Garmin zūmo XT
Adventure Motorcycle (ADVMoto)|November - December 2020
Garmin has long been the big fish in the pool of GPS, and their zumo line of products has graced motorcycle handlebars for years.

Garmin zūmo XT

Garmin’s motorcycle line has mostly concentrated on street, but their latest navi, the zumo XT, has a few new features that make it more useful for adventure/DS riders off the tarmac.

In the box with the zumo XT are the instructions, a rubberized ball-mount system (compatible with RAM), electrical cable, and mini-USB cable. This type of USB cable was surprising, given that the movement is solidly toward USB-C, but I would not need the USB cable too often as an included mount enables the navi to be hardwired into the bike’s electrical system. Life on the handlebars isn’t too much for the zumo XT to handle either, given the IPX7 water resistance and a military-spec drop rating.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
