Description
Edge 1040 Solar – the longest-lasting Edge
The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar is built for riders who never want to think about charging. Its Power Glass solar lens tops up the battery as you ride, so you get up to 45 hours of demanding use and up to 100 hours in battery saver mode.
Also, it has a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, multi-band GNSS for accuracy under trees and between tall buildings, and the full Garmin training suite. As a result, it is a favourite for audax, bikepacking and multi-day tours.

Who is the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar for?
It suits ultra-distance riders, tourers and anyone who forgets to charge. Yet if a brighter screen matters more than battery, look at the newer Edge 1050. Also, the included silicone case protects it on rough gravel.
What’s in the box
Edge 1040 Solar GPS bike computer, black silicone case, mounts (MTB, standard and out-front), USB cable, tether and documentation.
Good to know
Solar charging works best on long daytime rides in clear weather. Even so, you still charge it by USB-C between big trips. Also, the included silicone case adds grip and protection on rough roads. So it is ready for the next brevet straight out of the box.
