The new Garmin Edge 530 allows you to take your training to the next level. It does not only collects your data, it provides dynamic performance that can help you beat your best. It gives you insights on your VO2 max, recovery, training load focus, heat and altitude acclimation, nutrition, hydration and more when paired with compatible sensors. It tekks you if you most recent training was balanced in terms of endurance, threshold and high-intensity efforts. When paired with compatible sensors, Edge 530 now displays your power curve, comparing your ride effort to your previous weeks and months.
It also allows you to ride with confidence since it allows group messaging and tracking when used with compatible applications. The incident detection sends your location to your emergency contacts, and the new PIN-protected bike alarm will notify you on your smartphone if your bike is moved while you’re inside getting water or making a pit stop. You can also pair it with Garmin Varia rearview radar and lights for more safety.
Plus, the turn by turn navigation notify you of upcoming turns and the popularity routing chooses from the roads and trails most traveled by fellow cyclists to help you ride like a local. If you want to wander off the road, it can guide you back to your route, or back to the start, thanks to the route calculation that is now 2 times faster, so you do not have to wait around.
You can now also climb like a pro with Garmin Edge 530 new feature that automatically shows the remaining ascent and grade you,re climbing while following a route. That helps you gauge your effort over the remainder of your ride.
The Garmin Cycle Map on Edge 530 comes with integrated TrailForks trail data. Trailforks features trails from more than 80 countries, including topographic information, points of interest, heatmaps, trail conditions and much more. It will even guide you to appropriately graded trails based on your technical ability. And when you stop mid-ride, the new Forksight mode automatically displays upcoming forks in the trail, and gives you context by showing where you are within a trail network. Wherever you ride, you’ll have access to the best, most up-to-date information so you can have a smooth ride — no matter how challenging the trail.
Plus, with Edge 530 on your stem, you’ll capture every bragworthy stat. It tracks the epic details with new MTB dynamics such as jump count, jump distance and hang time. So, when you huck an incredible 20-footer, you’ll have the recorded data to prove it. Edge 530 also has ratings for Grit and Flow. Grit rates the difficulty of a ride using GPS, elevation and accelerometer data. Flow measures how smoothly you descend a trail. These metrics are visible in the activity summary at the end of every ride and are color coded on the map of your tracklog on our Garmin Connect online community, so you know your score to beat next time.
Still not convinced? Garmin is the only one that lets you customize your device with free apps, widgets and data fields. For example, AccuWeather MinuteCast lets you know when the rain will stop so you can determine the ideal time slot for your ride and Yelp helps you locate a nearby café, bike shop, etc. Other apps such as Strava, Komoot or Wikiloc lets you import your favorite routes directly to your Edge.
