Along with today’s announcement of a 2x new Garmin HRMs for water usage (HRM-SWIM HRM-TRI) and the caching of HR data we get the glimpse of a rather nice-looking new model of the 920XT.
It looks to only be initially available as a bundle with the new HRMs. The image above is cropped from that.
This is the sort of product strategy that is expected. It is a way of generating extra revenues from an existing ‘product form’. Effectively it extends the product’s life as well as the margin available from it.
My credit card is already twitching in anticipation. IMO it looks great.
I moaned about the colours (as did many others) and previously suggested that a black/grey model would increase sales of the Garmin 920XT and perhaps also increase the sales of any upcoming 925XT/930XT. We shall see.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
