Edge training

Edge 520

You need a motivation to complete the last few kilometres on the reels during your indoor workout? 520 edge offers this innovative function when associated with ANT + Protocol rollers. For example, if you want to train with an average power of 240 Watts, simply set the goal to Edge 520, start cycling and the rollers adjust automatically based on your goal. You can also follow a path created by another cyclist and download it from Garmin Connect, competing against virtually the athlete with which you want to compare, because the rollers adjust pedaling strength according to the slope and elevation profile of the downloaded location.

Associated with a power sensor, Edge 520 will offer you another series of functions, such as FTP detection threshold power and Watts/kg, and the dynamics of cycling ². A threshold test of power built into the tool will help you establish your reference data to be kept during your workout on reels or on the road. The heart rate monitor and 520 ³ will calculate the estimate of your VO2 max and the recovery time, which indicates how much time must pass before you can face another challenging effort.
