How Does the MTB Dynamics Feature Work on an Edge Device?

MTB (Mountain Bike) dynamics consist of 3 types of data: Jump Metrics, Grit and Flow, that are automatically enabled when you are using the MTB Activity Profile on a compatible Edge® cycling computer.

---

Jump Metrics 

• Motion sensors embedded within the device are used to identify jumps.

• Includes jump count, jump distance, hangtime, and jump speed.

• An alert will appear during a ride when a jump is detected.

• The locations of the jumps and a Jump Score (combination of distance, hangtime, and speed of the jump) are available in the Garmin Connect™ platform once the device has been synced.

Grit

Grit measures the overall difficulty of a mountain bike ride based on factors such as the speed of the ascent and descent and the angle of turns throughout the ride. This can be useful when comparing the difficulty of different trails that you ride. When you sync with Garmin Connect, you will receive a chart of the grit scores throughout the ride and your total score for the ride in Garmin Connect. You can also view the grit rating along the trail on your activity map. The more difficult the ride, the higher the grit score should be: 

	Easy: 0-20
	Moderate: 20-40
	Hard: 40+

Flow

Flow measures how well you maintain speed during your mountain bike ride based on factors such as ascent, descent, and the angle of turns throughout the ride. This can be useful when analyzing your ride performance on a trail. When you sync with Garmin Connect, you will receive a chart of the flow scores throughout the ride and an overall average score for the ride in Garmin Connect. You can also view the grit rating along the trail on your activity map. Lower flow scores indicate a smoother ride while higher scores represent a ride with more speed fluctuations or stops:

	Easy: 0-20
	Moderate: 20-40
	Rough: 40+
