People ride bikes for different reasons. Whether you’re a roadie, gravel grinder, mountain biker, triathlete or casual commuter – or even just someone who’s ready to dust off your old bike in the garage and get some fresh air – there’s a Garmin GPS bike computer for you.

With so many options, it can be tough to choose. Here’s the full range, from  basic to the most advanced.

For those who just want to enjoy the ride

Edge 130 Plus: Complete with turn prompts and a breadcrumb map to track where you’re going (and where you’ve been), Edge 130 Plus utilises three satellite systems — GPS, GLONASS and Galileo — to ensure you know exactly where you are in a variety of environments. At an entry-level price point, it’s the perfect bike computer to help you explore the unknown while maintaining peace of mind. It also tracks all key metrics like heart rate (via a chest strap or wrist monitor), distance, elevation and speed, and you can connect multiple power and cadence sensors.

For those who want more in-depth performance tracking

Edge 540 and Edge 840: If performance analysis — and improvement — is your thing, the Edge 540 and Edge 840 (and their solar models) are excellent options. With dynamic performance monitoring, targeted adaptive coaching, heat and altitude acclimation, advanced training features and more, both devices pack a serious punch. They also track specific mountain biking metrics like jump count, jump distance and hang time, and features specific to Garmin, like Grit, which rates the difficulty of a ride using GPS, elevation and other data; and Flow, which measures how smoothly you descend so you’ll have a score to improve on the next ride. Edge 540 and Edge 840 can also guide you back to the route – or to your starting point – if you decide to deviate for a little adventure.

The difference between the two? Edge 540 is a button-only device, while Edge 840 has buttons and a touchscreen.

For cyclists who want the longest battery life

Edge 1040 Solar: Using Power Glass solar charging, this premium bike computer is guaranteed to take you to the peak of performance. Plus, it gains battery life as you ride. When paired with compatible sensors like Garmin’s Rally Series power meters or HRM-Pro Plus heart rate monitor, the Edge 1040 Solar provides a host of features to take your riding and training to the next level.

With real-time stamina insights, you can see exactly how much energy you have left in the tank, and recommended targets in the power guide feature help you manage your efforts during a ride. Cycling ability and course-demand features help you classify your strengths as a cyclist (share them with your friends if you’re feeling extra competitive), allowing you to focus on improvement and prepare for the demands of a course you plan to tackle soon.

Oh, and did we mention loads of battery? Get up to 45 hours of battery life in demanding-use cases, and up to 100 hours using battery-save mode.

For cyclists looking for the brightest and smartest computer

Edge 1050: Every ride is better with Edge 1050 — the premium GPS computer that allows you to never stop cycling. Even with a vivid touchscreen display, the Edge 1050 has the battery life to outlast even the longest rides, delivering up to 20 hours in the most demanding use cases.

But the Edge 1050 offers more than just impressive battery life. It comes with smart features that bring the cycling community together. GroupRide features have been enhanced, including in-ride messaging, live locations, incident detection alerts, in-ride climb leaderboards, post-ride awards and more. From weekend group rides to solo efforts and everything in between, the 1050 is here for all of it.

The coolest feature? A digital bike bell so you can alert fellow riders and pedestrians in your path. You can even tap to buy your flat white at the coffee stop using Garmin Pay.

Community features now available on even more Edge devices.

Thanks to a recent software update, Edge 540, 840 and 1040 users can also enjoy community features like road hazards, GroupRide and more.

Ready to hit the road, trail or gravel track into the unknown? Garmin has you covered, no matter how or where you ride.
