New Garmin computers have arrived and are loaded with a ton of new features to monitor your cycling fitness progression. While you have the essential performance insights such as heart rate, cadence, VO2 max, recovery, training load focus, heat and altitude acclimation, nutrition, hydration, ect… they’re also focusing on the “fun factor” with exciting new features such as mountain bike dynamics including jump count, jump distance and hang time. Grit mode measures your ride difficulty, and Flow, which tracks the smoothness of your descent so you have a score to beat next time. The mountain biking model has integrated Trailforks data, including trail difficulty ratings. For riders who spend all day pedaling, the battery will last up to 20 hours with GPS and is extendable up to 40 hours with the optional Garmin Charge power pack or in battery save mode.
