Edge MTB - Terrible
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: Pmcrackin
I bought this for the durability, but the functionality of the Edge MTB unit is terrible. I downloaded a file for a route I was suppose to take and it constantly put me off course. It kept getting an error and constantly told me to make a U Turn even though I was clearly on the route. Would not recommend.

Not For Me
on September 3, 2025
Posted by: FNScott
Good concept but fell short for me. It is extremely small. Very hard to see especially if you have diabetic retinopathy and had eye surgeries. The buttons were extremely small and very difficult to use when riding. Navigation was useless and any warning was so small and lasted about a second so I could not read it. I could not get it to work with my Dexcom G7 even though I downloaded the CGM app and contacted the developer. Bought an SWMotech phone case and mount and another mount for my BMW GS motorcycle. I do use the Garmin speed and cadence ll sensors on my bicycle and use Samsung Health and either Trek Ride Club or Super Cycle depending on the occasion. And my Dexcom and Omnipod send me any low glucose alerts without a glitch.

A little cumbersome

I like this overall for abusive use. I wish it was a bit more intuitive on the use but overall I like it. A little clunky to get started.

A User-Friendly MTB Computer
on August 21, 2025
Posted by: Mike C of Spokane
Watched a few youtube videos, took the computer on a few hikes so I could concentrate on using its many features, and found that it's remarkably intuitive. The online user manual is also well written and organized. I think Garmin has created a great mtb computer.

I recently bought an electric mountain bike and am covering a lot of ground. The Edge MTB keys me make key junction decisions and it's rugged!

Love It!

Absolutely love this little computer. Highly recommend it. But, I also highly recommend reading the manual, unlike I did. Took three rides before I read it and finally got it.

Software is glitchy - freezes often
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: Stevos
This was my first device. I did not research much and bought the MTB thinking that trailforks are pre-installed. However figuring out how to have a turn by turn directions and following a route is very complex and confusing. The Garmin courses is missing many trailforks trails for MTB and so you have to push each trail manually in the area you ride. The videos could have been more helpful on the navigation part.

Okay so far
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: avtan
I bought this model to try out not sure I i will keep. most likely not dont want to risk having issues with this model too. I have had issues with multiple of their products, multiple 540s, 840, and explore, so my expectations werent high for this device. Have only had for a couple of weeks and its been working fine so far, not like that meant anything before on their other products, theres just some features that I still dont understand how to use. I dont like how when in use my screen will change from my data screens to the maps and another that shows half map and half other data then shortly after will switch back to the original screen, It does this all ride.
