Garmin Edge 1040 Solar Cycle Computer

Description

With the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar Bike Navigation, you can explore the world as well as your own limits on your road, mountain or gravel bike. The large 3.5" colour touchscreen is easy to read in all circumstances and is highly responsive thanks to the renewed processor. With a max battery life of 45 hours and turn-by-turn navigation, you will never get lost again, no matter where you go! But if you want to make a detour and discover some new roads while riding a preplanned route - no problem, the Edge navigates you back to the original route whenever you want. Because of the integration with Strava, Komoot, Trailforks and more, a world of unknown routes and trails awaits you. Furthermore, the Edge 1040 Solar can create a route based on popular and frequently cycled routes, or a random route based on a specific distance entered by you.

In addition to navigating you from A to B flawlessly, the Edge 1040 Solar is the best training partner you could wish for. All the data you need during training or competition is displayed in real time on the customisable data panels. Training sessions and workouts can be synced to your Edge 1040 Solar from Garmin Connect or via TrainingsPeaks. The Edge also offers daily training suggestions based on your training load and personal VO2 max. The Garmin ClimbPro function helps you to distribute your energy perfectly during a climb, and MTB Dynamics gives you insight into your flow and jumps while riding the trails. Do you sometimes forget to eat and drink during your ride? The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar gives you notifications during your activity to ensure that you're well fed and hydrated at all times.

Navigation
The pre-installed cycling maps ensure that the navigation always works and that you will never take a wrong turn again. Turn-by-turn navigation provides clear directions on your route, and even gives you a warning if there's an unexpectedly sharp turn ahead. What a great safety feature! You can let the Garmin calculate a route itself, or easily upload existing .gpx routes via the Garmin Connect app.

Extra long battery life
No need to worry about battery life. With an increased battery life of 45 hours, you can go on a great many rides before having to recharge your Garmin Edge 1040 Solar. 45 hours is not enough for you? The optional Garmin Charge Power Pack can be used to charge the Edge 1040 Solar wirelessly when you're on the go.
