Why We Like The Edge 530 Bike Computer Mountain Bike Bundle

When you're in the woods on your bike, it's hard not to just take in the ride and the beautiful scenery nature has to offer. Sometimes the last thing you want is an electronic gizmo that might spoil the experience, but then, there are times when you are visiting a new location and want to get the lowdown on the riding spots or perhaps, analyze a ride later on. That's where the Edge 530 Bike Computer comes in handy. With its touchscreen operation, route planning and mapping, compatibility with various sensors, and connection with fellow riders and family at home, the 530 provides everything we want and need in a modern computer. With this particular model, it receives the Mountain Bike Bundle which adds the mountain bike mount, an Edge remote, and silicone case. Additionally, it comes loaded with Trailforks data, including trail difficulty ratings, so you can select an appropriate route and it can provide off-course recalculation assistance to quickly get you back to the trailhead if needed.


Returning features include group messaging and tracking letting you communicate with the pack without having to pull out the phone from your back pocket. So if the group takes a fork in the trail or someone has a mechanical, if you're paired with GroupTrack, it's easy to regroup. It also receives assistance and compatibility with Varia rearview radar and lights (sold separately) so you can see and be seen, while a new bike alarm rounds out the list of cycling safety features.


The 530 is compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors such as powermeters, speed, cadence, and heart rate monitor, providing real-time metrics that you can view on the ride and analyze later. By paring with these compatible sensors, the 530 provides insights on your VO2 max, advises recovery time, training balance, heat and altitude acclimation, nutrition, hydration, and more.


Once connected to Garmin's Connect IQ store, you can easily customize the Edge 530 with free apps, widgets, and data fields. For instance, a weather app can keep you aware of changing conditions and if you need to seek cover, while training apps let you, and your coach, know if you're doing the workouts correctly. Every data field is easily customizable letting you put important information exactly where you want on the easy to read touchscreen.


For the mountain bike data junkie, the Edge 520 provides MTB dynamics and has the ability to track the number of jumps, the jump distance and hang time. It also has Grit, which combines metrics to measure a ride’s difficulty and Flow that tracks the smoothness of your lines on the descent so you can see where the faster lines are hidden. And while riding in rough terrain, the included Edge Remote lets you use your Edge 520 without removing your hands from the grips.


Water resistance gets an IPX7 rating which is more than enough for wet rides. One area that really impressed us was its 20-hour claimed battery life and the ability to work with the Garmin Charge power pack for up to 40 hours of additional battery life. Included with the computer is a mountain bike mount, standard mount, USB cable, silicone case, Edge remote, and manual.

Great Useful, if the touch screen is ready.

I bought this last week, and have fun with this toy. However, if touch screen is ready, this must be more useful to use it.

Poorly constructed - not buying Garmin again

18 month old Garmin 530, screen bubbles with a bit of rain then falls off and put the unit in alarm. And it is supposed to be IPX7. Was a great unit but not if it can't even last 18 months with only a 12 month warranty. Wahoo next!

For bikepacking and day tours

I used it for about 18 Months. It is a great gadget. It greatest helps is on climbs, when I was using a course it keeps me on track about the ascension. Having 10 field in real time is also great. BUT... while on bikepacking countest, or just on tours the Edge 530 turns off and than back on again. No too often but enough to give one a short anxiety kick when in middle of nowhere... a forrest in the middle of Transylvania, where I live...

Have 2 keep re-registering

Garmin not so good. My 530 somehow, once again, needed to be re-synched and re-registered. Sucks. Lost many ride histories. I’m really not pleased, nor would I recommend, Garmin units for cycling.

Garmin Firmware/Software sucks

I was trying to install a course map for STP onto my Garmin 530. Garmin Connect and Garmin Express had both been talking to my 530 for months, but couldn't find it when I tried to send the STP course. I had to completely remove the 530 and re-instal it to complete the operation. This is the kind of issue that I run into any time that I try to do something involving Garmin Firmware or Software.

Possible Improvements...

Overall, I think two things need improvement and this can be done via the upgrades on the app itself (or a software upgrade)... 1. The font currently is too thick - reducing effective visibility. So, a font change option or should switch over to maybe something like Ariel Narrow. 2. The data screens config options should be connected to a grid on the phone - this way, the phone's touch screen will ease the rider to do the changes in secs, and the same would reflect on the device on the go... it just needs a simple code, but will take the interface to the next-gen. 3. QR code on the device screen can be used to connect the setup app on the phone or the Wi-Fi settings. Simple and snappy. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Great hardware, terrible software

Computer has been a bit of a disappointment. It is abnormally difficult to connect to bluetooth. Almost every time I get a 'cannot connect to garmin servers' message when syncing data. When I do get it to connect to bluetooth when I try to sync from garmin connect it is never successful- always receive a 'sync failed, device busy' error message. Every time I try to upload a ride from the device manually there is always an 'upload failed' error message. The only way it will actually sync is to plug the device in manually to my computer. For the price of this device, it works very poorly! The endless troubleshooting forums for this device and independent developer blogs describing how to use the hardware without actually using their software reveals how common these issues are. Per garmin's troubleshooting instructions I have had to factory reset the device - each time, a time consuming nightmare to connect to my phone.

good connected navigator for a fair prize

With Speed, Cadence, Remote, HRM sensors and the Rally RS200 Power-meter pedals, this robust compact cycling navi really becomes a connected powerhouse for serious analytics both live during training and later analysis via the Connect app and -portal. Battery lasts forever. Though its routing capabilities, available apps (via the mediocre ConnectIQ store) and its UI (through soo many functions via too many button presses), feel outdated compared to modern Smartphones. Setting-up data screens after many firmware updates sadly still can’t be done drag-drop via the Connect app yet only via zillion button presses in the 530. Once finally setup though, no need to reconfigure this luckily ever again. All things considered, a very handy versatile bike-computer. Recommended

No

I think the setup sucks. Every time I try and use this 530 I have to make adjustments.Then I try and give a review and I can’t because of errors.
