Garmin, the smart wearables giant, has launched a lineup of GPS-based cycling computers in India — the Edge 540 and 840 Series. In a press release, Garmin said these devices offer cyclists advanced features such as dynamic performance insights, improved mapping, solar charging, and more for optimal performance and training.

The devices will be available in India at Garmin brand stores in Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Pune, as well as online at Amazon.in, and its offline partners. The prices range from Rs 35,990-55,990 depending on the configuration.

Garmin said in the release that the Edge 540 and 840 will help cyclists identify their strengths and weaknesses, prepare for the demands of specific courses, and manage efforts with power targets throughout a course. The ClimbPro ascent planner feature helps cyclists to view the remaining ascent and grade for each climb while riding. Additionally, the multi-band GNSS enhances positioning accuracy, ensuring cyclists can easily find their way in challenging environments such as dense tree cover or downtown urban environments, Garmin said.
