Garmin · Cycling
The Garmin Edge® 1040 Solar (Device Only) is a GPS bike computer built for riders who want confident navigation, deeper training insight, and extended runtime for long days in the saddle. Designed for everything from remote gravel to demanding climbs, it pairs solar charging with a large, easy-to-read color touchscreen display.
Power Glass™ solar charging helps stretch time between charges, while multi-band GNSS improves positional accuracy in challenging environments. Training tools such as stamina insights, cycling ability and course demands analysis, and power targets help riders manage effort and track progress. Connectivity features add convenience on and off the bike, including smart notifications when paired with a compatible smartphone.
Battery
Edge® 1040 Solar uses a Power Glass solar charging lens to extend battery life for big mileage goals. Solar charging supports up to 45 hours of battery life in demanding use cases and up to 100 hours in battery saver mode, with additional gains during daytime rides to keep routes and data screens running longer.
Navigation
For rides through dense tree cover or city streets, multi-system, multi-band GNSS is designed to improve positional accuracy and coverage. That location confidence supports navigation features such as turn-by-turn directions, off-course recalculation, and on-device location search so riders can stay focused on the ride.
Safety
Safety and tracking features add peace of mind on solo rides and group days. Incident detection can send a message with location to preloaded emergency contacts if an incident is detected, and a PIN-protected bike alarm can notify a compatible smartphone if the bike is moved. GroupTrack and rider-to-rider messaging help keep tabs on the pack.
Training
Edge® 1040 Solar helps riders understand how fitness and route demands intersect. Cycling ability and course demands analysis classify strengths and highlight where to focus, while recommended power targets with Power Guide help manage efforts throughout a course. Tools like training status and dynamic performance monitoring add context with metrics such as VO2 max, recovery time, training load, and training load focus to support structured progress.
Navigation
Long rides can be managed more deliberately with real-time feedback. Stamina insights provide an at-a-glance view of how much is left in the tank while riding. ClimbPro™ Ascent Planner automatically shows remaining ascent and grade while following a route or course, helping riders pace efforts on long climbs and review saved climbs later on the device or in the Garmin Connect™ app.
Connectivity
Training and navigation are easier to keep current. Indoor and outdoor training plans can be pulled from the Garmin Connect™ smartphone app or synced from other apps, including the TrainingPeaks® app. Mapping supports the ability to add maps and a Wi-Fi® map manager, and ride type-specific maps help highlight popular roads and trails with searchable points of interest (POIs) for more informed route choices.
