By Press Office · 83 comments

Garmin International Inc., today announced the Edge 20 and Edge 25, compact, easy-to-use bike computers with connected features available in the Edge 25. As the world’s smallest GPS cycling computers, the Edge 20 and Edge 25 allow cyclists to go the extra mile, capturing essential data including time, distance, speed, total ascent and location. Connected features available on the Edge 25 also allow users to instantly share details of their rides with friends, family and on social media, and connect with a heart rate monitor, speed sensor and cadence sensor to get the most out of a ride. Featuring a simple interface and clear display, the Edge 20 and Edge 25 are easy to use and read on a ride.

“Real estate on your bike is limited – the Edge 20 and Edge 25 are the quintessential bike computers for cyclists wanting to save space without losing valuable features,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “The Edge 20 and Edge 25 allow cyclists to track essential stats like time, distance, speed, ascent and location in a small but powerful device.”

Water-resistant and weighing only 25g, the Edge 20 and Edge 25’s extremely durable and small design is ideal for travel, training and everyday riding. Their interfaces make it easy to start, save and share activities and both are GPS and GLONASS-enabled, acquiring satellites quickly to track how far, fast and where a user is riding. Both devices feature up to eight hours of battery life. Additionally, the Edge 25 is ANT+ compatible and can be paired with a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor and speed sensor for additional data.

When paired with a compatible Bluetooth device the Edge 25 can instantly upload activities to Garmin Connect for post-ride analysis, instant sharing on social media, and with the Live Tracking feature users can allow family and friends to follow their rides in real time. In Garmin Connect users can also download courses and follow them on the device, receiving turn indications throughout a ride, and compete against other cyclists on previously ridden courses. Edge 20 users can upload to Garmin Connect and download courses and segments via a PC or Mac.

If they sell this unit under R2.5k I don't think they will be able to bring enough in...

The more I read about this, the more I want one.

 

Looking at the Edge 200 price, the 25 may well fit into the 2500 mark bundled.

 

I emailed garmin to find out when we can expect these units to be available.

Really great value offering! Love the look of the 25.

 

Wonder how many 500 sales are going to be cannibalized?

I think the 20 will cannibalize the 500 while the 25 will cannibalize the 510. The 25 and the Fenix 3 are both in my wish list.

Remember the 20 does not have heart rate and cadence so will not compete with the 500. The 25 will have heart rate and cadence, which will compete with the 500/510. The 25 just loses out to the 500/510 as does not have the ability to link the power meters.

 

I know from personal experience a lot of people splashed out on the 500 as they wanted heart rate and GPS. Now, they will rather go for the 25.

6 - 8 weeks to reach our shores, no indication of pricing.

I like the look of it, nice and compact, don't really need HR as i never use it on my 800 nor cadence as I only have 2 cadence speeds, very slow for hill climbs and slightly faster for down hills.
