GarminEdge 840 Solar GPS Cycling Computer With Handlebar Mount

Packed with advanced features, Garmin ups the game again with the latest Edge seriesGPS cycling computer, the Edge 840 Solar, capable of enhancing any andevery ride ortraining session. It’s the perfect tool for all riders, no matter their level or goals. The combination of a touchscreen and buttons allows good control of the unit in all conditions. Don’t let the battery limit your fun; the standardlife of up to 26 hours when usingdemanding features, and 32 hours in battery saver mode, is extended by Power Glass solar charging. In direct sunlight the battery will last 42 hours (demanding modes) or 60 hours (battery saver mode).

Connect the Edge 840 Solar to a compatible power meter and heart rate monitor and benefit from the advanced coaching features such as suggested workouts and training, based on current training load, recovery, or upcoming events. In addition to this, the power guide feature recommends targets based on the course to help manage efforts, reducing the chances of a mid-ride bonk, while stamina insights work similarly, providing guidelines on how long an effort may be held.

Out on the road or trails, multi-band GNSS technology provides precise location information and navigation. You can follow pre-planned routes, set up a course from the device itself, or allow it to navigate you home. Turn-by-turn navigation and audio prompts keep things simple so the focus stays on enjoying the ride or following a training plan, and ride-type-specific maps show you where’s popular with locals, on and off road. ClimbPro ascent planner is a feature now available even when a route isn’t loaded, indicating, or warning, of upcoming climbs and making it easier to gauge efforts mid climb.

Setup of the unit is simple and use is intuitive, with courses, tools and data easy to access, either from the 840 itself or from a paired smartphone. You can also pair to favourite apps, such as Strava, Komoot and TrainingPeaks®, through the Garmin Connect™ app on a smartphone, nicely integratingfunctionality between systems and devices.
