I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
No matter if you ride to explore new trails or to save the planet on your daily commute, we want to help you find your way and boost your performance.
If you watched our video on the Edge 130, you know that it’s the perfect tool for those who like a challenge and like to explore.
Well, we just took that perfect tool to a whole new level by adding some new features that compliment any recreational rider.
Let me introduce you to the Garmin Edge 130 Plus.
The Edge 130 Plus has the same compact, rugged design as the Edge 130 - with a crisp, easy to read display
and the full Edge 130 functionality that you’ve come to know and love.
And even though the 130 was packed full of features in a small package, we believe you do more than just go out for a leisurely ride.
So, the 130 Plus adds more features to help you reach your performance goals, and still boasts up to a 12-hour battery life.
So, let’s talk about some of the new features.
We want to help you ride like a local – both on and off road.
So, we’ve included easy to use breadcrumb navigation in the 130 Plus.
You can seamlessly sync courses to the 130 Plus from Garmin Connect or other platforms such as Strava, Komoot, and more.
Then you can stay on track with turn prompts plus an easy to follow breadcrumb trail.
And when you’ve reached your destination and you’re ready to head back, the 130 Plus can even direct you back to start.
For beginner cyclists, you may not know how to start a training plan to train for your upcoming race or charity ride.
With that in mind, we designed the 130 Plus to be easy, so there’s no more excuses to start boosting your performance.
You’ll be able to get your indoor and outdoor training plans from the Intelligent Training plan builder in the Garmin Connect app
or sync to your Edge from other apps including TrainingPeaks and TrainerRoad.
Then, you can view your upcoming training and launch into the workout seamlessly.
And when you're out when you ride, climbing hills is just part of the ride, and some hills are tougher than others.
We all know that feeling when we’re just trying to push through and ask ourselves – Are we there yet?
So, while following a route or course, the ClimbPro feature on the 130 Plus allows you to automatically see the remaining ascent and grade when you’re climbing.
This helps you gauge your effort and see how much you have left to suffer on your climb.
And for those of you who like to shred the trails, just because you suffer on those climbs doesn’t mean you’re not having fun on your ride.
Afterall, we all know what goes up must come down!
The longer the climb, the longer the decent. And with a good, long descent comes jumps!
So what if I told you, you could now track your jump count, jump distance, and even your hang time?
Well you can with our new mountain bike metrics.
Not only will you be able to track your improvement over time, but you’ll have the proof to back it up when you’re bragging to your buddies.
No matter your skill level, there’s no better feeling than going home to your loved ones at the end of the day.
And we want you and your fans back home to have peace of mind while you’re out on your ride.
So we’ve designed the 130 Plus with increased cycling awareness features.
Not only can you pair it with our Varia rearview radar and lights but when paired with a compatible smartphone,
Incident Detection automatically sends your location to your preloaded emergency contacts if the Edge detects an incident.
Or, you can manually share your location if you get into mechanical difficulty.
Whether you ride a little or ride a lot, we want to help take your cycling experience to the next level
and graduate you from your smartphone app to a dedicated light-weight bike computer.
And with this rugged, compact GPS bike computer, we hope you never stop cycling.
Make every ride count – with the Edge 130 Plus.
