Garmin announces the zūmo R1 Radar - radar system for motorcycles

Garmin^® International announced the trailblazing zumo^™R1 Radar, its first purpose-built radar system for motorcycles. Sleek and discreet, the robust system provides riders with high-performance rearview and blind spot monitoring. The device features two side-facing amber lights and an optional rear-facing red light that can help maximize visibility to nearby vehicles, while indicator lights on the handlebars provide riders with awareness of approaching vehicles.

Featuring multiple pairing options, zumo R1 Radar can be connected to the zūmo^™ Radar mobile app or a zūmo^® XT2 motorcycle navigator (sold separately) for an enhanced experience.

Main functions:

• Radar display: See a full-screen radar display of in-range vehicles.
• Audio alerts: Hear notifications when other vehicles are approaching, when paired with a rider’s compatible helmet or headset via the zūmo^™ Radar smartphone app.
• Toggle settings: Adjust light and alert settings through the zūmo Radar app. Riders can decide how near or far away they want their indicator lights to notify them of approaching vehicles in their blind spot.

Designed for motorcycles

The zumo R1 Radar provides a novel way for motorcycle enthusiasts to be seen by others on the road. The compact radar solution discreetly mounts above or below the license plate, so riders can preserve the aesthetic of their motorcycle.

Featuring black powder-coated hardware with an IP67 dust and water rating, the zumo R1 Radar is constructed to withstand harsh environments. Riders can also expect a clean installation on any motorcycle¹ – no batteries or charging required.
