The Compact Garmin Edge 130 Plus

The lightweight Garmin Edge 130 Plus GPS bike computer may be the smallest in the lineup, but it's still packed with ride-enhancing features.

Keep it simple with easy navigation and a crisp clear display. It may not have a large color touchscreen, but it is attractively priced and only weighs 1.2 ounces.

We think you'll be impressed with the performance monitoring, MTB Dynamics, ClimbPro feature, and more in this most affordable and compact bike computer.

See the full Edge 130 Plus product specs here.

Garmin Edge 830 Bike GPS Computer

The Garmin Edge 830 GPS cycling computer gives you smooth, convenient usability during your ride with a 2.6" color touchscreen.

It provides many of the dynamic performance monitoring features, insights for improvement, and mapping that the Edge 1040 GPS bike computer offers, including Dynamic Performance Monitoring, Training Status, Cycling Dynamics, MTB Dynamics, Preloaded cycle maps, Multi-GNSS, and more!

(Although the 2022 1040 is the only Garmin bike computer to offer the its new features, listed in its section above.)

Plus, count on Garmin safety features and up to 20 hours of battery life.

What's the difference between Garmin Edge 530 vs 830?

The Edge 530 GPS bike computer is basically the Edge 830 without the touchscreen—for $100 less.

This means that—like with the Edge 830—you still get a good portion of the amazing performance, mapping, and safety features as the Edge 1040, but without the larger screen, daily suggested workouts, touchscreen capability, and you have up to 20 hours of battery life compared to the Edge 1040's 35 or 1040 Solar's 45.

Other than the missing touchscreen, the Edge 830 and the 530 are the same cycling GPS computers.

Garmin Edge 530 Bike Computer

Not feeling the budget of the Edge 1040 or the 830? The Edge 530 cycling GPS might be just right for your riding—and spending—style.

For $300 less than the 1040 and $100 less than the 830, you can get nearly all of the same great peformance monitoring features and navigation, including preloaded cycle maps and Cycling and MTB Dynamics.

The Edge 530 is the same size as the 830 and gets up to 20 hours of battery life as well.

What will you give up? It does not have the larger display of the 1040 or the touchscreen convenience of the two top-tier Edge bike computers.

Plus, the 2022 1040 is the only Garmin bike computer to offer the its new features, listed in its section above.

The obvious differences between the Edge 830 vs the Edge 1040 Series are screen size, battery life, and, of course, price. But this refreshed, modernized bike computer also features:

  • Real-Time Stamina feature
  • Multi-band GNSS tracking for superior postitional accuracy
  • Solar-charging option
  • USB-C port
  • Workout completion prompts

To put the whole lineup in perspective, the Edge 530 bike computer is roughly the same dimensions and weight as the Edge 830, while the Edge 130 Plus sports a 1.8" display and weighs only 1.2 oz.
