Garmin Edge 540 Solar GPS Cycling Computer

Packed with advanced features, the Garmin Edge 540 Solar GPS cycling computer is designed to enhance every ride and training session. Suitable for riders of all abilities, it combines powerful performance insights with reliable navigation and intuitive button controls that work in all conditions.

The Edge 540 Solar features Power Glass™ solar charging, extending battery life beyond the already impressive standard performance. Expect up to 26 hours in demanding modes or 32 hours in battery saver mode, with solar charging extending this to 42 hours and up to 60 hours respectively in direct sunlight.

When paired with compatible sensors such as a power meter or heart rate monitor, the Edge 540 Solar unlocks advanced training features including daily suggested workouts, personalised coaching, and training insights based on your training load, recovery and upcoming events. The Power Guide feature recommends power targets throughout a course to help manage effort efficiently and avoid fatigue, while Stamina insights help you understand how long you can sustain an effort.

On the road or trail, multi-band GNSS technology delivers precise positioning and navigation. Riders can follow pre-planned routes, create courses through the Garmin Connect™ app, or navigate back home when exploring new terrain. Turn-by-turn navigation and ride-specific maps make it easy to stay on track while discovering popular roads and trails.

The ClimbPro ascent planner provides valuable climbing insights by showing remaining ascent and gradient so you can pace efforts effectively. This feature now works on every ride, even when a route is not loaded.

Setup is quick and simple, with courses, tools and ride data easy to access directly on the device or via a paired smartphone. The Edge 540 Solar also integrates with popular training platforms including Strava, Komoot and TrainingPeaks® through the Garmin Connect app.
