While a GPS bike computer is definitely an excellent ride stats and navigation device for drop bar bikes, a better option for mountain bikers is to use one the best Garmin watches for MTB instead.
The inevitable crashes we encounter on the trails are not great news for bar or frame-mounted computers, as its easy for them to get flung deep into the undergrowth or trashed completely upon impact. Factor in that even a quick glance at your GPS computer while riding a MTB trail can massively multiply the chances of a crash happening, and we'd rather spend our money elsewhere.
