Garmin Edge® 540 GPS Bike Computer

More power, more function, more potential: With the Edge® 540, GARMIN is introducing the latest addition to its popular 500 model series - and the proven concept of a fully featured GPS training computer with compact design and classic button operation works perfectly again this time.

With sophisticated training and navigation functions as well as pre-installed bike maps, the Edge® 540 is your personal trainer and bike guide in one and will motivate you to new peak performances day after day. GARMIN’s Edge® 540 is a further development of its successful predecessor Edge® 530 and impresses with a longer battery life, higher GPS accuracy and numerous new training features. Train for up to 26 hours on a single charge and discover new routes with the preloaded, routable GARMIN bike map and map overlays for popular routes. Rely on your GPS signal even in difficult conditions thanks to multi-band GNSS and get details of upcoming climbs even without a loaded track with the new ClimbPro™.

Settings can now also be adjusted with the paired smartphone and synchronised in real time. In conjunction with external sensors, you can also look forward to advanced training tools such as Stamina or PowerGuide, with which you can optimally manage your distance and energy reserves. Daily training suggestions or reminders are also integrated into the Edge® 540. Additional added value is provided by smart functions such as smartphone music control or automatic accident detection, which now also works off-road.

Those who prefer buttons to touch controls and value performance and slim dimensions will find the GARMIN Edge 540® an almost ideal training partner. Whether you’re a road racer, mountain biker, hobby cyclist, competitive athlete – or anything in between.


Highlights:

• ADAPTIVE COACHING*: View daily suggested workouts and training prompts directly on the display. Get personalised coaching based on an upcoming event that adapts to your current training load and recovery.
• MULTI-FREQUENCY SATELLITE RECEPTION: Precise positioning even in narrow mountain valleys and urban canyons: Use multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) for more precise position information than with just the use of GPS.
• CLIMBPRO – PLAN CLIMBS CLEVERLY: Automatically see the remaining ascent and grade when you’re climbing while following a route or course. This helps you gauge your effort and see how much you have left to suffer. You can even save your climbs for postride review on your device or in the GARMIN Connect™ app.
• CYCLING ABILITY AND ROUTE REQUIREMENTS*: Find out your strengths as a cyclist and compare them to the demands of a route so you can assess what you're up against.
• POWER GUIDE*: Find the optimal power input for your route and its elevation profile to create a power strategy for your route.


Preparation:

• TRAINING CONDITION*: With indicators like HRV status (heart rate variability), training log and power, you get insights into your overall effort. That way you know whether you are building up your form during training, are in top form or are tired.
• ALTITUDE AND HEAT ACCLIMATISATION*: See how your body adapts to the current altitude or heat. The information is based on your health data.
• GROUPRIDE**: GroupRide makes it easy to organise group rides. Share the route and stay in contact with all participants during the ride, receive accident notifications, compare yourself in leaderboards and win awards.
• GROUPTRACK FEATURE**: Keep an eye on your fellow riders, even when they fall out of sight. With GroupTrack, you can see up to 50 friends on the display at the same time.
• TOURING-SPECIFIC MAPS: Find your way around like a local – no matter what bike you're riding. Optimised maps highlight popular roads and trails. What’s more, they offer searchable points of interest.
• TRENDLINE™ POPULARITY MAP: The Trendline™ Popularity Map Overlay uses billions of kilometres of GARMIN Connect™ data to help you find the most popular routes for your activity. You can display the heat map information directly on the map of your bike computer.
• EVENT GOALS: Select a race distance and a time goal. Then receive daily suggested workouts that will help you with your preparation.
• PRELOADED CYCLE MAP: Ride with preloaded maps that include worldwide MTB trail data from Trailforks.


Training and performance:

• CYCLING DYNAMICS*: Extended cycling data provide insight into performance taking different conditions into account.
• MTB DYNAMICS: With jump analysis, MTB Dynamics offer you all the data you need as an MTB rider to analyse your jumps and downhill rides.
• GRIT® AND FLOW™ METRICS: The Grit® value indicates the difficulty of a trail. The Flow® gives information about how fluid your riding style is. Based on these values, you can analyse your performance and work on it.
• TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS: Never get lost with turn-by-turn directions and alerts that notify you of upcoming turns. Arrive at your destination safe and relaxed.
• BACK TO THE START: Get lost or want to start your way back early? With the Tracback® function you can easily find your way back to the starting point.
• PIN DROP NAVIGATION: Select a point in the iOS Maps app on your iPhone® and send the position directly to your compatible GARMIN bike computer via the GARMIN Connect™ app. Get a route and navigation to the position.
• NUTRITION AND HYDRATION ALERTS: Get the insight you need to stay fueled, mile after mile. The bike computer will notify you when it’s time to hydrate or eat.
• STAMINA REMAINING ENERGY: This endurance function tracks your performance and shows you the energy you have available during your physical activity. This way you can avoid premature exhaustion.


Cycling safety and assistance:

• SAFELY ON THE GO THANKS TO VARIA™: Pair your bike computer with the Varia™ radar and/or the Varia™ bike lights to ensure you can see enough and be seen clearly by others.
• INCIDENT DETECTION**: This bike computer automatically sends a message with your location to pre-installed emergency contacts when an incident is detected.

• BIKE ALARM & FIND MY EDGE**: Get alerted if your bike is moved while you are away and get the option to find the last position of your Edge® if it is lost in a fall.
• COMPATIBILITY WITH INREACH® DEVICES****: If you want to stay in touch even in remote areas, pair the bike computer with a compatible inReach device (active satellite subscription required). View and reply to messages, share trip data and trigger interactive SOS alerts..
