Especially since it was launched at an attractive price point and has stayed at that point. In this post we sum up the upgrades, so you can decide if these upgrades have value for your own cycling needs \u2013 and if this bike computer is the one for you. The respected cycling authority, DC Rainmaker, has said that the Garmin Edge 530 \u201clooks like the best bike computer ever.\u201d Read on and see &#8211; you just might agree. Certainly, it has become our top pick as well.

In any event, previous to the 530, if you wanted a premium-performance bike computer, you could be forgiven for being a bit confused. There were many options that sound very similar, notably in the Garmin Edge 500 and 800 series. But with the launch of the Garmin Edge 530, the choice got a lot simpler.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-garmin-edge-bike-2\/\">ALL Garmin Edge Bike Computers Compared<\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Related Post: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-830-vs-820\/\">Garmin Edge 830 vs 820<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The Story of the Garmin Edge 500 Series, So Far<\/h2>\n<p>This well-loved series first launched with the Garmin Edge 500 in 2009, followed by the Garmin Edge 510 in 2013.

As a result, the Edge 520 was, for a long time, our pick for best bike computer.<\/p>\n<p>But when the Garmin Edge 520 <strong>Plus<\/strong> was launched in 2018, there was yet <em>more<\/em> excitement. This bike computer combined all the sophistication of the 520, with much better maps and some (limited) navigation abilities. This positioned the 520 Plus as a more affordable alternative to the top Garmin Edge models \u2013 the Edge 830 and Edge 1030. So, for a long time, it has been our pick for best bike computer. Almost as good as the 830 and 1030, but way cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>I published my in-depth comparison post comparing the <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-1030-vs-820-vs-520-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edge 1030 vs. 820 vs. 520,<\/a> and it was extremely popular.

This upgrade is awesome for those who like to cycle up hills. On the 530, it only works on downloaded routes. But it\u2019s really quite awesome \u2013 it basically shows you graphically the grades that lie ahead, as well as the grade you are currently climbing. This could be immensely useful on long-distance, hilly rides.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade no. 4: Mountain Biking Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>The Garmin Edge 530 is a whole lot better for mountain biking. Several of the upgrades are directly related to mounting biking, notably:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Grit rating<\/strong> \u2013 this shows you how difficult a route is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flow rating<\/strong> \u2013 this shows you how well you descended a tough route. This gives you a metric to try and beat the next time!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hang time<\/strong> \u2013 this shows you on the fly how long you were in the air after a jump. Later, you can analyze every single jump in great detail on Garmin Connect. How far did you jump, how long were you in the air, and how fast were you going?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trailforks<\/strong> \u2013 this app is integrated into the unit. This means that maps for 130,000 mountain bike trails are included in the unit, along with their difficulty rating. So, you can see the difficulty level of the trails you are cycling on. If the trail forks, you can make an informed decision as to which trail to take. For example, if you\u2019re tired, you can choose a trail with a lower difficulty level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Upgrade no. 5: Enhanced Performance Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>If you choose this bike computer, you get even more data. These performance metrics include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Performance power curve<\/strong> \u2013 this will track your power over various periods of time. This is very useful if you are training and want to track improvements.

So, if you are interested in training, this could be super useful for you. It&#8217;s like having a training coach on your handlebars.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade no. 7: Bluetooth Smart<\/h3>\n<p>The Garmin Edge 530 has Bluetooth Smart connectivity, so you can use sensors that connect via Bluetooth Smart. This is of course in addition to ANT+ connectivity. Bluetooth Smart is very fast, and is also becoming almost universal.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade no. 8: Longer Battery Life<\/h3>\n<p>The built-in battery offers 20 hours (up from 15). More importantly for long-distance cyclists, the Edge 530 can be used in conjunction with a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/328zJoo\">Garmin Edge Charge Power Pack<\/a>, so you have power for more than 40 hours! In practice, if you were navigating and running multiple sensors, this would be more like 10 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"bl-58-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B077C45BGN\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"48f813d6cfeda7134f72f7ef7e6c5968\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Upgrade no. 9: Bike Alarm and Find my Bike Computer<\/h3>\n<p>You can use this in situations such as running into the coffee shop or the washroom.

Of course, longer than one minute, and you will still want to combine this with a great bike lock.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/7-best-bike-locks\/\">7 of the Best Bike Locks to Keep Your Bike Safe<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you do a huge jump and your Garmin Edge 530 manages to come loose and land in the bushes. With this feature you can get it to make a noise, so you can find it.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I would be more likely to use it to find where I left it. The main reason I wore an Apple watch for a few years was because I could use it to find my iPhone. Very useful feature!<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HFsoR1\">Bottom Line on the Garmin Edge 530<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This was such a great upgrade, and yet the price is very reasonable, relative to other Garmin Edge bike computers. If you cycle long distances, if you are seriously into bike training, and most especially if you are a <strong>mountain biker<\/strong>, the choice of premium bike computer is simple \u2013 get the Edge 530!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"bl-58-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B07QBDG3TR\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"f97fdad09ab8fac6d0ccd486687b292e\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Note however that since the 530 first rolled out, the mountain biking features have been extended to almost the entire line of Garmin Edge bike computers. That is one of the best things about Garmin &#8211; they extend the new upgrades to the rest of the line.<\/p>\n<p>There are only two reasons we can see to spend more money than the price of the 530. The first would be if you really need state-of-the-art navigation, including inputting addresses on the fly. In that case, you would be well advised to spend the extra $100 to get a Garmin Edge 830.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"bl-58-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B07QFG246X\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"bb2bec40563c789de369bbc2fd93774d\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And if you need state-of-the-art navigation plus you have difficulty seeing a smaller bike computer, then you would need to spend an extra $200 to get the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus.
