Garmin Edge 550 and 660 Surface in FCC Filings 鈥?Mid-Range Refresh Coming Q3 2026

Two unreleased Garmin Edge bike computers 鈥?model numbers A04774 and A04775 鈥?appeared in the FCC equipment authorization database this week, strongly suggesting that Garmin is preparing successors to the Edge 540 and Edge 840 line for a Q3 2026 launch.

What the filings tell usBoth units support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, and ANT+Internal photos show a slightly larger solar cell array vs. the 540/840The A04775 (likely the Edge 660) adds a cellular LTE option, mirroring the Edge 1050 strategyNo satellite/SOS support 鈥?Garmin appears to be keeping that exclusive to the flagship 1040/1050 line

Why it mattersThe Edge 540 has been the sweet spot in Garmin鈥檚 lineup since launch 鈥?95% of the flagship鈥檚 features at 60% of the price. A 550 refresh with the improved solar panel and a snappier processor would tighten the gap and likely push the 1040 Solar into end-of-life status by Q4.For athletes who don鈥檛 need satellite SOS, the new 550 looks like the value buy of late 2026. We鈥檒l have a full review once Garmin makes the units official.
