Garmin Malaysia has introduced its first solar-powered GPS bike computer: the Edge 1040 Solar. Let’s check out what it has to bring to the table.
As its name implied, the Edge 1040 Solar comes with a Power Glass solar-charging lens, allowing cyclists to have even more ride time between each charge.
The multi-band GNSS technology is another feature of the Edge 1040 Solar and non-solar that helps cyclists in obtaining better GPS navigation in challenging environments.
Furthermore, the Edge 1040 Series are able to provide insights such as VO2 max, recovery time, training load, training focus, and more from Firstbeat Analytics to assist users to improve their performance by showing how their body is reacting to their training efforts.
On top of that, they will also get daily workout suggestions that are based on their current training load and VO2 max.
The GPS bike computer also has safety and tracking features such as incident detection, assistance, and LiveTrack to enable loved ones to track a cyclist’s whereabouts in real-time and view their complete pre-mapped route.
What’s more, the Edge 1040 Series also features ClimbPro, which enables users to analyze their climb performance after a ride as well as check the remaining ascent and grade for each climb as well via the Garmin Connect app or the GPS bike computer directly.
Pricing and Availability
The Edge 1040 Solar and the non-solar edition are currently available for RM3,699 and RM3,450 respectively. Riders can purchase them via Garmin’s official store on Shopee, Lazada, AECO e-store, and all its authorized retailers.
