Garmin Edge MTB, Rugged GPS Bike Computer with Preloaded, Full-Color Trail Maps and Advanced Performance-Tracking for Mountain Bikers

I enjoy how compact and rugged the Edge MTB is. The new top tube mount is pretty slick as well for downhill and enduro riding. I got this unit while sending my Explore 2 in for a broken mount and screen. I actually prefer the smaller size of the Edge MTB.

I live in the Midwest where there are no mountains. "Mountain biking" here is more of a series of ups and downs. However, I wanted the accuracy of the 5 Hz recording. I put the Garmin MTB in Enduro mode and set it to downhill and just leave it. I climb and go downhill, all being captured in 5 Hz accuracy. It would be nice if the Mountain Biking setting would just record in 5 Hz all the time, but I realize Garmin is trying to give you maximum battery life.

So far, so good. Haven't really gotten into all the features yet. Still need to figure out what I want to access and track on this one. Kind of excited to see the air time feature.

Had the edge 830 and switched to the edge MTB. I am not a huge tech guy, so the simplicity of the MTB over the 830 works in my favor. This does not have a touch screen, but I find I don't scroll that much while on the trail. Huge win for me.

Absolutely love my grandma edge mountain bike computer. I can’t believe I’ve written all these years without one. What a difference it’s nice to have all this information after I’m done riding.

I ride trails, road and whatever is fun. This is a great computer to use for everything. Works really well in off the grid spots on the trail and seems to work just as well for me on the road.

Very happy with the edge MTB. Coming from the 1030 I struggle to read the text on screen. It would be really nice to have a text/font size adjustment, especially in brighter light. I also seem to be constantly, inadvertently pressing buttons when putting it on or taking it off the mount as they seem to be in the exact spots needed for proper leverage to lock/unlock on/from the mount, but I should get used to it in time.

I have used the MTB edge 4 times and it is a nice unit. However I took 3, 10 mile rides and one mountain bike ride. The mountain bike ride went fine but all 3 of my road bike rides the unit restarted 3 times in each road ride. The rides were only 40 minutes each but the MTB edge rebooted 3 times on its own, it just shut down and restarted the battery was above 50%each time. I am considering returning it and getting something else.

I have used the EDGE MTB a few times coming from an Edge 530 and find the screen a little small. I also find the trail forks to pop up when I am on trail with no forks and am forced to get out of the screen so I can see my stats. I am sure I can turn this feature off but want to use it when I am on an unknown trail.

Wish I could return this. I bought it in October with Expervoice, and it's VERY small, almost unusably small for doing intervals, or reading a map. The battery goes down very fast with power, radar/light, and map going all at the same time. The removable tabs on the back on the biggest highlight. Why havn't all GPS been doing that for the last 20 years. Don't waste your money on this one. Double check the measurements. You might want to save up and get one of the bigger solar models.
