Customers are generally impressed with the Garmin Zumo XT2, highlighting its large, bright screen and intuitive controls as standout features. The ability to plan routes via the Tread app is praised, though some customers experienced initial issues with the app. Pairing with headsets and ease of updates are appreciated. Some customers faced faulty units but lauded the responsive support from Sportbikeshop. Overall, it's seen as a quality product worth the premium price, although some find it expensive.
The Garmin XT 2 is a step change from the 595 it has great clarity.
The new menu will take some getting used to, time will tell.
The case does not appear to be as robust as the previous model.
I'm already invested in the Garmin Eco System so this purchase was a no brainer. Product delivered on time, easy set up, very clear in use on the bike and intuitive to use. Very pleased with my purchase
Unfortunately the Garmin Zumo XT2 that I purchased was faulty, however this is NOT a bad review for Sportsbikeshop as they were very helpful with the return of the Unit and would receive an excellent comment, my average rating is for the Zumo Unit XT2 only, Sportsbikeshop sent me another unit, this one works perfectly and love using it, hence my comment above "all is well that ends well" great piece of kit when operational and brill service off the Sportsbikeshop team
I love it. I have had a tomtom for a long time but thinking of a change for a while no. Glad i did it's got everything on it the screen is mush bigger than the tomtom it's self and more update looks and software and maps but I have noticed if you don't put a route in it will not tell the speed cameras. It's show pictures for exits on a route I put in if got it. only Niggling fing is could be simpler to charge route from fast or longer route. I would recommend it over than the tomtom if you do a lot of riding. If not the price might turn you off
Great piece of kit
Having my xt2 for 8 months it decided to give up the ghost I could not reset it, just a frozen screen. Took it back to sportsbikeshop, they tried the same reset but nothing different.
Satnav was sent away to Garmin who could not fix it.
Two weeks later an email from sportsbikeshop saying a replacement satnav was going to be sent out and the next day 10am I had my new sat nav.
Great service from sportsbikeshop as always.
Thanks guys.
Big improvement over my old Garmin unit, had issues with the Tread app but all sorted now , highly recommend the XT2
thanks to the staff at Sportbikeshop Bristol.
The first one I ordered wouldn't switch on, but I was sent a replacement within 5 days so for that I give Sportsbikeshop.co.uk 5*...
The Zumo XT2 is without question a great price of kit, it can be quite a pain to plan rides, but a quick look on YouTube and any woes soon fade away..
Build quality is great and the attachments it comes with are very well made also..
Navigation works great and the phone and headset integration so far is flawless..
Highly recommended
So easy for me to see on my trike, because handlebars further away than a two wheel vehicle. Also given that distance this device was easier to use. Loved the clearer display reading quickly, was a cinch!
What an improvement over the xr I had it's quick does a lot more and the slightly bigger screen makes all the difference. I am more than happy
Sat nav performance of XT2 much better than BMW unit, you do loose the wiz wheel interface but willing to put up with that. Very impressed so far.
I had issues with this Garmin Zumo XT2 right from the start, kept trying to make it work correctly but in the end I had to give up and request a return, Sportsbikeshop were first class in dealing with this, currently on its way back to them, will report when I receive a working one.
The display is excellent, bright and clear. The whole unit is slim and would easily fit into you motorcycle pocket when you step away from the bike. Although I've not had much use as yet due to the stormy weather, the menu is easily navigated for me as I had an old Zumo before. I do believe anyone new to Garmin wont have any issues. Sat Navs on a bike are a must:, especially abroad- Heads up on corners (if mounted in you line of sight), nearest fuel stops etc. Overall this is a great bit of kit and worth the premium price!
Decided to up grade my old Garmin; the XT2 is so much better. Routes were difficult to enter into the old Garmin, in the XT2 I can plan a route using the app which is seamlessly transferred to the XT2 over WIFI. Alternatively I can enter a route, simple or complex using the XT2 screen. The XT2 has a great screen, good battery life and it is easily updated (firmware and maps) for free over WIFI.
Excellent customer service once again from Sportsbikeshop who price matched a competitor's reduced price.
The XT2 is the latest feature packed Garmin unit which outperforms the competition. You can plan your routes in the Tread App and they automatically transfer onto the XT2. Slightly heavier than the previous XT so a good aftermarket mount is required. If you have wifi in the garage, no need to remove the unit from the bike to update. Looked at the TomTom but it hasn't had any major upgrades for numerous years.
Unfortunately the first XT2 I had developed a fault that made it unusable after four months. The replacement was faulty out of the box. This is the third one and so far is working. Dissappointing after over 20 years of walking, bicycle and motorcycle sat navs.
Sportsbikeshop have been excellent dealing with the faulty units.
In my experience The XT2 is a nice satnav but I don't know if the extra £ is worth it over the XT. The bigger screen is better and the Tread app is handy.
I haven't yet used the newest one on the bike so I can't comment on all the functions. The route guidance is good and accurate, although the screen refresh is sometimes slow.
Open the « thread » app and then search the map for locations then turn those locations into a route - amazing. But what is truly spectacular is for « thread » app to then transfer that route into the sat nav. Once the route appears in the sat nav open and start your ride. 5⭐️
XT2 big decision because of cost, Performance is out standing very clear screen in strong sunlight, all speed limits clear accurate.paired with Sena head set out the box easily with With fellow riders easy confirmation of their location worked with Tread app, live weather on route when tethered to phone, Can't wait to catch the ferry with confidence on the other side.
