I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
For many of you, cycling is more than just a hobby.
You eat, sleep, and breathe for the thrill of riding the open roads or shredding the trails.
It’s your passion, dedication, and your way of life.
From road warriors and trail junkies, to those who just want to ride in the pain cave on your favorite Tacx trainer,
I want to tell you about a couple of products that can help you improve your performance,
the Garmin Edge 530 and 830 cycling computers.
Let’s face it.
When you ride, some of you are motivated by personal improvement and competition.
Others are motivated by the thrill, adventure and the exploration. You push yourselves to go farther and faster.
You’re looking for that epic ride, whether it be indoors or out.
Well, so are we.
That’s why the Edge 530 and 830 were purpose-built for riders, by riders.
These Edge devices are slim, compact, and durable.
Similar to the Edge 520 and 820 that you’ve come to know and love, the 530 and 830 have a 13% larger display,
making it easier for you to see the map and data at a quick glance.
While the 530 is a button operated device, the 830 has a touchscreen that even works with gloves.
And just because they’re small doesn’t mean they’re not up for the big paces that you’re going to put them through.
These powerhouse units are made to take your training to the next level.
With heat and altitude acclimation,
you can see how your body’s holding up in the various environments you’re riding in.
You can also get in-ride notifications when it’s time to hydrate or eat.
Then post-ride you’ll be able to input how many calories and how much fluid you took in during a ride,
allowing you to learn and modify your nutrition strategies for future rides.
And with the new ClimbPro feature, climbing can be your new secret weapon.
While following a route or course, you’ll be able to see how much you have left to suffer,
helping you gauge your effort over the remainder of your ride.
For all of you trail riders out there, we’ve also added mountain bike dynamics to the 530 and 830,
which gives you jump metrics, grit, and flow.
Jump metrics includes your number of jumps, as well as your distance, height, and hang time.
So, after you hit that booter, you’ll know how far and how high you went.
Grit, or harshness, is a measurement of the course difficulty.
It lets you know if a trail is suited to your riding level. The higher the number, the gnarlier the trail.
And flow helps you improve by measuring the fluidity of your ride, avoiding unnecessary braking.
The lower the number, the better your flow. So, get out there and rail those berms!
Want a cycling computer that will navigate every turn? No problem!
The Edge 530 and 830 come preloaded with routable Garmin cycling maps,
giving you turn by turn directions.
We’ve also doubled the processor speed,
helping your Edge to keep up with you any time you decide to go off course for that quick detour.
You can even create your course for the day, right on the 830, with the onboard RoundTrip Course creator.
And to help you ride like a local,
Garmin’s popularity routing chooses from the roads and trails most traveled by fellow cyclists.
No other bike computer has this amount of mileage and data at your disposal.
When you need a change of scenery or want to take a break from the pavement to tame the trails,
the included Trailforks map makes these units your go-to guide for mountain biking.
Trailforks includes the best, most up-to-date worldwide trail data, including trail conditions, heatmaps, and so much more.
You’ll be able to view information about the trail right on the Edge without having to stop and get your phone out.
And, it can guide you based on your technical ability, or trail popularity.
You’ll even be able to import trails and rides that you planned on Trailforks, directly to the Edge.
You’ll be stoked to use one of these units on the trails.
But wait, there’s more.
You want to ride with confidence, and we take safety seriously.
With the Edge 530 and 830, you’ll get all of the unrivalled cycling awareness features that you’ve come to know and love
such as group messaging and tracking, incident detection,
and compatibility with our Varia rearview radar and lights, allowing you to see and be seen.
We’ve even added a new bike alarm.
For the pitstop midride, the bike alarm will alert you if your bike or Edge is being moved
and give you peace of mind while you’re away from it.
With the power of Connect IQ, we have dedicated apps for dedicated devices, created by dedicated cyclists.
From AccuWeather MinuteCast that will let you know when the rain will stop,
to planning your rides on sites such as Wikiloc or RideWithGPS,
you’ll have the ability to customise and add features and functionality to the 530 and 830.
And with training partners such as Strava,
you can download routes and segments that turn every ride into a race against your own personal record, or even real or virtual competitors.
So, get creative and make it your Edge.
These new Edge units are sick!
Not only are they feature rich, allowing you to improve your performance and get the most out of your ride,
but they have the juice to back it up.
The Edge 530 and 830 have a battery life up to 20 hours with GPS.
And if that’s not exciting enough for you, you can either add the optional Garmin Charge power pack
or put it in battery saver mode, giving you up to 40 hours of battery life.
Hey, who cares about a cycling computer that offers dynamic performance monitoring and insights to help you improve?
You do! And because you do, so do we.
So, whether you’re a podium finisher, gravel grinder, or someone in between,
these units are ready to roll as your new riding partners.
Take your training to the next level and ride with confidence, with the Edge 530 and 830 cycling computers.
