Let your friends know when you go for a great training session. Connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth, the little Edge 510 sends your location to your club mates.

But the GPS computer also has a lot more to offer. In addition to the most important ride data and altitude information, the customisable display also shows heart rate and cadence. Even power meters, such as the PowerTap hub, can be paired with the Edge. The device is also ideal for recording your training routes. However, when tracking routes, the Edge follows the track too slowly. You don't need a map display here anyway. Its big brother, the Edge 810, can do this better. The touchscreen on the 810 also reacts much more sensitively to finger commands. The battery easily lasts for several long rides.


PLUS Ant+ and Bluetooth compatible, very extensive functions
MINUS Touchscreen not very sensitive, slow route tracking


Weight 81 grammes
Price 299 Euro

For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
