(August 12, 2025) — Riser powered by Cardo, the leading motorcycle navigation and community app, has announced a series of powerful updates aimed at delivering a smarter navigation experience, more value with Exclusive Partner Deals, and a safer, more inclusive community. These updates are now live!
All-New Navigation Interface: Built for Riders
Riser, powered by Cardo, has completely redesigned its navigation interface from the ground up, tailored specifically to the needs of motorcycle riders. Key improvements include:
- A larger, clearer map view
- Easy-to-read navigation instructions
- A progress bar for upcoming actions
- Customizable data panels (ETA, distance, battery, etc.)
- Speed display and speed limit indicators
- Quick access to key riding actions like “Skip Waypoint”
This new interface not only enhances the current experience but also lays the groundwork for future innovations in motorcycle navigation.
Bonus Club: More Inside Riser Than Ever Before
Riser, powered by Cardo, just got even better with the introduction of the Bonus Club—a brand-new section packed with exclusive deals and perks from some of the most trusted names in motorcycle gear and tech. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your comms, accessorize your ride, or score a great deal on essentials, the Bonus Club brings added value directly into the app.
Current partners include the following:
- Cardo
- Spidi
- SP Connect
- Quadlock
The Bonus Club is available to all users under the Tools menu—but only Riser Pro members can unlock the full benefits, including access to discount codes and partner links. It’s one more reason to go PRO and get more out of every ride.
And this is just the beginning—more exclusive offers and partnerships are already in the pipeline.
GeoCoder Update: Smarter Search, Sharper Results
Finding places in Riser, powered by Cardo, just got a whole lot easier. With our latest GeoCoder update, address searches across the app are now significantly more accurate and responsive. Whether you’re planning a route, meeting up with a group, or just looking for a nearby restaurant, Riser now delivers better results—even when you only enter partial details like a postal code or business name.
This upgrade makes route planning faster, smoother, and more intuitive—so you can focus on the ride, not the search.
Adapted Maps: Your Language, Wherever You Ride
Exploring the world on two wheels just got even more seamless. With Adapted Maps, Riser, powered by Cardo, now automatically displays place names in the language of your phone settings—making navigation feel familiar, no matter where you are.
For example, if your phone is set to Spanish and you’re riding through Germany, you’ll see German place names displayed in Spanish—helping you stay oriented and confident on the road.
If localized translations aren’t available, Riser defaults to English for clarity.
Wherever your ride takes you, Riser speaks your language—so you can focus on the journey, not the translation.
Fresh Look & Smarter Planning: The New Riser Web Route Planner
Riser, powered by Cardo, has redesigned its online Route Planner from the ground up – with a clear focus on usability and planning efficiency. The new interface features a cleaner look, smarter layout, and more intuitive controls, making it easier than ever to plan your perfect ride. Enhanced trip insights and a streamlined editing experience support a smoother planning flow, while small additions like estimated travel times between waypoints help riders stay in control and keep their ride on track – from the first turn to the final stop.
New Feature: GPX Import Now Available in Riser Web
With the latest update, Riser, powered by Cardo, now also offers GPX file import – a long-awaited feature that gives users even more flexibility in planning their adventures. Available exclusively through the Riser Web Portal, this new functionality allows riders to upload, view, fine-tune, and save their routes with maximum precision. Whether you’re preparing for a weekend ride or a cross-country tour, the intuitive Riser Route Planner ensures that every detail of your journey is exactly the way you want it.
