Description
Mountain biking demands purpose-built equipment. The Edge MTB from Garmin addresses requirements that trail riders face: rugged construction that survives crashes, accurate tracking through tight descents, and trail-specific navigation that works in unfamiliar terrain. Seven overmolded buttons resist mud and grit while Corning Gorilla Glass protects the display from scratches that standard screens accumulate during aggressive riding. The compact form factor reduces crash damage exposure compared to larger cycling computers.
Recording position five times per second separates this computer from standard GPS units that sample once per second. When you switch the Edge MTB into enduro or downhill mode, the unit automatically activates 5 Hz GPS tracking to capture your exact line through switchbacks and technical sections. Multi-band GPS reception pulls signals from multiple satellite systems, improving position accuracy in dense tree cover and steep terrain where single-band units lose precision. You can review these detailed trace files after rides to analyze line choices. Enduro mode lets you manually toggle between climbing and descending phases to track each segment separately. Downhill mode automatically detects when you've finished a run and stops recording during uplift shuttles or chairlift rides, so return trips don't skew your descent statistics.
The timing gates feature turns any section of trail into a timed segment. Set virtual gates along a course and the Edge MTB automatically records split times as you pass through each checkpoint. If you're chasing personal records on familiar trails or racing enduro stages, real-time split comparisons show whether you're ahead or behind target times. Post-ride analysis breaks down performance at each gate through the Garmin Connect app, showing exactly where you gained or lost time across multiple attempts.... Read More
