Was really close to pulling the plug and buying the 130 plus. Glad I found y’all’s video, 530 it is! Appreciate it!

Thanks for the video, I was just looking for information about these last week!

Love my 530 with the MTB mount and remote control 👊

Just saved 15% on a new dropper post and remote. Very nice. Thanks!

fantastic review! thank you!!!

Recently I started using my Garmin 1030 to follow routes and tracks from trailforks. It's very powerful and as you guys indicated, very convenient to have all the information on your GPS in front of your face while you ride. I've done this for years on motorcycles with a Garmin having a route in front of me. It's absolutely necessary to save a lot of time when you're riding in places that you're not familiar with. Lots of time gets wasted when pulling maps in and out of your backpack to navigate. The only downside is that if you don't have your own route, then you're just following other people's routes, nevertheless that still saves you a lot of time if you're traveling.

I've used a 510 for a number of years and like it. It came in handy when I did Macky's Everesting challenge in July. I was surprised at the additional features in the 530 but I don't use all of the features of the 510 so I won't be moving up to the 530 until my 510 craps out.

Great vid thanks 🙏

I got a free 830 from a casino comp a few weeks ago. Can’t wait for it to come in the mail.

I have an older Edge 200 and I love it. I broke my first when when I went OTB and knocked it off the mount with my knee. It landed face down on a rock. I hesitate to buy anything more expensive.

That is a sweet Garmin. Great review.

Great review of the product :D i was wondering if its better to get just the device or its worth it to get the mtb bundle? Thanks

My 530 suddenly stopped pairing/syncing with garmin connect app. Great when it worked but major $ hassle now. Top mtb channel guys!

Garmin Vaira tail light/radar unit is a game changer for road riding. Tells you when cars are behind you. Also pair it up with a heart rate monitor. I put my HR %MAX on my main screen for MTB and use it as my "RPM Gauge" so I know when to push hard and when I am blowing up. Turn by turn directions on the road are a game changer too as now I make new fun routes and don't worry about getting lost.

Great breakdown although a few things I am not sure how to set up and you did not get into. For instance is climb breakdown actually Climb Pro? If so you need the route loaded in already in order for it to work.....is there any way to see the same climb breakdown without the route loaded in already (if I am on a new ride and don't have the route loaded in but want to use this feature is it possible?).

If I traveled and rode new trails as much as y'all, then I would definitely invest in one. Local riding, I just use my ancient TomTom gps watch and upload to apps. Great breakdown of the unit, thanks!

Are you able to use trail forks and log a ride at the same time? DO you have to pre load a ride or can you just use trail forks as you would use the app on a phone?

This looks awesome! I ride motorcycles as well as mountain bikes. Since this has a GPS for regular streets, is there any reason why I couldn't use the GPS function while riding my motorcycle? Thanks.

Interesting mite have too invest in one of these. I have noticet Trailforks not free no more it only does the local area you’re in as iam Australian..... ?? Does this Garmin tell you all the trails ,,

I have the edge 520 and love it, I see some better features on the 530 but not enough to make me go for it until mine is dead. I totally agree with you about the 830, touchscreens are not for MTB, using a cellphone is hard enough with gloves, sweat and dirt. Quick question, has anyone found a way to avoid it switching screens when approaching to a featured trail? mine changes to the virtual partner screen as soon as I approach a starred trail, I just can’t figure that one out.

Thank you. You lead off describing a key navigation feature that I have been researching, and made it really really easy to understand, yet technically accurate. However, your Competitive Cyclist promo code doesn't apply to the device being recommended. CC should have stepped up on that one.

Mountain biker here mainly trail rider I use trailforks mounted on my handle bars Have a heart rate monitor on my watch what will I really get out of this that I’m not getting out of my phone I’m interested in the garmin just not sure if it’s worth the cost Any opinions ?

Can you stream real-time data to monitor?

Is it possible to navigate to the start of a trailforks trail with the 530?

Your excitement and happiness over a garmin makes me release just how depressed and miserable I am.

The promo code does not work on the Edge 530???

Can you load Strava Routes on these computers?

It is unbelievable to me that Wahoo can't figure out how to get this kind of trailforks integration built in to their units...

How sad the discount code doesn't even apply to the product of the video :(

Does it have a setting for ebike based metrics? Like how would grit apply to an ebike ride?

FYI I'm on my 3rd edge 830 due to shattering the screens (similar used in the 530). I've had good luck dealing with Gamins customer service, but replacements are about $150 out of warrantee ... Garmin please make your screens/devices more durable, the trusty old Edge 800/810s were tanks in comparison!

In. e bike mode there are no MTB metrics - :(

Only watched this in it's entirety because his hair reminded me of Tinker Juarez. Bought a 530 by the end.

Great video but I’d switch your comparison. Wahoo is way more like Apple and vice versa. The user interface and “just work” feel make the Wahoo feel more like an apple product to me.

What about the 830? Isn t it harder to use the buttons on the 530?

Buy the Wahoo Element Roam!

I am an 'Android People' with a Wahoo! However I must admit that it is cool to see young people supporting products designed for the elderly : ) Mostly pure sarcasm, Wahoo and Garmin units are great, Apple is, well, Apple.

Samsung all day but I understand your point...I just picked up one for my E-Bike

Is it compatible with strava and why would choose a computer over a watch.

Can this connect with Strava??

Show!

It’s nice. But budget willl not permit.

What info does Garim provide that I can't get from Trailforks?

Did you get the mtb edition

Damn code isn't valid anymore :( Looking at 530 reviews

the discount code excludes this Garmin. pretty unfortunate. i like the video though.

10:17 thank you 😊 that's how I decided to stay away from the garmin 530. Wahoo it is

You might want to add that your discount code doesn't work on garmin. Seems like you'd want to mention that since that's what you're promoting in this video.

Dangit! Already bought the 830 before seeing this video ... missed out on that 15% 😝

Wow, you guys had me sold on the Garmin until you dissed Android users at the end.

I think you guys are great but getting rid of electronic devices, even a simple bike computer was one of the best moves I've ever made in cycling. I ride to have fun, only!

I just can’t bear to watch this.

He just roasted the android users 😂 i get 40% off garmin products so I’m going all out and getting the 830 with a heart monitor 😎

Pls fix the camera angle. 😩

Now I know you have never used a Google Pixel

My android device is amazing. Period. Apple is good too. But why the hate. Dislike from me.

You guys are making commercials now?

Koers op Garmin 530

If Garmin is Apple I think I'll give it a miss.

Strange to compare Garmin to Apple instead of Android because Garmins have more functionality with Android like replying to messages from your device. As a mountain biker is exchanged my 530 for an 830 a month ago for 2 reasons. 1) if/when you deviate from your route it's much easier to scroll through the map using a touchscreen than buttons and 2) I had problems clicking both buttons on the left and right side of the unit at the same time when I only wanted to click one or the other. This because I had to hold the unit with my thumb while pressing with my index finger to avoid the unit from twisting on the mount.

Are you guys in fruita? I'm sure I saw you in a coffee shop at like 7 am a week or so ago. Lol

Reason #1, They’re paying us lol

Apple Crap I used to like you!!! LOL

Android peep here 🤬

He really said "Apple" has more 3rd party compatibility. That tells me they've never used any OnePlus, Google or Samsung phones. Probably thinks a "droid" is a phone.

Insulting the superior android platform isn't a great way to retain viewers...

Something different, but kind of the same..... lol ; p

Come down guy's...You're reviewing a bike GPS, not selling the newest best cars to stupids. Stop that overacting and overgesturing
