New subscriber here from Texas USA. Just ordered 1040 non solar based on this video. Had 520 Plus but sold it 2 years ago due to cataract surgery. Got some Tifosi cycling readers and I’m back in business. Can’t wait to try out unit! Awesome channel Sir!

Informative and extremely useful/helpful as always ✊🏾👊🏾👌🏾

@technocynic Рік тому

Been waiting for something like this. Great to see the review. My cracked 530 screen is held together with a screen protector. I guessed upgrades couldn't be too far away so thought I'd wait till Aussie spring. Moving to a bigger screen is certainly an option for my aging eyes although price might drive me to 540 or 840 if they come out by then

@TrickyTree84 Рік тому

Thanks Shane. I really wanted the solar but no stock. Your video is making me feel a bit better about that. Realistically in the UK I can only see it adding a few minutes, and I store mine in a dark dark garage.

Agreed, sometimes it's just too much. I specifically leave battery saver mode on so I'm not tempted to glance at the screen for entertainments sake, 'I'm out here to look around and breath'. I like bold simple to read values at a glance and the rest can wait until I get home.

This new interface hurts my OCD: They have removed the lines on the main menu, but the sub menu still has lines.... Do like that last course added feature on the homescreen though.

@sprice0609 Рік тому

Another great video @gplama. My micro USB snapped inside my 1030 unit and it seemed timely to upgrade to the 1040 (non solar). I just couldn’t justify the extra $300 AUD. There’s only 1 guys I know who would benefit from the additional battery life (one drslane with his crazy 500km rides😂). I’ve definitely noticed the greater speed and feel of the touch screen. As a side note, any members of Engineers Australia can get 20% off Garmin. It came in handy for me 😁

@Jarek. Рік тому

Thank you for a very clear opinion "is it worth to upgrade?" 👍 I'm on 1030 and sometimes a bit annoyed by how slow the unit is, especially when riding with Varia radar. Most likely I'm going to spoil myself and buy one... I'm only hoping that global supply shortage will not affect availability ... Thanks!

@leocmen Рік тому

Power guide is actually a very cool feature. It is not for racing against others... neither to race in a peloton. That is very useful for simulation indoor, TT, and sole rides...

@ralfmimoun2826 Рік тому

This week I have learned to hate my Edge 1030 Plus. Garmin can meet me in a dark place.

@5mattcolour Рік тому

The pacing seems like a great idea if you’re doing a new route solo. Far too many times I’ve either blown up as I went out too hard on unfamiliar routes, or rolled home with more left in the tank as I saved too much for the tail end of the ride, before finding out it was downhill.

@mrwezbo Рік тому

It sounds perfect in theory for me, as I do a lot of riding solo, which is predominantly training. So intead of 'go and do this hilly route' I can plug in a 8/10 difficulty and really push myself where I might not had previously. Useless if you're riding in a group or a race obviously.

@DerekGreen123 Рік тому

Great video as always Shane, thanks 👍😊 About what I expected from Garmin these days... a 'steady as she goes' update, rather than any big upgrades. Mostly seems to be 'nice to haves' so no rush to upgrade from my 530 than I've been super happy with (although would very much appreciate better climb granularity!) Any plans on doing videos about your home solar install / operation?

@ScottyDoesStuff Рік тому

The climb granularity is actually a misnomer. They provided a better looking graphic. But the Edge 1040 averages the % Grade over a very long period. It's not accurate for where you are on the hill or how much elevation you've actually covered because of that. Elevation is typically off by around 10% on every ride I've done with not one, but two Edge 1040 Solar units.

@Crymerge Рік тому

After seeing this, I can't wait for the 840.

@andrewcollie Рік тому

When to upgrade is always a tricky question - while I think about it, I'll continue using my 2009 Garmin 705 Edge :)

@aerobrain2001 Рік тому

For me the power plan feature is an excellent addition!! (Assuming it is reasonable reliable) For TT and Triathlon rides I always used to use Best Bike Split but obviously that required a separate platform and a subscription.

@xviesulisx Рік тому

@Kzuke Рік тому

Thanks for the comprehensive review and comparison with the 1030+. The battery performance of my 520+ is seriously degraded now after 5 years and barely lasts a 60 mile ride with a Varia connected. I'm looking at the 1030+ and the newest 1040 for a replacement with much longer battery life so I can have everything connected and all features turned on without worrying if the GPS will run out of battery on century rides.

I've been a Wahoo user for the last four years but I'm seriously considering going with the Garmin 1040 Solar. I was waiting on Wahoo to upgrade the Elemnt Roam but Wahoo seems to be staying with the dated unit. Excellent review.

