Vivid Touchscreen, Buttons and Hands-Free Voice Control

A built-in microphone supports hands-free voice commands, allowing you to interact with supported device functions without navigating through menus. When paired with a compatible smartphone and the Garmin Messenger app, you can also send text and voice messages.
An integrated speaker provides audible navigation prompts and alerts, while the built-in bike bell can be activated by double-tapping the screen. These features help keep essential information accessible while you’re riding.
Advanced Navigation and Bike-Specific Mapping
Whether you’re exploring unfamiliar roads, following gravel routes or navigating mountain bike trails, the Edge 1060 offers routing tailored to your chosen riding discipline. Preloaded mapping includes worldwide Trailforks mountain bike trail data, while Trendline Popularity Routing uses routes commonly ridden by Garmin cyclists to help identify suitable roads and trails.
Free Flow Routing can help find training routes with fewer stops and interruptions, while high-zoom road visibility makes smaller roads easier to identify. You can create courses directly on the touchscreen, view road surface information and sync routes from Garmin Connect or compatible services including Strava, Komoot and Ride with GPS.
Plan Your Route Before You Ride
The Course Preview feature provides information about a planned route before setting off, including distance, elevation, estimated ride time, surface types, traffic exposure and reported road hazards. Pin Drop Navigation also allows locations to be sent from Apple Maps for bike-specific routing.
During a ride, turn-by-turn directions help you follow your course, while the Up Ahead feature displays selected points of interest such as cafes, water fountains and public toilets, together with their distance from your current position. Back to Start navigation provides a convenient way to return when plans change.
Garmin Coach and Intelligent Training
Garmin Coach offers personalised cycling training plans designed around your goals, whether you’re preparing for an event, improving fitness or working towards a new milestone. Supported plans adapt to your training, recovery and course demands, with the option to incorporate strength workouts into your routine.
Daily Suggested Workouts provide recommendations based on fitness and training information, while Training Status helps assess whether your current training is productive. Cycling Ability and Course Demands compare your capabilities with the requirements of a planned route, helping identify areas to focus on before an event. Some advanced training features require a compatible heart rate monitor, power meter or both.
Power Guide, Real-Time Stamina and ClimbPro
Power Guide helps riders manage their effort using recommended power targets, with support for adjustments based on real-time stamina, altitude and wind information. Real-Time Stamina estimates how much effort you can sustain, helping you judge when to push harder and when to conserve energy.
ClimbPro displays information about upcoming and current climbs, including remaining ascent and gradient, allowing you to pace longer efforts more effectively. Nearby climbs can also be viewed on the map, making it easier to plan training sessions around specific ascents.
Advanced Cycling Dynamics and Performance Analysis
For riders using compatible sensors, the Edge 1060 supports advanced cycling dynamics and performance metrics that provide additional insight during and after a ride. Strava Live Segments allow you to follow supported segments in real time and compare your efforts against existing performances.
Nutrition and hydration alerts help remind you when to eat and drink, while Smart Fuelling provides more detailed guidance during supported workouts or Power Guide sessions using information such as fitness, course demands, heat and humidity. When paired with compatible electronic shifting, gear ratio analysis can show how much time you spend in different gears.
Mountain Bike, Enduro and Downhill Features
The Edge 1060 includes dedicated mountain bike features for riders who want to analyse their performance beyond speed and distance. Enduro and downhill ride profiles can track ascent and descent across individual runs, with automatic detection of climbing and descending sections.
Multi-band GPS with 5 Hz recording provides more detailed position tracking in supported enduro and downhill profiles, helping riders review their chosen lines. Timing Gates allow split times to be recorded at selected points along a course, while MTB Dynamics can track jump count, jump distance and hang time.
Garmin’s Grit metric evaluates trail difficulty, while Flow measures how smoothly you ride. ForkSight also provides information about trails ahead, including their names, distance and elevation, using supported mapping data.
GroupRide and Connected Cycling
Garmin GroupRide helps cyclists stay connected during organised rides, with supported features including group messaging, live rider locations, incident alerts and leaderboards. Riders can compare performance on climbs and view selected real-time information from others in the group.
Garmin Share makes it possible to exchange saved locations, courses and workouts with compatible devices over Bluetooth. Garmin Messenger adds communication options when used with a connected smartphone, while Garmin Connect brings together ride history, fitness information, routes and training progress.
Road Hazard Alerts and Cycling Safety Features
Road Hazard Alerts provide information about hazards reported by other cyclists, such as potholes and road closures, helping you anticipate potential problems along your route. Supported voice controls also allow riders to contribute hazard reports without navigating through menus.
The Edge 1060 supports incident detection and LiveTrack when connected to a compatible smartphone, allowing location information to be shared with designated contacts. Pairing with compatible Garmin Varia radar and lighting products adds rear-approaching vehicle awareness and lighting controls. A PIN-protected bike alarm can also notify your connected smartphone if movement is detected.
For adventures beyond mobile coverage, compatibility with supported Garmin inReach devices provides additional messaging and communication options, subject to the requirements of the connected device and service.
Weather, Connectivity and Everyday Convenience
When connected to a compatible smartphone and Garmin Connect, the Edge 1060 can display real-time weather information, including weather radar and wind direction overlays. Wi-Fi connectivity allows maps to be added, updated or changed directly through the device.
Additional connected features include smartphone notifications, music controls, Garmin Pay contactless payments with participating providers and downloadable data fields, apps and widgets through Connect IQ. The device can also connect to compatible smart trainers, supported eBike systems and electronic shifting components, allowing relevant information to be displayed alongside your riding data.
Long Battery Life and Reverse Charging
With up to 20 hours of battery life in demanding use and up to 60 hours in battery saver mode, the Garmin Edge 1060 is designed to support both regular training and longer cycling adventures. Actual battery life will vary according to settings, connected accessories and feature usage.
Reverse charging also allows the Edge 1060 to supply power to compatible devices, such as a smartphone or rear light, when needed. This provides an additional option for managing essential electronics during longer rides.
