Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced its newest and most advanced motorcycle-focused GPS equipment, zūmo® XT3.
Designed to endure handlebar vibration, bumpy rides and extreme weather, the device features a bright, glove-friendly display with either a 4.7 or 6-inch high-resolution screen. The new live lean angle gauge allows riders to see how far they’ve leaned on each turn in real time. Ride summary data is available to view after each adventure in the Tread® smartphone app.
“No matter if you’re touring or sport riding, the zūmo XT3 enhances every corner and every adventure – from dirt trails to winding roads to the racetrack. Rugged and packed with moto-specific tools, zūmo XT3 is the versatile companion for every ride.” Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President Consumer Sales and Marketing
