Garmin has released its new Edge MTB, a rugged and compact GPS bike computer purposefully designed for mountain bikers.
Ready for long days on the trail, Edge MTB features full-color maps, new enduro and downhill ride profiles, and it is the first bike computer in its class with 5 Hz GPS recording so riders can see their trail lines in greater detail during descents. And with up to 14 hours of battery life in demanding use cases and up to 26 hours in battery saver mode, mountain bikers can do what they love, longer.
Built to shred
- Rugged design: Seven overmolded buttons resist mud and grit while the scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass lens stands up to the most extreme rides. The included top tube and MTB mounts provide mountain bikers with different mounting options for their style of riding.
- Enduro ride profile: Track total ascent and descent from each run and for the ride overall.
- Downhill ride profile: Automatically track a run each time a descent is completed to ensure the return to the top via shuttle or ski lift doesn’t affect ride stats.
- Multi-band GPS with 5 Hz GPS recording: View trail lines in greater detail while using the enduro or downhill ride profiles thanks to technology that is recording location data five times more frequently than other cycling computers. As the first bike computer in its class with this technology, mountain bikers can experience unparalleled precision when tracking their performance data.
- Timing gates: Set timing gates along a course to track split times during a race or ride and see in real-time if those times are ahead or behind targeted splits, then review post-ride performance data to get a better idea of how to improve.
- Built-in maps: Access worldwide MTB trail data from Trailforks; use Trendline Popularity Routing to find the best routes most traveled by other Garmin cyclists; use preloaded Garmin TopoActive maps to ride paved and unpaved pathways, streets and more; or access maps and activity profiles for other types of riding off the trails—like road, gravel and more.
- Forksight mode: View names of trails up ahead, elevation profiles, distance back to start, trail difficulty, primary direction of travel and more.
- MTB dynamics: Track mountain bike metrics like jump count, jump distance, hang time, Grit and Flow.
- Safety and tracking features: Ride with greater confidence with safety features like LiveTrack and incident detection, plus compatibility with the Varia line of cycling radars and smart lights, as well as inReach satellite communicators.
