyclists can create and share touring adventures with friends and upload them direct to the device.

The stylish, yet rugged TomTom RIDER has been completely redesigned for life on the road and offers real-time traffic information to motorcyclists. An innovative rotating mount allows bikers to switch to portrait view to see more of the bends ahead. It has a glove-friendly, interactive screen to make it easy to find and explore new places, while Bluetooth enabled audio instructions are delivered to the headset or helmet, giving bikers more freedom to just enjoy the journey.

“We believe that every ride is a chance for adventure,” said Corinne Vigreux, co-founder and managing director, TomTom Consumer. “So we have designed TomTom RIDER to give bikers more ways to create and discover exciting routes. From the freedom of cruising the open road, to the thrill of leaning into the tightest curve on the highest peak, with RIDER, bikers can create and ride their own perfect adventure.”
