Just as bikes, apparel, and accessories are becoming more and more cycling discipline-specific, bike computers are not immune.

As with the Edge 530, the Edge 830 displays metrics encompassing everything from charting fitness levels to power output and targeted recovery. It also features Strava Live Segments, which means you can now track segments in real time out on the road.

The days of getting home and excitedly loading files only to be crushed by the dreaded second place badge next to a coveted segment because you misjudged the endpoint by a handful of meters are over.And for all of the mountain bike data nerds ou...
