Amazing 38% off Garmin Edge 530 GPS computer at Chain Reaction Cycles
The popular benchmark cycle computer is going for a song
If you've been in the market for one of Garmin's new Edge GPS units, there has never been a better time to pick one up than this weekend. We've been keeping a close eye on all the best deals as we approach Cyber Monday, and have come up with this absolute stonker on the Garmin Edge 530 – nearly 40% off.
This is a truly great deal on what has become one of the US GPS giant's most popular cycling computers – the perfect blend of function, form and affordability. The Chain Reaction Cycles Black Friday price of £159.99 makes it a whole £10 cheaper than the RRP for Garmin's bottom-rung Edge 130 Plus – though Amazon UK currently has that for £114.99 in what is an incredible deal.
Unsurprisingly, CRC also has a great deal on the Garmin Edge 830 GPS – the bigger brother of the 530. It's reduced from £349.99 to £249.99 – a 29% drop and again, a great price and a great buy in our book.
Of course, there's a lot of choice in the GPS arena for cyclists, which can buying one a daunting decision.

With the first 500 and the 800 series Garmins having launched more than 10 years ago now, it's fair to say that they have become mainstays for many riders and have been finely honed into their latest iterations. But if you're not familiar, the standout difference between the two is that the 800 series features a touchscreen, while the 500 is button operated. But having been carefully refined over the years both are highly regarded.