@hojer104 7 місяців тому

Just grabbed a 1040 non-solar. Upgraded from a 520 and I love it. With such a long battery life, I didn’t think the added 20 minutes of solar charge would make a big practical difference. Rarely, if ever, will I have to go 35 hours of riding between charges. So those extra minutes felt a bit superfluous.

@kestralrider313 Рік тому

Great comparison. I was hoping to see if they had increased the maximum segments stored in memory? One of the fixes I was hoping to see improved on my 1030 is the 100 stored segment limit. I easily have 100+ favorite segments in my local SF Bay Area metro area with a need for more for my favorite travel destinations. Does anyone else have a need for 100s of segments stored in their edge? Does anyone know if 1040 has increased this? The Garmin site isn't clear on segment storage, but it does spec a 100 max on saved routes, so I'm worried the segment max is the same.

This is the device you buy if you've di2 over the Karoo2 lol - I've always thought garmin have the cycling computer covered over Hammerhead in all honesty.. thorough etc.. Bit expensive this I've always thought too. The solar ideaolgy is a good idea too!

@StevenMolina Рік тому

Looks nice and everything but in most of handlebars (specially integrated stem-handlebar combo) you have little space to accomodate that huge device. Probably if someone is a heavy user of navigation features the big screen is great but if just _like me_ uses the unit for recording data and post workout analysis is an unnecessary device. Even is you look into the world tour peloton, a lot of cyclist uses the 830 series because it's easier to put your fingers and mark the laps and stop in the end of stages ( and probably weight saving). The video good as always, thanks!

@TheBarts27 Рік тому

I have the 1030+ since it came out and it seems that the 1040 is not worth upgrading. I think that the 1040 is more evolution then revolution and that is a bit of a bummer imho. The unit looks the same as the 1030+ and is quite thick and the bezels are still huge. It would have been great if the starting point of a new edge device would be a small smart phone and try to take it from there and make it usable for a bike computer. I like the back of the device with the metal mount. I also like the usb type C port. For the money I don't know. Maybe I will buy it one day but not any time soon, I think.

@joshuanicholson420 Рік тому

Nice looking device, and I am in the market for a new head unit. Definitely an upgrade on what I had, but not sure I am up for the price tag. Hoping for some of these new features like the climb data on say a new 500 series. Love the idea of solar too, Fenix 7x during summer solar definitely reduces battery anxiety. Thanks Lama, really hoping now there is a new 500/800 in the pipeline reckon I can hold out a couple of months before committing.

@Dexxyh Рік тому

Looking at power guide, I wonder if they're planning to make this dynamic, based on stamina / reserve. In theory level 9 or 10 could mean empty at the end of the ride and the level determines how much you are willing to invest into the ride.

@deanwaller1029 Рік тому

Good to know that there's nothing that special to upgrade from the 1030+ that I've got. The extra battery life would be nice but I've done 16h all day-rides and still had a little left. I'll hold out until we get a 1050 that has LTE.

@lechprotean Рік тому

for those who simply need extra battery life, there's also the option of the external battery pack, which is quite a bit cheaper than a full upgrade to 1040 solar...

I would love to see if Climb pro has improved when it comes to accuracy, this weekend I did Rhön Radmarathon in Germany, 256 km with ~4800 meters of climbing, in the beginning ClimbPro worked OK, but as I got longer into the race, it stated slipping, at the last climb I was more than 700 meters into the climb when my Edge 830 had it to start, as I also own a Karoo 2, I was just thinking, come on Garmin, how hard can it be. ClimbPro is more or less useless here in Denmark, where I live, as most hills are shorter than 700 meters. Would love to see you do a long ride test of ClimbPro with the 1040.

Looking at the redesigned UI, it seems to be more designed for use with a touch screen. I wonder if this could mean the 540 will get a touch screen, whether the 540 en 840 will merge. Two more options, the 540 gets a different buttoon layout to the 530 or the 540 will get a different menu (wouldn't go that route garmin).

thanks for the super review - I have one question about the device. On a normal commute ride I used both the fenix 6 pro and the 1040 to track my ride and when done both devices gave me a dfference altimeter reading. 165 on the 1040 and 125 on the fenix - that's a serious difference between the 2. Any idea what can explain this difference and which one is the correct indication?

Altimeter data is more interpretive dance than science. The truth might be somewhere in the middle of both.

@@gplama Thxs for the super quick reply - very happy with the 1040 - bought it after seeing yours and DC's reviews. I'm an old dude so the size of the screen was one of the resons also for buying it ( I need BIG numbers in front of me :-) came from the 830. Thxs again for all the great content you create!
