Garmin Edge 550 & 850: Brighter, Smarter & Built for Every Ride

When Garmin launches a new Edge device, cyclists everywhere pay attention. This time, they’ve raised the bar again with the all-new Edge 550 and Edge 850, compact cycling computers designed to help you plan, prepare, and perform like never before.

These units aren’t just brighter and faster, they’re smarter, more connected, and built to deliver personalized insights that keep you fueled, focused, and confident no matter where the ride takes you.

Smarter Training for Big Goals
Both the Edge 550 and 850 feature adaptive Garmin Cycling Coach plans, which adjust your training based on your progress, recovery, and the specific demands of your next event. Whether you’re building endurance for a century ride or chasing peak power for crit racing, these devices learn your riding style and guide you to your best performance. A new Cycling Ability feature even shows you where your strengths and weaknesses lie compared to the demands of a course—so you’ll know exactly how to prepare for race day.

In-Ride Intelligence
The Edge 550 and 850 deliver tools to keep you sharp in the saddle:

• Smart fueling alerts remind you when to hydrate and refuel, based on fitness level, course profile, and even weather conditions.
• Real-time weather overlays show wind direction and radar, so you can adjust your pacing and tactics mid-ride.
• GroupRide data comparisons let you see how your speed, heart rate, and power stack up against your friends in real time.
• New Gear Ratio Analysis (with electronic shifting) breaks down how much time you spend in each gear.

For mountain bikers, the new ride profiles with 5 Hz GPS recording capture every line, lap, and descent in stunning detail.

What’s New on the Edge 850
The 850 builds on the 550 with a few standout extras:

• Built-in speaker for audible turn-by-turn directions, workout prompts, and even a digital bike bell.
• Responsive touchscreen for smooth panning, zooming, and hazard reporting.
• Garmin Pay so you can grab a mid-ride coffee or snack without bringing your wallet.
• On-device course creator for building new routes point-by-point directly from the screen.

Ride with Peace of Mind
Both devices pack Garmin’s trusted safety features, including incident detection, LiveTrack location sharing, and road hazard alerts reported by other riders. Pair with a Garmin Varia radar or camera for vehicle detection and recording—all controllable right from your Edge display.

Bright, Fast, and Ready to Go Long
With a 2.7-inch color display that’s brighter and more responsive than ever, maps and data fields pop in stunning detail. Battery life is equally impressive—up to 36 hours in battery saver mode or 12 hours under demanding use.
