Never stop cycling (together)

Make rides even more fun with features designed to bring the cycling community together.

Cyclists can also add some competition to their ride with in-ride leaderboards for climbs, plus witty postride awards, including Speed Racer (highest max speed), Chatterbox (most heavily using the GroupRide messaging feature), Worker Bee (most time spent pedaling) and more3.
  • Receive road hazard alerts on-screen that are reported by fellow cyclists – like potholes or fallen trees – and even contribute hazards to help alert other riders1.

  • Refreshed Design: Angled casing and discrete, all-metal buttons, plus a replaceable quarter-turn mount are complemented by a vivid, 3.5” liquid crystal display.
  • Garmin Pay Contactless Payments: Don’t worry about digging into your pocket to pull out cash; breeze through mid-ride café or snack stops with a tap of the Edge.
  • Built-In Speaker: Hear workout and navigation prompts and alert riders and pedestrians ahead using an on-device bike bell.
  • On-Device Course Creator: Easily create courses right on the device using the responsive touchscreen and toggle different map overlays on or off.
  • Surface Type: See paved or unpaved roadways on the Edge while riding and get alerts for upcoming unpaved sections.
  • Ride-Specific Routing: Get routing suited to a specific ride—whether it’s mountain, gravel or road.
  • Map Manager with Wi-Fi Connectivity: Add, swap, or update additional maps via Wi-Fi® right on the cycling computer.

Prepare for your next big ride

Loaded with advanced training tools, Edge 1050 is ready to help cyclists crush every ride4. Free Garmin training plans – like event adaptive training plans – deliver personalized workouts that adapt based on performance and recovery, while daily suggested workouts provide ride suggestions based on a cyclist’s current training load and VO2 max.

Insights from Firstbeat Analytics™ like VO2 max, training status, heat and altitude acclimation and more can help cyclists evaluate their performance and see how their body is holding up, while features like cycling ability and course demands allow cyclists to compare their abilities to the demands of a specific course so they can focus their training in the right areas.

Before heading out, use Trendline™ Popularity Routing to find the best routes most traveled by other Garmin cyclists, or use preloaded Garmin Cycle Maps that include worldwide mountain bike trail data from Trailforks. Cyclists can also use pin drop navigation to send a POI (“pin”) from Apple® Maps and automatically receive navigation to that location.

Perform at your best

Edge 1050 includes premium performance metrics to help cyclists ride smarter. Real-time stamina insightscan help cyclists closely monitor and track their exertion levels to help influence training efforts or see how much further the current pace can be maintained. Meanwhile, power guide now takes wind data and a cyclist’s current stamina into account to make real-time adjustments to power targets. ClimbPro lets riders see the remaining ascent and grade for each climb – whether riding a course or not – while Climb Explore lets cyclists see nearby climbs on-device or in Garmin Connect. Advanced cycling dynamics provide riders with insights into their performanceand mountain bike metrics, including jump count, jump distance, Grit® and Flow™, help track every epic ride.

Stay aware, stay connected

For added confidence during a ride, Edge 1050 includes safety features like LiveTrack and incident detection and is compatible with the Varia™ line of cycling radars and smart lights, as well as inReach® satellite communicators5. For year-round riding, Edge 1050 easily pairs to Tacx® indoor smart trainers. It can also be customized with data fields, apps and widgets from the Connect IQ™ Store smartphone app.
