Garmin® International announced the Edge® 550 and 850, advanced and compact cycling computers built to help riders better prepare and train for an event or goal. By tracking their progress through adaptive Garmin Cycling Coach plans, cyclists can feel their best going into race day. When in-ride, smart fueling alerts1 offer custom nutrition and hydration recommendations while real-time weather overlays2 keep riders informed from start to finish. Boasting a bright and colorful 2.7-inch display, Edge 550 and 850 are also highly responsive and feature fast, smooth map redraw while navigating. And with up to 36 hours of ride time in battery saver mode and up to 12 hours in demanding use cases, these cycling computers can support cyclists through their longest rides.

Garmin Edge 550 and 850 – the brightest and smartest compact bike computers

Peak performance from start to finish

  • Free Garmin Cycling Coach plans in Garmin Connect™ adapt based on specific course demands and the rider’s training and recovery1, providing recommended training adjustments.
  • Riders can now see how their cycling ability, which can help them understand their strengths and weaknesses as a cyclist, progresses over time and how it compares to the demands of a course.
  • Smart fueling alerts prompt riders to hydrate and refuel in-ride based on their current fitness, course demands, heat and humidity2 when using power guide or following a workout.
  • Monitor the weather in-ride and make more informed decisions with real-time weather updates, including wind direction and radar overlays.
  • New GroupRide data comparisons show riders how their speed, heart rate, power, cadence and more stack up to the rest of the group2, in addition to existing GroupRide features that allow them to compete, communicate and stay connected with fellow riders.
  • After a ride, cyclists can check their post-ride summary to see how much time was spent in each gear with new Gear Ratio Analysis (when paired with electronic shifting).
  • For those who like to ride off the beaten path, mountain bike ride profiles help better track their ride performance. Enduro and downhill profiles enable 5 Hz GPS recording while descending, helping cyclists view the lines they took in greater detail, while the timing gates feature helps them see splits in real time for each lap or run.

Ride with peace of mind

Edge 550 and 850 include core Garmin safety features designed to help support cyclists’ peace of mind and awareness. With the Edge 850, cyclists can alert pedestrians and other riders that they’re approaching with a digital bike bell. Edge 550 and 850 also alert riders to road hazards reported by fellow Garmin cyclists and allow them to contribute their own edits2. Family and friends back home can keep track of a rider’s real-time location with LiveTrack2, while incident detection sends a message with their location4 to their emergency contacts if an incident is detected. These cycling computers are also compatible with Varia™ cameras and radars, audibly alerting riders when a vehicle is approaching, capturing footage from their ride and allowing them to control light or camera settings from their display.
