More improvements in the Garmin cycling ecosystem. Essentially further moves to get all the bits working with all the other relevant bits. A trend, Isuspect, that Garmin will continue.
I was expecting an announcement from Garmin today of ‘something’. Something a bit more exciting than this though – like a new Edge 820. Oh well. We can always wait until the middle of next month.
Press Release Below
———————————————————————
Edge 1000 – The Edge 1000 now features FTP and watts per kilogram tracking, VO2 max and recovery advisor metrics provided by Firstbeat, and ANT+ trainer support.
ANT+ Shifting – The Edge 520 and 1000 now integrate with ANT+ shifting, enabling the SRAM RED eTAP and Campagnolo EPS systems. Cyclists can view their current gear directly on their devices via a data field, their gear ratio (front gear/rear gear), and their electronic shifting system battery status.
