Battery life has shrunk to 12 hours, but that should be more than enough for the majority of riders.
Syncing between the best cycling apps, such as Strava and Komoot, has been greatly improved with Garmin opening up its API. There is still no base mapping on the 130, so you’re limited to breadcrumb mapping, but the screen resolution is sharp. ClimbPro shows the profile of a climb from a pre-loaded route. The Garmin Edge 130 Plus has an accelerometer that allows the device to include mountain biking metrics and incident detection.
Best for: Riders who want a simple GPS with plenty of features, including mountain bike metrics.The diminutive Edge 130 Plus still graces WorldTour handlebars.
