Absolutely love my grandma edge mountain bike computer. I can’t believe I’ve written all these years without one. What a difference it’s nice to have all this information after I’m done riding.
Very happy with the edge MTB. Coming from the 1030 I struggle to read the text on screen. It would be really nice to have a text/font size adjustment, especially in brighter light. I also seem to be constantly, inadvertently pressing buttons when putting it on or taking it off the mount as they seem to be in the exact spots needed for proper leverage to lock/unlock on/from the mount, but I should get used to it in time.
So far, so good. Haven't really gotten into all the features yet. Still need to figure out what I want to access and track on this one. Kind of excited to see the air time feature.
I ride trails, road and whatever is fun. This is a great computer to use for everything. Works really well in off the grid spots on the trail and seems to work just as well for me on the road.
I live in the Midwest where there are no mountains. "Mountain biking" here is more of a series of ups and downs. However, I wanted the accuracy of the 5 Hz recording. I put the Garmin MTB in Enduro mode and set it to downhill and just leave it. I climb and go downhill, all being captured in 5 Hz accuracy. It would be nice if the Mountain Biking setting would just record in 5 Hz all the time, but I realize Garmin is trying to give you maximum battery life.
I have used the EDGE MTB a few times coming from an Edge 530 and find the screen a little small. I also find the trail forks to pop up when I am on trail with no forks and am forced to get out of the screen so I can see my stats. I am sure I can turn this feature off but want to use it when I am on an unknown trail.
I lost my Garmin 830 (set it on the bumper and drove off) so I needed a replacement. The edge MTB is perfect for my riding level and usage. The precision is so much better than my 830 was.
I chose this product over the new Edge 550 because I wanted a cycling computer with a durable screen I could trust to withstand daily use. I'm a road cyclist, and with that said, the Edge MTB is a great choice if you ride on the road or enjoy gravel and don't need all the metrics of the new 550. I'm happy with this product and hope to get several great years out of it.
