Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n SINGAPORE, September 14, 2018<\/strong> \u2013 Garmin Singapore, today announced the Edge 520 Plus, a GPS bike computer featuring advanced navigation, performance monitoring capabilities and connected features that\u2019s built for use both on or off the road. Whether hitting the trails or streets, cyclists will benefit from the preloaded Garmin Cycle Maps that feature turn-by-turn directions for all terrains, and alerts to sharp curves ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Edge 520 is one of our best-selling cycling computers, so we wanted to take something our customers know and love and improve upon it,\u201d said Mr. Engelhard (Al) Sundoro, Managing Director, Garmin South Asia \u201cTherefore, some of the navigational and safety features once available only on our higher-end models \u2013 like the Garmin Cycle Map, rider-to-rider messaging, Incident Detection and more \u2013 are now integrated into the Edge 520 Plus.\u201d<\/p>\n Preloaded on the Edge 520 Plus, the Garmin Cycle Map includes turn-by-turn navigation and new alerts that notify riders of sharp curves ahead. It will even guide cyclists back to the route \u2013 or back to start \u2013 if they stray away or decide to head home early. Before heading out, riders can plan and download their routes on the improved and revamped Course Creator in Garmin Connect™, which uses Trendline™ popularity routing to provide riders with the best road, mountain or gravel routes that are aggregated from those most travelled by fellow cyclists.<\/p>\n While out for a ride, the Edge 520 Plus gives cyclists the freedom to put their phone away and still feel connected. Rider-to-rider messaging lets cyclists send prewritten messages directly from their Edge 520 Plus to other riders using a compatible device1. Built-in Incident Detection will automatically send a\u00a0cyclist\u2019s location to emergency contacts if they run into trouble, while GroupTrack2\u00a0and LiveTrack3\u00a0let\u00a0friends, family and other cyclists keep track of a rider\u2019s location in real time.<\/p>\n Compatible with the Varia™ line of cycling awareness devices, including the new RTL510 rearview radar\u00a0and UT800 smart headlight, the Edge 520 Plus helps to create a safer riding environment by alerting\u00a0cyclists to approaching cars right on the display. For riders looking for advanced performance monitoring\u00a0features, the Edge 520 Plus is compatible with ANT+\u00ae sensors \u2013 including speed, cadence and heart rate\u00a0\u2013 as well as ANT+ power meters like the Vector™ 3 to track functional threshold power (FTP) and cycling\u00a0dynamics. While using a heart rate strap, cyclists can see even more physiological data, including VO2\u00a0max and recovery time to help users keep track of how their body is performing from ride to ride.<\/p>\n Mountain bike enthusiasts can connect the Edge remote control with their Edge 520 Plus to easily start\u00a0and stop the timer, change the page or mark a lap without taking their hands off the bars. For cyclists interested in hitting the trails, the Trailforks app, which can be downloaded from the Connect\u00a0IQ™ store, lets users send selected routes to their device and head out for a ride. Featuring trails from\u00a0more than 80 countries, Trailforks can also use a cyclist\u2019s riding preferences to recommend nearby\u00a0routes.<\/p>\n Using the Best Bike Split Race Sync app installed on the Edge 520 Plus means cyclists will have all their\u00a0current race plans available at their fingertips. Best Bike Split allows riders to see how changes in weight,\u00a0power and drag affect their goal race time, while helping to create the perfect power plan for race day.<\/p>\n Installed on the Edge 520 Plus, the TrainingPeaks Connect IQ app puts daily workouts right on the\u00a0device. It guides cyclists through a workout in real time \u2013 complete with intensity targets and interval\u00a0durations. After a workout, syncing to TrainingPeaks will provide cyclists with a detailed analysis of their\u00a0ride, as well as the ability to measure progress toward their goals.<\/p>\n Featuring up to 15 hours of battery life, the Edge 520 Plus,is available on retail in Singapore from September 2018 and has a suggested retail price of S$409 at the following retailers: 1 2 Cycle, Bike n\u00a0Bites, Bru 2, Fab’s Cycle, Feder Sports, Hup Leong.
