Edge 540 SOLAR GPS Cycling Computer - Black - w/Code

The non solar is 20 quid less but I'd say the solar on this is worth it if you are really into your cycling and your bike computer gets to see a good deal of light as the better weather approaches.


Introduce the rider you are today to the one you’ll be tomorrow.
The Edge® 540 Solar cycling computer offers targeted adaptive coaching when used with your compatible power meter and heart rate monitor. It helps you manage your efforts by providing personal power targets throughout a course plus stamina insights, so you know how much gas is left in the tank. Ride longer with solar charging, and get superior positional accuracy under dense tree cover or the urban canyon, thanks to multi-band GNSS technology. It features button controls that work in any conditions.
