If you’re a cyclist in Durban or anywhere in KwaZulu-Natal, chances are you’ve heard of — or already own — a Garmin device. From serious roadies to weekend mountain bikers, Garmin cycling GPS units have become the gold standard for navigation, tracking, and training. But what makes Garmin the best in South Africa? Here’s why Hattons Umhlanga recommends Garmin for every rider.
1. Reliable Navigation Wherever You Ride
Garmin Edge GPS devices offer detailed mapping, turn-by-turn directions, and re-routing — all perfect for navigating KZN’s diverse cycling routes.
Whether you’re riding through Umhlanga’s beachfront, Durban’s urban streets, or heading off-road in Giba Gorge or Karkloof, Garmin ensures you stay on course — and safe.
2. Accurate Performance Tracking
Want to improve your training? Garmin is trusted by professionals for a reason.
Their devices track:
Power and cadence
Heart rate (when paired)
Elevation and gradient
VO2 max & recovery metrics
If you’re training for a race, tour, or just personal goals, Garmin gives you the data to ride smarter.
3. Excellent Integration with Accessories
Garmin cycling computers sync seamlessly with:
Smart lights (like Garmin Varia radar)
Heart rate monitors
Power meters
Smart trainers (like Tacx, also owned by Garmin)
This flexibility makes Garmin the centre of your cycling tech ecosystem.
4. Durable and Built for South African Weather
South Africa’s heat, humidity, and sudden rains can ruin tech. Garmin’s devices are:
Water-resistant
Dust-proof
Long-lasting, even in our harsh KZN conditions
They’re ideal for Durban’s tropical summer rides and winter chills.
5. Unmatched Support & Updates
Unlike lesser-known brands, Garmin offers frequent software updates to enhance features and fix bugs. With local support available, you’re never stuck with a faulty device.
Better yet — at Hattons Umhlanga, we assist with Garmin setup, syncing, and troubleshooting.

Garmin Edge 130 Plus – Small, affordable, perfect for casual riders
