Garmin Edge 1060 Bicycle Computer

The Garmin Edge 1060 is the new flagship of the Edge range and the successor to the Edge 1050. The large 3.5-inch colour screen remains, but the housing is smaller and lighter. The headline feature is voice control: say “OK Garmin” to pick a route, call up ride data or report a hazard, without taking your hands off the bars.

Alongside the touchscreen, the Edge 1060 has physical buttons again, which is handy with winter gloves or when the screen is wet. With up to 20 hours of battery in demanding use and up to 60 hours in battery saver mode, you will easily get through the day, and reverse charging even lets you top up a light or your phone.

CONTROL IT WITH YOUR VOICE

The biggest innovation is the built-in microphone. Say “OK Garmin” to choose a destination, request data or flag a pothole for other Garmin users. The answer comes through the speaker and on screen. With a paired smartphone you can also send text or voice messages during the ride via the Garmin Messenger app.

BIG SCREEN, SMALLER BODY

The screen is just as large and sharp as on the Edge 1050, but the unit itself is more than a centimetre shorter and almost 20 grams lighter. With touchscreen and buttons you choose how to operate it, even in bad conditions.

SMARTER NAVIGATION

Load routes from Garmin Connect, Strava, Komoot or Ride with GPS, or build them on the device. New is Free Flow Routing, which picks routes with fewer stops, junctions and slow sections so you keep your rhythm. Route options take into account how much time you have and which bike you are riding. High-Zoom Road Visibility makes small roads easier to see and Up Ahead shows how far it is to a coffee stop, water point or toilet. Back-to-Start and rerouting are of course included.

TRAINING AND PACING

Garmin Coach builds training plans that adapt to your recovery, your workouts and the course you are going to ride, including strength training. Real-Time Stamina estimates how much energy you have left and Power Guide gives power targets based on stamina, elevation and wind. These features require a heart rate monitor and/or power meter.

GROUP RIDING AND SAFETY

With GroupRide you see each other’s location during a group ride, send messages and get an alert in case of an incident. You can also join an active group ride nearby. The Edge 1060 works with Garmin Varia radars, lights and cameras, and the speaker doubles as a bike bell.

REVERSE CHARGING

The Edge 1060 can act as a small power bank. Via a USB-C cable you can, for example, charge your rear light or phone during a stop. Keep in mind that this uses the Edge’s own battery. For extra-long rides the Garmin Charge Power Pack with Edge Power Mount is available separately.

SENSORS AND COMPATIBILITY

Pair heart rate monitors, power meters, speed and cadence sensors via ANT+ or Bluetooth. Electronic shifting with Shimano Di2 and SRAM AXS is supported, including gear display. A compatible Garmin watch can show its screens on the Edge via Extended Display.
