excellent supplement to see and improve performance

- Remco, 23 July, 2023

the Edge 830 fully meets my expectations. but I still need to find something that it shows the route but doesn't tell me I'm off-track all the time....

Pros & Cons

ease of use
lots of data via garmin connect
syncs well with strava, among others

Reliable navigation and provides excellent insight into your activities.

Bike navigation that basically has everything you need. Speed sensor is a must in my opinion. If desired, to utilize all the options, you also need a heart rate and power sensor.

Pros & Cons

Garmin ecosystem and possible pairings
Usability
Price is quite hefty

very comprehensive gps/bike computer that does what you would expect from garmin

- Frank, 1 September, 2022

above expectations I had my doubts about the screen size, but it is clear and bright Multiple screens to divide with what you want to see yourself with the mtb bundle a remote control for on the handlebar yet useful if you have multiple screens set to scroll through without letting go of your handlebars

Pros & Cons

compact but with lots of information and easy to read
customizable screens according to your needs
Easy to put in gpx files of routes
Pairing with garmin watch and phone easy
remote control with mtb bundle quite handy
real minuses not yet found

nice complete set

- Derk, 30 October, 2020

After my Edge 1000 which had given up the ghost after 6 years now I bought a size smaller. I am very satisfied with the solidity of the Garmin hardware. Also the software is really well developed. Mounting is very easy. I ended up cutting half an inch off my handle to have the remote in a nice spot. I already can't live without it. Everything works well immediately. The only thing missing from the set is an option to use the remote on the road bike, but Mantel can't do anything about that ;-)

Pros & Cons

nice complete set
Solid
not possible to mount ab on road bike

Fun, useful toys for cycling

- René, 11 September, 2020

It's my first navigation, so I have no comparison material and I've only just got it. The reason for buying it is that it comes with a mtb bundle. I have not yet benefited from this. Unfortunately I am not a techie so I have to search a lot on mobile (connect app) and Edge for settings and possibilities. With the help of a colleague I managed to transfer GPX routes from mobile to Edge 830. I'm glad because now I can create, load and ride routes myself. Also nice is that my average speed on the MTB has increased by 1.5 to 2 km per hour because of the speedometer on the hub instead of registering via Strava app. Very handy is the remote control on the handlebar for scrolling through the various screens on the Edge while cycling. A disadvantage of the Edge 830 is that the screen is a bit on the small side and the route is not always clearly distinguishable from the background. I also bought a cadence and heart rate belt to analyze myself ...:) It's a bit of a financial drain, but cycling new, own routes without interruption of finding the way (or quickly finding the route again) and such make it worthwhile so far.

Pros & Cons

accurate speed measurement
also indicates how much to drink
no more wrong driving and be able to drive on
remote control is very handy
Bit small screen
Edge menu and associated app a bit illogical
price
route a little unclear compared to background
