With a bright 2.6” colour touchscreen and compact 50 x 82 x 20mm dimensions, the Edge 830 weighs just 79.1g, while the rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 20 hours of battery life. The Edge 830 is also waterproof rated to IPX7 standards, so you can be sure it can withstand a good drenching.
Edge 830 is preloaded with the Garmin Cycle Map, including turn-by-turn directions and navigation alerts that notify you of upcoming turns. Use the bright, responsive touchscreen to create new rides and courses right on the Edge device. To help you ride like a local, popularity routing chooses from the roads and trails most travelled by fellow cyclists. Edge 830 is smart enough to guide you back to the route — or back to start — if you deviate from it or decide to head home early. With route calculation speeds 2 times faster than previous models, you'll spend more time riding, not waiting around.
The Edge 830 takes data collection to the next level; not only does it record your data, it provides dynamic performance insights to help you beat your best. It can help you stay hydrated better, telling you when to drink and eat to maximise your performance. The Edge 830 also features a range of sport-specific enhancements, like the MTB-focused Grit and Flow features, which rate the difficulty of your ride using GPS, elevation and accelerometer data and measures how smoothly you descend a trail. This gives you a target to beat on your next ride and is great for a bit of friendly competition with your riding buddies. The Edge 830 also features a new ClimbPro feature which automatically shows you the remaining ascent and gradient when you're climbing; helpful when you need to pace yourself up a long climb.
To go with the boom of electric bike sales, the Edge 830 is compatible with Shimano STEPS eBike system, which gives you a dedicated eBike status screen, data fields and support system status. The Edge 830 can be customised easily with free apps from the ConnectIQ store, such as AccuWeather, Strava, Komoot, Wikiloc and Yelp.
Like other models in the Garmin range, the Edge 830 has been designed to create a safer riding environment with smartphone-compatible features like rider-to-rider messaging. This is a great way for you to stay in contact with your fellow riders without needing to reach for your phone. It allows you to send prewritten messages and let them know if you’ll catch them or to go on without you. You can also send prewritten replies to texts or missed calls. The unit can also be paired with LiveTrack and GroupTrack to let friends, family and fellow riders keep track of your location in real-time.
Another great safety feature is incident detection which can manually or automatically send your location to your emergency contacts in the event of an unexpected mishap. It’s also compatible with Varia cycling awareness accessories, including Varia rearview radar and Varia smart bike lights. Compact, versatile and of great value, the Garmin Edge 830 is perfect for riders who want top-level performance at a reasonable price.
