Garmin Edge 1030 Plus

-

What’s the story?

The luxury selection of the three, the 1030 Plus can do pretty much everything you could possibly imagine a bike computer doing and then some. It’s also considerab­ly easier than strapping a laptop, a profession­al coach and a nutritioni­st to your bike.

Is it any good?

It’s great. The 3.5in touchscree­n manages to accommodat­e every kind of metric you could want, plus more if you have power meters, HR monitors and more synced up. It displays routes on an easy-to-follow map, noisily beeping when a turn or sharp bend is coming up and rerouting on the fly if you miss one. Setup is fiddly, but once you’ve mastered adding additional apps and figured out the different swipes, you’ll be flying around it like IOS 14. Still though, that price does chafe a bit.

Costs as much as a bike, but it’s worth it if you can afford it
