The new devices are purpose-built for powersports and overland enthusiasts featuring glove-friendly touchscreens, new turn-by-turn trail navigation, built in inReach technology for emergency global satellite communication and to always stay connected with friends and family.

“We’re excited to offer overlanding and off-roading enthusiasts the best of both worlds with these new additions to our rugged Tread lineup,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Adventure seekers and off-roaders now have the freedom to explore and put their minds at ease thanks to built-in inReach communication so you can always be in touch no matter where your adventure takes you, plus the brand new trail routing and group ride features can help you stay connected with friends in more remote areas.”

Designed for side-by-side enthusiasts (but usable by moto travelers as well), the 8-inch Tread SxS Edition incorporates all the navigational features found across the Tread series and includes Group Ride Radio with the push-to-talk fist mic so off-roaders can stay in communication with other Tread-equipped friends in the wilderness. In addition, this new powersports device is uniquely rugged and forged to military grade drop test standards to withstand rough rides on more challenging terrain.
