Get the Data You Need During your ride, Edge 500 measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb & descent, & records this data for your review. For extra-precise climb & descent data, Edge 500 also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation. All Edge 500 versions work with third-party ANT+-enabled power meters to display your power output in watts as you ride. This valuable data shows you how hard youre working, regardless of conditions affecting your ride, so you can train smarter.
