TomTom RIDER, designed to make every motorcycle ride more exciting. For the first time, bikers can choose the level of twists and turns they want to ride to create their own adrenaline-filled adventure.

The all-new TomTom RIDER helps bikers discover and explore new routes. Simply select an area to ride on the map and TomTom RIDER will suggest the most exciting round-trip. Bikers can build excitement before setting out by creating and sharing touring adventures with friends and uploading direct to their TomTom RIDER.

“TomTom RIDER gives bikers more ways to create and discover exciting routes, so every ride can be an adventure,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, President, TomTom, Inc. “From sea to shining sea, bikers using RIDER will have the option of choosing routes to cruise the open road with confidence, lean into twisties along mountain peaks, and everything in between.”

The stylish, yet rugged TomTom RIDER has been completely redesigned for life on the road.

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. Bluetooth® enabled audio instructions delivered to the headset or helmet, give bikers more freedom to just enjoy the ride.

The new TomTom RIDER will be available in April.
