Garmin Edge 520 GPS Enabled Computer - Speed, Cadence and HRM Bundle

The Garmin Edge 520 GPS enabled cycle computer is a powerful and compact training aid that's designed to give you all the data you need to improve your performance.

This Edge 520 bundle comes with a heart rate monitor, speed and cadence sensor so you have everything you need to start tracking your performance.

The Edge 520 is packed with impressive new features including integration with Strava live so you can receive segments sent directly from Strava. Compete for a King of the Mountain, beat a personal best or thrash your mates.

The Garmin Edge 520 can also report cycling specific VO2 max and recovery time data when used with a power meter and a heart rate monitor. Pair with Garmin Vector power meter pedals and you can see the comparative power through each pedal.

Another new feature is the ability to pair with compatible ANT+ indoor turbo trainers. This means during those long and dark winter months you can use the computer to control your turbo. Choose a specific training programme to follow and the turbo will change resistance to reflect life-like conditions.

These features along with a long 15-hour battery life optimised high res colour display and a large range of data points make the Garmin Edge 520 the all-purpose cycle computer.
