Great for MTB for GPS bike computer

This is my first bike computer with GPS. The small size is perfect. Attaches very securely to my 35mm handlebars. I use the handlebar mount that came with it. No movements and hits when driving on a track. The display is very easy to read with the various display settings available. When used with the Garmin Connect app, you'll get a wealth of stats about the ride you've just completed. Color Maps, a color map of what you just rode, not just the routes, but what you actually rode. It will show you multiple laps, fast sections, slow sections, climbs, etc. The app is loaded with content for many activities like hiking, biking, etc. I'm definitely having a lot of fun with it. Finally, I no longer know how many kilometers I will drive. Battery life seems ok. From a fully charged battery I did 4 rides for about 7 hours and the battery was at 41%. This also includes the use of a speed sensor. I got the speed sensor because I heard it improves speed and mileage accuracy. I have not used the Garmin 130 plus without it. All in all I've always wanted a bike computer with GPS but they were very expensive. This device and buying a speed sensor still didn't come cheap, but I felt they offered a lot of value for the price.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
