  "account": "Garmin has quietly discontinued its highest-priced bike computer, the Edge 1060, from its lineup. The new model boasts an onboard microphone and speaker for voice control, along with enhanced navigation, improved battery life, and the signature high-resolution display of its predecessor. The Edge 1060, priced at $799.99/£699.99, now holds the title of the most expensive bike computer on the market, edging out the previous top tier by around $100/£100.\n\nIn addition to the Edge 1060, Garmin unveiled the Explore 3 and Explore 3 Plus models in their bike computer range. These models are designed with simplicity in mind, prioritizing straightforward navigation over advanced performance metrics. The Explore 3 Plus model, which includes the voice and audio features of the Edge 1060, is available at $499.99/£429.99, making it a more affordable option for touring and recreational riders.\n\nCompleting the trio of new releases, Garmin introduced the Tacx Nēra smart trainer. This performance smart trainer is available in a traditional cassette version or with a Zwift Cog and Click system for virtual shifting. The Nēra is engineered to handle heavy efforts, with support for sprint efforts up to 2,200 watts and gradients up to 20%. It also offers multidirectional movement through integrated motion pods, delivering a comfortable and realistic ride experience. Priced at $999.99/£859.99, the Nēra is an addition to Garmin's indoor cycling ecosystem, which already includes the Tacx Neo 3M and Neo 2T models.",
