Garmin Edge 1040 Solar GPS Bike Computer

Edge 1040 Solar is powered by the sun and packed with everything under it. It’s our first GPS bike computer with solar charging, so you can ride longer and get even better coverage in the most challenging environments. Solar charging adds up to 20 minutes of battery life per hour during daytime riding. The Edge 1040 series represents our first GPS bike computers with multi-band GNSS technology for even better coverage under dense tree cover, on remote mountain trails and even in the urban canyon.

It’s also packed with performance features that help you understand your strengths and weaknesses to coach you through any challenge. It can even help you manage your efforts by providing power targets throughout a course and stamina feature insights, so you know how much gas is left in the tank. And the setup is simple, so you can take it out of the box and be out riding in no time.
