Description
Overlook no longer. The news from the road (and trail) is that Garmin's bike computer game is on. We all know the brand lost ground to Wahoo in the last few years. But with products like the 840, Garmin is ready to make a big play for your bike computer mount.
Like its Solar cousin, the 840 - Standard offers both buttons or a touchscreen, making navigation in every sense of the word easy. And for those going long, the 840 can keep up for 42 hours in battery saver mode. En route, it will genuinely delight you with its magical ability to suggest routes that match the surface you're rolling over and help you ascend better than ever with ClimbPro, a tool to help you see the whole hill before you hit it, with information like what grade's coming up and where you should preserve effort. It's awesome.
We've been using the 840 a lot, so if you want more info, read Ben's blog on the Solar edition or come into the shop to see one for yourself and get the skinny.
