Garmin Edge 850 GPS Cycling Computer

Brighter and faster than any other 800-series. Borrowing the brilliant transmissive LCD screen from the Edge 1050, the 850 makes your rides look better than ever. The 850 also gets the 1050’s faster processor, letting you swipe through modes and maps like you’re on your phone. Garmin’s powerful multiband GPS takes care of your speed and distance data. Free detailed maps make planning routes nice and simple. The onboard storage has been doubled (from 32 to 64 GB). This extra space means you can have two continents’ worth of maps ready to go, so there’s even less between you and that epic bikepacking trip. The 850 even gets all the features of latest Edge MTB, making this computer as useful off-road as it is on-road. When paired with your phone through the free Garmin Connect™ app, you can use your favourite fitness apps, receive notifications, download training plans and personalized daily workouts, review activities, and more. Tarmac, gravel, dirt, or even bike lanes—wherever you ride, the 850 gives you all the information you need and looks great doing it.
