If you fancied biking across Europe but feared getting lost, TomTom has launched two new products especially for bikers.

With less worry of low-hanging bridges and narrow roads, bikers can enjoy the comfort of a new TomTom range with the four-icon touchscreen that can be used while wearing gloves.

The new products are also waterproof and the Bluetooth headsets for open and closed helmets with apparent noise cancellation ability, give in-helmet spoken instructions.

The TomTom Rider is in two models for UK and Ireland, and Europe featuring complete door-to-door navigation.

TomTom Rider also comes with a new RAM mount that fits on virtually all motorbikes and is easy to mount. To ensure safety, the new TomTom Rider features a secure dock on which the RAM mount fits easily.

“TomTom Rider is the first ever navigation solution specifically designed for motorbikers and the world’s best-selling. This new TomTom Rider gives bike riders more of what they love when navigating on their bikes - high quality, easy to use and safe navigation, in addition to impeccable vocal instruction, smart services and extras to ensure they have a great bike experience”, said Harold Goddijn, TomTom’s chief executive officer.
