Introducing a new collaboration between Triumph and Beeline, the award-winning navigation brand, to deliver a dedicated Beeline navigation system in a unique Triumph-branded package. Designed to give Triumph riders all the benefits of this incredibly easy to use and elegant navigation system, with a minimal, stylish and robust design.
From its high-quality machined alloy case with durable IP67 waterproof and shockproof construction, to the premium laser etched Triumph branding, the new Triumph Beeline navigation system is perfect for all Triumph motorcycles, particularly the iconic Bonneville modern classic range.
User friendliness is one of the main characteristics of this new navigation choice, which can be securely mounted to any motorcycle in seconds thanks to the simple quick release twist-lock system and elasticated strap mount that comes as standard with every setup.
Using the Triumph Beeline is as easy as fitting it: riders simply need to download the free Beeline app, pair it to the device, choose their destination and press “go”, all without needing to remove their gloves as the device comes equipped with glove-friendly buttons. A quick start guide is included to make it even easier for every rider.
The back-lit display provides the rider with clean and clear directions in all lighting conditions, making it easy for the rider to follow the navigation instructions on the device. The rider is able to choose between two navigation modes: Route, which provides turn-by-turn navigation; and Compass, which enables the rider to follow a simple compass heading to reach the desired destination.
Triumph Beeline provides certified international navigation coverage in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
The user interface provides plenty of additional information to the rider thanks to the many features available, such as: speedometer, clock and trip computer, route tracking and sharing, metric and imperial information options and GPX route import option.
The 30-hour battery life and USB charging cable make the Triumph Beeline incredibly durable and practical. It also comes with a 2-year warranty, 12 months more than the standard Beeline, and free lifetime app and software updates.
Triumph Beeline will be available in Triumph dealers from 27th May 2021, and is priced at £199 (UK price).
Why bother buying a dedicated sat nav like the TomTom Rider 550 when your smart phone will do? It’s exactly the question I asked myself before my 10 day tour around the Pyrenees. When we got stuck in the mountains and my mates smartphone had failed to find signal and cooked itself, I knew I’d made the right choice.
You’ll want the Rider 550 because its the latest dedicated motorcycle sat nav that TomTom has to offer and it includes worldwide mapping and pre-loaded motorcycle Points of Interests (POIs). Like any sat nav, you’ll need to consider how to mount it on your bike – look no further than the premium pack. It will remain on and charged and docks/undocks with a single click. You can fit the anti-theft system but I find it easier to take with me. The unit is totally weatherproof and has sufficient touch sensitivity, even through gloves.
The best bit about the TomTom 550 is the ‘Plan A Thrill’ feature. Select a destination and then adjust how wiggly or how hilly the route should be. The Rider 550 gets creative and takes you down anything but a motorway or dull A roads. I have found superb routes across the country that only a local would know exist, just add some common sense when you’re about to go green laning on your S1000RR.
It has regular speed camera updates and you can get your phone to talk to it through a dedicated TomTom app called MyDrive, but only via WIFI. The Rider550 syncs with a bluetooth headset too, but this is sometimes hampered by bluetooth connection issues. In summary – hassle free navigation wherever you are in the world. Reliable, weatherproof and with succinct instruction, you’ll find superb biking roads when you fit a TomTom 550.
The TomTom RIDER 550 has several features to make it faster, smarter and better connected.
The features start with Wi-Fi® updating – no more wires or computer are needed to update the device with the included Lifetime Services* (World Maps, Traffic and Speed Cameras). When it comes to planning the ultimate adventure, the TomTom RIDER 550 offers access to TomTom Road Trips – with 150+ exclusive riding routes available to download. On the road, bikers will notice the, faster quad-core processor that delivers increased performance and a smoother navigation experience, and will appreciate that they can interact with their phone via Siri and Google Now™ voice assistants. Even smartphone messages can be read aloud via a headset.**
TomTom Road Trips has been created for bikers to discover the world’s best rides. Riders can browse and select incredible routes, personalise them, and easily sync them to the TomTom RIDER 550. Additionally, with TripAdvisor reviews on MyDrive, it’s incredibly simple for bikers to plan their perfect ride.
As with previous models in the popular TomTom RIDER range, bikers can plan and ride the most exciting winding roads and hilly climbs, as well as roundtrip routes, via the glove friendly 4.3” touchscreen. Bikers can even save the rides that they’ve taken directly on the device.
Mike Schoofs, Managing Director, TomTom Consumer, said: “We’re really excited to offer the TomTom RIDER 550 to the market. It includes features to make the lives of bikers easier such as Wi-Fi, voice assistant connectivity and read-aloud smartphone messages. Plus, we’re sure that bikers will love the inspiration that we’re bringing to their community with TomTom Road Trips.”
The TomTom RIDER 550, which comes with thousands of biker-specific Points of Interest, will be available in UK for £399.99.
If accessories such as a Car Mounting Kit, Anti-theft Solution and Protective Carry Case sound appealing, bikers can choose the TomTom RIDER 550 PP – which comes with all the features of the RIDER 550 plus a special pack of accessories. The TomTom RIDER 550 PP is available from specialist retailers for £499.99.

