Garmin Edge 20

Some GPS bike computers, including Garmin’s new flagship Edge 1030, offer a plethora of data at your fingertips, and smart features ranging from live Strava segments to safety alerts. But if all you really want from your GPS bike computer is a reliable means of tracking speed, distance and time – with some basic navigation thrown in too – the tiny Edge 20 is the better option.

First launched in 2015, the little unit carries an RRP of £109.99 but you can get just shy of a quarter off that price with Hargroves Cycles, who are offering it for £83.99. Both Wiggle and Evans Cycles, meanwhile, are just 50p more expensive, with the Garmin Edge 20 listed at £84.49 with both.

Garmin Edge 520

We liked the Garmin Edge 520 so much upon its launch in 2015 that we awarded it a place in the RCUK 100 the following year. Sitting in the middle of the range, the Edge 520 superseded the popular Edge 510, and offers enough numbers at your fingertips to keep most data-hungry cyclists happy. However, like the Edge 820 (scroll down for that) it doesn’t come with full mapping or navigation. Still, that makes the Edge 520 suitable for performance-minded cyclists who know where they’re going…

The Edge 520 was the first Garmin unit to feature Strava Live segments, meanwhile, with notifications of segments and feedback on your performances among many other metrics offered.

The RRP was £279.99, but with a new Edge 820 now above it, and the Edge 1030 creating a buzz after its launch, you can get the Edge 520 it for a penny under £200 through Wiggle. That price rises to £249.99 with a cadence sensor and heart rate monitor thrown in.

Garmin Edge 820

Garmin launched the Edge 820 last year, blowing its predecessors out of the water as a mid-range, data-heavy GPS bike computer – with the addition of mapping and navigation.

An RCUK 100 inductee this year, the Garmin Edge 820 combines most of the functionality of the 1000 with the size of the 520, with features as diverse as FTP testing and a recovery advisor, while you can also add more apps through Garmin’s new Connect IQ system.

At its launch, the Garmin Edge 820 hit the shelves for £369.99, but Rutland cycles are currently offering a weighty 25 per cent off, bringing the price down to £277.99.

As Garmin’s previous flagship computer, the Edge 100 originally came with a hefty RRP of £499.99, but the introduction of the Edge 1030 has seen prices slashed – Tweaks Cycles have it on sale for £346. Meanwhile, Rutland Cycling are offering the Edge 1000 for £344.99 for the head unit only.

Otherwise, you can 30 per cent off the ‘performance bundle’ with Tweeks (RRP £550), which adds a heart rate monitor, speed sensor and cadence sensor into the mix. Yours for £385.00.
