SECOND GENERATION GMR HEAT SHIELDS
for the Garmin Tread Series
Good Mayhem Racing’s 2024 product launch of GMR Heat Shields was a success! Dozens of satisfied customers have trusted our first generation shields to protect their Garmin Tread Devices from overheating and impacts. We’ve had excellent feedback in the field with no reported failures.
Let’s make them better.
2nd Generation heat shields are rolling out in September. First Generation designs are going on close-out sale September 10th.

Garmin Tread® products and tablet devices like them overheat in direct sunlight. When they're mounted to a windshield, these navigators run a-ok when the AC is blowing. What happens when the device is on and the truck is turned off? No AC? Hot day in Baja? Through the windshield, the sunlight bakes these electronics like an oven. The white heat shields give the unit some shade, about a 8-15 F (4-8C) cooler when the windshield is in direct sunlight.

Second Generation Heat Shields are manufactured from the following materials:
Annealed polycarbonate [PC-A] (for cold weather, snowmobiles / winter powersports)
Fire Retardant Polycarbonate [PC-FR] (for desert racing)
Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) (for prerunners, SXS’s, quads, motorcycles, cars, chase trucks, overland rigs)
Glass-filled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS-GF) (for nerds).
All of these are high temperature, tough materials with operating temperatures over 100C (212 F).
-
All of Good Mayhem Racing’s heat shields are designed around the AMPS Bolt pattern. They can be mounted to Garmin’s magnetic bases or other AMPS compatible hardware.

Good Mayhem Racing is an engineer’s small business, and these are manufactured in a home’s workshop. These products are continuously improved, and most are made to order. GMR specializes in high mix, low volume manufacturing. Custom, bulk runs are available.
History of the GMR Heat shields
Why were GMR Heat Shields developed?
Good Mayhem Racing is a desert racing team that engineers and manufactures products for powersports. When our friends in Baja reported overheating issues with their Garmin Tread XL Baja Race and Chase Editions in the 2024 NORRA 1000, we answered the call by manufacturing the GMR Heat Shiels.
The devices needed some shade, and GMR delivered.
We proved out the heat shields in the Vegas To Reno desert race in 2024 and have used them at every race since then. From Baja to South Africa, our heat shields have traversed the world in offroad racing and adventures.
What Tread Devices are supported?
GMR Heat shields are tailor-made for Treads 1’s and Tread 2’s alike. Tread 1’s have inReach iridium antennas, and the Tread 2’s do not. GMR manufactures heat shields for both types. No matter which version you have, we can deliver.
Garmin Tread 1 8”, SXS and Overland editions
Garmin Tread 1 XL Baja Race, Chase, Overland editions
Garmin Tread 2 6” powersport
Garmin Tread 2 8” SXS and Overland Editions
