Everything I wanted
on June 7, 2025
Posted by: Ramer
I have only had this for a dozen rides. I like the page that shows all of the stats while you ride. The riding I do is all rail trail, so the slope incline does not show accurately. Sometimes I think it is the tree cover and poor satellite pick up. I like the connection to my phone because it helps me decide if I need to answer or not. I like the side buttons because I can scroll through the different screens better than a touch screen.

I bought this to replace a Garmin 200 or something that I had years ago that got stolen with a bike. Couldn’t be happier, good price point and it does all sorts of cool stuff color routing and the battery last forever! Pumped!

Fantastic upgrade

had been using an Edge 520 for the last seven years.Could barely get 3 rides beforw the battery needed to be recharged but no real complaints. Bought the 540 two weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! Battery life is out of this world with four paired sensors. Love Climb Pro. Haven't figured out all the features yet but what an upgrade.

Not user friendly. Difficult to set up. Can't go to second page without restarting route, A lot of times, I have to reconnect my cadence sensor. I liked the 530 much better.

Replaced my 530 with 540 and happy!

The new 540 updated to my personal screens and laps distance. Nice screen and added features on home screen. Like the 530, the 540 loses connection to speed and cadence sensor for a few seconds about every third ride, but very short in duration. Fit my bracket of 530 exactly and button operation was the same and simple.

A great pc of equipment.

I've used this for a couple of rides now and am very impressed with it. I got the 540 because I've had trouble with touch screens in the rain, the buttons work just fine. I like that I can read the screen with my sunglasses on, with no problems. The screen shows10 metrics that I like to track while riding. I found the Climb meter helpful on long climbs. The map Is easy to follow and everything works as it should. It's seems to work perfect Without a flaw. A good device for somebody that wants a bike computer.
