This older motorcycle sat nav is still on offer, even now Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is over

Motorcycle sat navs are a polarising topic, but if you’re nav-curious there’s still a good offer to be had, even now that Amazon Prime Big Deals Days is over.

Specifically, the Garmin Zumo XT – it was the firm’s flagship model for two wheels up until the Zumo XT2 came out this year and is still a mighty impressive unit. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of its replacement but if you’re trying a sat nav for the first time it’ll still impress.

"The Zumo’s serious capability is both its strength and its weakness. It can do so much, so you really need to study its functionality before you can even begin to scratch the surface of its possibilities.

"If you are a dedicated sat-nav fan and you enjoy the technology as much as you enjoy the riding, then this is definitely for you. If you like planning big trips that cover multiple days and different surfaces, then it is right up your green-lane."

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

Amazon’s main sales are split into three main events. The big one is still Black Friday (which is the Friday after Thanks Giving in America) but there are also two others, one in spring and the other in autumn. Originally called Prime Day and lasting just 24 hours, the sales have now become known as Big Deal Days and last 48 hours each.

Do prices drop on Prime day?

Because the MCN team of bargain hunters are on the look out for deals all year, we’re in a great position to spot the ones that are worth the hype… and the ones that aren’t. Our Amazon Prime Big Deal Days page is the place to come for genuine savings on kit worth buying.
