Climbing or Descending?

SamIveson — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:56:39 GMT

I've recently started using my Edge MTB and one thing I find frustrating is getting to grips with the climb or descend modes. On the surface it seems quite simple but often I'm not sure which mode I'm in. Is there a way to work this out without hitting the lap key?

It would be ace if there was a little border similar to the 5Hz one when in one of the modes. The 5Hz doesn't hang around long enough to be useful for this. Quite often especially on group rides where there's a bit going on I forget to hit the lap button then end up out of sync. A little border or even an optional data field would be a handy little prompt to remind me to put it into the appropriate mode.

Yes, it's paired to my phone. It hasn't updated automatically. Whilst connected on the device I've tried Settings>System>About>Check for Updates. It will start downloading something then after a few seconds state "Transfer Failed" and return to the About page. I've tried this on the mobile app as well although I get "This setting is only available on your Edge MTB".

I also tried resetting it by clearing all data and settings then re-enrolling in the Beta program but no joy.

Is it paired to a phone. I thought the beta request would work via GCM.

Thanks, I was using a custom profile which didn't have the Enduro MTB page enabled - found it now and it looks as though it'll do what I'm wanting. I'll test it tomorrow.

I'm having some issues with installing the Beta software though. I've enrolled in the Beta programme but as the device doesn't have wifi I can't install using the suggested route. I've tried searching for updates on the device but it ends up at "failed to transfer". I've tried Garmin Express also but that won't find the latest Beta update. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

The page is called Enduro MTB.

The full width data field switches between ascent/descent based on the mode the unit is in.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm in Enduro mode but im not sure what you mean about the enduro mode page - it's not something I've come across in use.

Thanks for the suggestion of the beta release I'll take a look!

RE: Climbing or Descending?

I'm presuming you are talking about using the Enduro mode.

The Enduro mode page shows if you are in climbing or descending mode.

You could also take a look at the 32.08 beta release that has added an auto detect feature for Enduro so that you no longer need to use the lap button to switch between modes.

Elevation data gaps on device, connect shows 0ft

f1xedgear — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 23:51:49 GMT

I recorded an eMTB ride and 0ft of elevation was recorded in Connect for the entire ride:

My edge did record elevation data but it has gaps where elevation drops to 0ft for a while, then back to the real elevation for a while, and so on several times for the whole ride. In the exported FIT file data the elevation changes from 0ft to "none" exactly every 5 minutes exactly.

Edge is running 31.31

Edge suggests switching to eBike profile when I'm already in eMountain profile when my ebike connects

f1xedgear — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:29:46 GMT

This is with a bosch smart system ebike. Asking to switch to a different ebike profile is not useful in this context. I don't even have "eBike" profile in my pinned list.

It WOULD however be useful if I had regular "Mountain Bike" profile started while riding my eMTB and the Edge detects the bike when it connects.

Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

Jimmykane — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 14:57:53 GMT

I bought the device for downhill MTB.

The device on the downhill profile records ascent and even proposes the ascent of the shuttles as a personal records.

Same happens to app.

Is this a joke ?

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

4953665 — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:58:45 GMT

As written earlier it is on 31.30.

Is there a way to change it back to 30.18, if in this version it worked? Obviously Garmin messed it up again with 31.30...

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

aweatherall — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 14:46:32 GMT

Make sure your device is on 30.18 or higher as the fix for downhill ascent went in to 30.18

Change log for 30.18:

Implemented provisional finish point.
Fixed Auto-Zoom while following a course
Fixed issue giving ascent records during downhill MTB activities.

Great

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

4953665 — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:59:13 GMT

I'm already in contact with Garmin support regarding this and provided them with the file

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

aweatherall — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:02:09 GMT

Certainly does. Would you be will to share the activity file or a link to it in GC?

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

4953665 — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:32:19 GMT

Downhill MTB

Enduro MTB

Looks correct to me

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

aweatherall — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 12:20:19 GMT

If you go to the Downhill MTB and Enduro MTB profiles what does the Edge show for Ride Type.

RE: Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

4953665 — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 09:49:51 GMT

Same issue again on Sunday with Firmware 31.30. Within the details it looks good, but in the overview a wrong ascent is shown. Unfortunately this wrong ascent is also the one, which is getting pushed to Starva and other platforms.

Moreover, Downhill MTB and Enduro MTB profile are getting synced to Strava as cycling activities and not Mountainbike activities. I therefore have always to change the activity in Strava to get the correct bike displayed.

@Garmin This should all be an easy and quick fix. Please do the needful and implement the fix in the next version.

RE: Ucoming workout step targets

Luko79 — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 09:29:18 GMT

you can add a note to every steps in the workout, so add a note to the actual one that :"next step zone: xxx"

Ucoming workout step targets

mixchris — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 19:29:31 GMT

Hi,

How to see your upcoming workout step target (like Heart Rate zone) on a Garmin Edge MTB?

During my workout, I'd like to know what the next step is—for example, in which HR zone the next repetition will be. Unfortunately, I haven't found a field to enter that information.

Maybe there's something available at the IQ Store?

Had the same issue today... Should be fixed by Gamrin asap

RE: Run different timing gate sets during one activity

steflund — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:15:39 GMT

673emtb Just to clarify, Garmin does not manage the TF map release schedule. The release is a standard process after Garmin receives the map updates from them.

Sorry, I can't comment on any unreleased Edge MTB updates.

Run different timing gate sets during one activity

5106766 — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 18:08:51 GMT

I was just doing my first runs and testing the new timing gate function.
I really like it and it was one of the main reasons for me to get the edge mtb. But I might be stupid but I can only do one set of gates per activity?

So I was recording a E-MTB Activity on my after work tour.
This tour includes two trails. For each trail I setup a series of gates. While I am in my activity I started the timing for trail one and did some laps there which worked fine.
After that I wanted to do the same for trail two but this didn´t work. The edge told me I would have to start a new activity to start my other set of gates.

Is this the way it is intended?
