A couple of weeks ago, we broke the news that the Garmin Enduro was coming, thanks to a little help from a brief leak on Garmin’s official Amazon page. Now it’s launched. We even got the date right. Which mainly means that the leak was right, but hey, we did a great job copy and pasting that info right? This is what it looks like.

Note: We’ll update this article whenever new information becomes available. It was published on February 12, 2021 and updated on May 27, 2022. Garmin keeps its new product launches close to its chest. There’s often no confirmation that a new product exists until the day it launches, though the company does have form for ‘accidental’ leaks in the run-up to major product launches. But with a little research, we can extrapolate some answers, even before the inevitable pre-release leaks begin… When Will the Garmin Edge 530 Plus Be Available to Purchase? April 2021. That’s our educated guess, based on Garmin’s…

Update: It launched on February 16, and all details below were correct. Please allow us to be the first to reveal… the Garmin Enduro. It’s an “Ultra Performance Multisport GPS Watch,” with an outrageous battery life. True to form, Garmin “accidentally” revealed the Enduro briefly through an official Amazon listing. Recall that Garmin prematurely updated their site with the upcoming Edge 1030+ device last year. These leaks are getting so common that we might start to think it’s a marketing strategy were it not for the fact that the only people who discuss them are a handful of Twitter nerds.…

The DXF lock from Hiplok pairs their award-winning DX U-lock with the unique new speed-loading frame bracket for carrying your lock on your bike. This new rattle-free, reliable and sturdy mount uses their patented “CLIP+RIDE” system to attach the lock to the bracket for a steady hold in transit. The bracket bolts directly to the bottle holder mounts found on most bike frames, a massive improvement on existing U-lock brackets which can be difficult to position and prone to loosening, and noisy while riding.
