Garmin Launch Edge 530 and Edge 830

[Furbz]

Picking up a 530 unit only in the states in Sept.

rough costs = R4100 or USD264

[Chasing_single_track]

I managed to get my hands on a 530 in the US about a month ago. 

Loving the unit. 5/7 would recommend.

 

Navigation is great even without the SA maps loaded yet. 

Picks up satellite significantly faster than my forerunner 235 does. 

 

If you like looking at data and stats like i do then the 'new' performance features should make you smile. 

 

Jump feature on MTB mode seem to be very sensitive as it picks up the front wheel movement, ie wheels, nose pops etc are seen as a jump. 

Yet to get the full benefit of grit/flow as this seems to be mostly tuned to DH / enduro runs more than JHB riding. 

 

I am no tech guru but this has been one of the better bike purchases in 2019 for me.

Thanks Easybike.

Received mine in Pretoria this morning.

 

Looks like a pretty cool devise.  Screen is top notch and very reactive on the touch screen part. 

 

Will play around with it later this afternoon setting up the sensors at home etc.

Anyone know where I can get a silicon protective cover for a 530?

Only finding for 520s locally.

(Or any suggestions who to use to get one from overseas?)

Amazing the variance in pricing - Easibike want R7999, Cyclelab R7499 and Sportsman warehouse R6999 (for the 530 bundle). What really surprises me is that Easibike are the most expensive, where generally they are well priced, whiles Sportsmans warehouse, are the cheapest and they normally are not cheap. If you are on Discovery Vitality (and have jumped through all their hoops), then it is a no brainer to go the sportsmans route.

 

Amazing how long it has taken though, for these product to get to SA. Launched in Late April only available here late September!

You can probably thank ICASA for the delay, getting this type of equipment approved to sell in ZA is like looking for hens teeth.

 

The differences in price is a good thing, it shows a free market economy working and indicates no or very little price fixing.
