Garmin’s Edge 130 is a compact and feature-packed GPS bike computer

...And it has a wallet-friendly price tag to boot

The new Edge 130 isn’t Garmin’s most tech-heavy bike computer, but we reckon it could be the goldilocks gadget for cyclists on a budget. At £170, it’s more than £100 cheaper than the popular Edge 520, and for that you get GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellites for accurate navigation, as well as a built-in altimeter. The diminutive device is also compatible with Garmin Connect’s Course Creator feature, which allows you to download courses and plan your route in advance. Stats and turn prompts are displayed on the crisp black and white screen, and you can have it ping you notifications so you don’t need to reach for your phone. Pick one up later this year.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
