OLATHE, Kan., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE:GRMN) today announced the Edge® 550 and 850, advanced and compact cycling computers built to help riders better prepare and train for an event or goal. By tracking their progress through adaptive Garmin Cycling Coach plans, cyclists can feel their best going into race day. When in-ride, smart fueling alerts1 offer custom nutrition and hydration recommendations while real-time weather overlays2 keep riders informed from start to finish. Boasting a bright and colorful 2.7-inch display, Edge 550 and 850 are also highly responsive and feature fast, smooth map redraw while navigating. And with up to 36 hours of ride time in battery saver mode and up to 12 hours in demanding use cases, these cycling computers can support cyclists through their longest rides.
"Whether cyclists are training for their next big race or pushing toward a new personal goal, Edge 550 and Edge 850 are with them every step of the way. While the brighter display ensures riders can see maps and data in stunning detail, they can also feel confident that they'll perform at their best with more personalized insights and training plans."
–Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
Peak performance from start to finish
- Free Garmin Cycling Coach plans in Garmin Connect™ adapt based on specific course demands and the rider's training and recovery1, providing recommended training adjustments.
- Riders can now see how their cycling ability, which can help them understand their strengths and weaknesses as a cyclist, progresses over time and how it compares to the demands of a course.
- Smart fueling alerts prompt riders to hydrate and refuel in-ride based on their current fitness, course demands, heat and humidity2 when using power guide or following a workout.
- Monitor the weather in-ride and make more informed decisions with real-time weather updates, including wind direction and radar overlays.
- New GroupRide data comparisons show riders how their speed, heart rate, power, cadence and more stack up to the rest of the group2, in addition to existing GroupRide features that allow them to compete, communicate and stay connected with fellow riders.
- After a ride, cyclists can check their post-ride summary to see how much time was spent in each gear with new Gear Ratio Analysis (when paired with electronic shifting).
- For those who like to ride off the beaten path, mountain bike ride profiles help better track their ride performance. Enduro and downhill profiles enable 5 Hz GPS recording while descending, helping cyclists view the lines they took in greater detail, while the timing gates feature helps them see splits in real time for each lap or run.
