The guys at TomTom accidentally leaked an ad for their new Rider 2, a GPS unit for motorcycles and scooters.
Apparently the animation - which was live for several hours this morning - was put up on the site a bit earlier than planned. While we have no info on the specs, it looks like the mount has been completely redesigned.
