“Big or small, the Edge 130 Plus and Edge 1030 Plus cycling
computers are full of features for every type of rider – from the
entry-level cyclist, to the adventurers and competitors,” said Dan
Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “Boasting a
combination of performance, navigation, awareness and connectivity
features, these new GPS cycling computers make it easy for all
riders to take their adventure to the next level.”
Designed for year-round riding, the Edge 130 Plus and Edge 1030
Plus allow cyclists to sync indoor and outdoor workouts
automatically from Garmin Connect™ or other training apps,
including TrainingPeaks® and TrainerRoad, right to their device.
During a ride, the Edge 130 Plus and Edge 1030 Plus use vital data
to provide dynamic performance insights, including VO2 max and
heart rate1, while the ClimbPro feature lets riders see the
remaining ascent and grade for each of their climbs when following
a route or course. Whether commuting to work or out riding with
friends, built-in safety and tracking features include incident
detection, assistance and LiveTrack to let loved ones follow a
cyclists’ real-time location and view their entire preplanned
course to see where they’re headed.2
With features specific to each model, the new Edge 130 Plus and
Edge 1030 Plus deliver easy-to-follow navigation as well as key
metrics and insight to every rider. Each cycling computer is built
with purpose in both form and function to help cyclists make every
ride count.
Edge 130 Plus
Stay on track with the Edge 130 Plus. GPS, GLONASS and Galileo
satellites, plus a built-in altimeter provide greater coverage and
more accurate ride data so cyclists know how far, fast and high
they ride. Before heading out, riders can plan and download their
routes using the Course Creator in Garmin Connect, which uses
Trendline™ popularity routing to provide riders with the best road,
mountain or gravel routes that are aggregated from those most
traveled by fellow cyclists. While riding, easy-to-read course
prompts and a breadcrumb map let cyclists see where they’ve been
and where they’re going. At the end of a ride, it will even direct
users back to their starting location.
To help cyclists boost their performance, the Edge 130 Plus
provides insights such as VO2 max, heart rate, heart rate zones and
calories burned.1 For riders searching for their next adventure,
the Edge 130 Plus will keep track of detailed mountain biking
metrics, including jump count, jump distance and hang time so they
can relive every heart-racing run.
Smart connectivity features mean cyclists won’t have to reach
for their phone when using the Edge 130 Plus. Text messages will
appear on the device screen so cyclists can view them at a glance
and keep on riding. A weather page will display current and
forecasted conditions, as well as weather alerts to help keep users
from getting stuck in a downpour. When paired with a compatible
smartphone, the Edge 130 Plus automatically uploads rides to the
Garmin Connect online fitness community and is customizable by
downloading configurable data fields from the Connect IQ™ store.
The Edge 130 Plus features up to 12 hours of battery life while
using GPS and up to 10 hours when using two sensors.
Edge 1030 Plus
Get ready for any ride, from remote gravel trails to epic
climbs, with the Edge 1030 Plus. Preloaded Garmin Cycle Maps have
wider coverage than ever before across the United States and Europe
and include turn-by-turn navigation and alerts that notify riders
of sharp curves ahead. Cyclists can create new rides and courses
right on their device or use Trendline popularity routing to find
routes based on billions of miles of ride data that other users
have uploaded. For riders using platforms like Strava and Komoot,
they can create courses and seamlessly sync them to their device.
While out for a ride, cyclists can now pause route guidance and off
course notifications if they choose to explore off the beaten path.
When they’re ready to get back on track, the Edge 1030 Plus will
guide cyclists back to the route or back to where they originally
started their ride. Using the preloaded Trailforks app, riders can
view trail details from more than 80 countries right on the device.
When stopped mid-ride, Forksight mode automatically displays
upcoming forks in the trail and shows riders where they are within
a trail network.
Cyclists using the Edge 1030 Plus can easily track their VO2
max, recovery time, training load, training focus and more to see
how their body is responding to their efforts.1 They will even get
daily workout suggestions based on their current training load and
VO2 max. The Edge 1030 Plus lets riders see how their body is
holding up in different environments with heat and altitude
acclimation2 and receive in-ride notifications when it’s time to
refuel or rehydrate. In addition to jump count, jump distance and
hang time, other mountain bike features include Grit, which rates
the difficulty of a ride using GPS, elevation and accelerometer
data, and Flow, which measures how smoothly a cyclist descends a
trail.
Cyclists can ride in just moments, instead of wasting time
configuring settings after powering the Edge 1030 Plus on for the
first time. Riders will now get prepopulated custom ride profiles
based on their previous Edge settings, while new users will
automatically receive the most popular set-ups from other users
based on their sensors and ride types. What’s more, the Edge 1030
Plus easily pairs with a Tacx® indoor trainer so cyclists can ride
whenever they want.3 Safety and smart features let cyclists stay
connected while out for a ride.2 In addition to receiving smart
notifications and automatically uploading rides to Garmin Connect,
the Edge 1030 Plus can be paired with an inReach® device so users
can view and reply to messages, share trip data and trigger
interactive SOS alerts with an inReach subscription.4 Additional
safety features include group messaging and tracking to let
cyclists stay in touch when they get separated from the pack.2 The
Edge 1030 Plus features up to 24 hours of battery life while using
GPS, multiple paired sensors and connected features, including
LiveTrack. Cyclists will see double the battery life when using the
optional Garmin Charge™ power pack.
For added confidence while riding, the Edge 130 Plus and Edge
1030 Plus are compatible with the Varia™ line of cycling awareness
devices, including the new RVR315 and RTL515 so
riders can see and be seen. Using the new Time Trial/Tri Bar
Mount makes it easy for time trialists and triathletes to
attach their Edge cycling computer and quarter-turn accessories to
TT bars. Available now, the Edge 130 Plus ranges in price from
$199.99 to $249.99, while the Edge 1030 Plus ranges in price from
$599.99 to $699.99.