Designed with built-in convenience, the zūmo XT offers a number of safety features, including BluetoothTM hands-free calling5, rider alerts for potential hazards6, automatic incident notifications for family or loved ones in case an incident occurs, and the option to pair the zūmo XT with a compatible7 Garmin inReach Satellite Communicator for two-way texting, critical location sharing, and interactive SOS. Motorcyclists can stream their favourite music tracks on their smartphones through the zūmo XT or by utilizing the MP3 music files stored on the navigator. Built-in Wi-Fi® allows riders to easily update the maps and software on the zūmo XT without the hassle of using a computer. Riders can hardwire the device to constant power or rely on the zūmo XT’s extended battery life that can last up to 6 hours (3.5 hours with backlight settings at 100 percent brightness).
The zūmo XT is expected to be available in March with a suggested retail price of £429.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/zūmo.
The zūmo XT is the latest from the consumer automotive segment of Garmin, the leading worldwide provider of portable navigation devices for automobiles, motorcycles and trucks.

You can share touring adventures with friends and the ‘Great Rides’ edition comes with 100 of Europe’s most thrilling routes already pre-installed. Priced from £279.99 at local motorbike dealers.

The safest way to get from A to B on your scooter. Priced £149.99 from Halfords and Amazon. More info at www.tomtom.com

TomTom has created the world’s first scooter smartphone-connected satnav called TomTom VIO. The VIO is highly functional but makes a strong visual statement – once you’ve seen it on a scooter the bike looks naked without it. The circular glove-friendly touchscreen device acts as an extension to a connected smartphone, which uses the well-developed app as the brains. No more taking a phone out of the pocket while riding, finally.
The weatherproof display unit offers turn-by-turn navigation both visually and audibly via a Bluetooth® helmet audio system. When a call comes in, the display will show a photo of who it is so the rider can take it via the headset while directions remain on the TomTom VIO display.
TomTom’s famous speed camera warning system is built-in. But following the design of the TomTom VIO even these alerts are minimal and attractive. TomTom VIO’s speed display changes colour to red warning riders if they are going too fast, and then back to the original colour scheme when travelling within the limit. That means even without directly looking at the VIO the rider is acutely aware of their current speed.
Design detailing continues inside and out on the TomTom VIO thanks to snap-on silicon covers available in six different colours – ideal for matching up with the scooter. Then, to keep consistency, even the maps can be set to the same colour using one simple touch in the app.
Corinne Vigreux, co-founder and managing director, TomTom Consumer, said: “The innovative new TomTom VIO is game-changer for scooter riders. Not only will it speed up the commute, but gone are the days of fiddling with your mobile at the traffic lights, or wondering who’s calling as you negotiate the traffic. For the first time, riders can explore the urban jungle safely, and confidently, in style.”
The TomTom VIO is available from 8 September at Halfords and Amazon and on the TomTom website, priced £149.99. The device ships with a black, snap-on silicon cover – six other colours are available for purchase.
