Garmin Singapore is introducing the Edge 1060, a premium cycling computer that brings hands free voice control, enhanced navigation and advanced training features to cyclists. Available from 13 November 2026 at a suggested retail price of S$1,119, the new device is designed to help riders manage their performance, plan routes and stay connected without taking their hands off the handlebars.
The Edge 1060 features a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing cyclists to control selected functions through voice commands. By saying “Okay, Garmin”, riders can ask the device to report road hazards, navigate to nearby points of interest or provide performance information such as heart rate. The computer can respond by displaying relevant information, reading out ride statistics and suggesting routes.
With the Garmin Messenger app installed on the device and a connected smartphone, cyclists can also send voice messages to other Garmin Messenger users and listen to incoming messages through the integrated speaker. Navigation instructions and workout prompts can be played aloud, while a digital bike bell lets riders alert others to their approach.
The Edge 1060 also introduces several navigation improvements designed to help cyclists prepare for different routes, whether riding on roads, gravel or trails. Its Route Options feature presents alternative ways to reach a destination, allowing riders to compare routes based on factors such as travel time, elevation and bike type.
Before setting off, cyclists can use Route Previews to check details including distance, estimated riding time, traffic conditions and reported road hazards. The Up Ahead feature lets users select points of interest such as coffee shops, restrooms and petrol stations, then receive information about nearby locations along their route.
Road closure alerts provide additional information about closures reported by other Garmin cyclists, alongside hazards such as potholes, road obstructions and aggressive animals. Riders can also report hazards in real time using voice commands. For those focused on maintaining their pace during training, Free Flow Routing identifies routes with fewer stops, intersections and slowdowns.
Beyond navigation, the Edge 1060 offers performance insights to help cyclists monitor their effort and make informed training decisions. Features include real time stamina, Power Guide, cycling ability and course demands, supported by insights from the Garmin Human Performance Lab.
Cyclists can also create a personalised Garmin Cycling Coach training plan at no additional cost. The plan adapts to their performance, recovery and course requirements. Those using TrainingPeaks can have scheduled workouts synchronised automatically to the Edge 1060, making it easier to follow their training programme.
For a broader view of fitness and recovery, users with a compatible Garmin smartwatch or CIRQA Smart Band can access off the bike health and recovery statistics. Training plans can also include supplementary strength workouts.
GroupRide receives further enhancements on the new device. GroupRide detection can help cyclists join a nearby active session when their Edge identifies one. Participants can access in ride messaging, live locations, incident detection alerts and competitions with awards, subject to compatible devices and feature availability.
The workout screen has also been redesigned to be interactive, allowing riders to view upcoming workout steps and zoom in or out to see the complete session. Users can customise the home screen to prioritise the apps and widgets they need while riding.
Another practical addition is reverse charging, which allows the Edge 1060 to supply power to compatible devices, including a Varia headlight or taillight, a smartphone or other equipment, when extra charge is needed.
The cycling computer features a touchscreen display for viewing essential information, alongside physical buttons that provide an alternative way to operate the device in challenging weather conditions or while wearing gloves.
Garmin states that the Edge 1060 offers up to 20 hours of battery life under the most demanding usage conditions, increasing to up to 60 hours in battery saver mode.
The Garmin Edge 1060 will be available in Singapore from 13 November 2026 at a suggested retail price of S$1,119. It can be purchased at Garmin Brand Stores, Lazada, Shopee, the Garmin Online Store, Takashimaya and selected authorised retailers.
