This is actually the Edge 1040. You might want to update your deal title. Good price.

Thanks and fixed, I was originally looking for deals on the 840 so still had that on my mind.

In all honesty, an ok deal. I got mine also at $450 a year ago. Nobody ever buys this older model at full price. 1040 has a bigger screen than 840. I love my 1040, no complaints

Has anyone used or tried this for mountain biking? Their old versions were not very good at following you on off road trails.

I use an 840, which should have the same (more or less) features / sensors / software, and it's the best bike computer I've used (Bolt v2, Karoo 2, Karoo 3, Edge 830, Roam 3, many watches) for following off-road trails. In my experience it has the best maps, has elevation / topo overlays, and trailforks maps built right in so you even get trail names on the maps in most MTB networks that I've tried around me.

As long as you turn off all annoying beepy features - or it will CONSTANTLY be beeping at you flashing that you're "off course" if you're riding a trail that branched from or runs parallel to a Strava segment or similar that you happen to have starred months ago, even if you've made it very clear you're not interested in riding it at this particular moment.

That said, I'm still looking to switch to something else because *my* 840, at least seems to be buggy and is just driving me nuts. So YMMV. If your primary use case is mountain biking, I'd personally look at the new Edge MTB or something like the 840 over this - the bigger form factor just seems like more liability than benefit for MTB and both would be cheaper than this, but that's all personal / tradeoffs.

I use the slightly older Edge 830 mountain biking in the woods, and it does fine with tracking. There's very minor variability between successive passes of the same trail, but nothing like the discrepancies I saw when I was using my phone with Strava.

This, but I'm partial to Garmin and like to stay in the same ecosystem for everything.

The OP link is showing $599. I guess this deal is dead.
