Garmin Edge 520 bike computer GPS


SO GOOD
This feature-laden GPS unit uses GLONASS satellites to improve signal reliability. You can upload your ride to Garmin Connect, which is easily linked to your Strava account.

Add Strava live segments and the Edge 520 will display them as you ride them. The many options and features are easy to navigate, and up to 10 data fields can be displayed simultaneously. The 31.8mm bar mount is sturdy enough for proper MTBing too.

NO GOOD
It’s pricey. The base map is fairly spartan too, though free third-party alternatives are available.

Price 360$
