Overview
A road or off-road bike handlebar is where this computer goes, held by an out-front or standard mount. GPS and a speed sensor record the ride, and Bluetooth connects the sensors and other devices.
Choose it for a full bundle with a touchscreen, long battery life and the sensors and mounts already in the box. The limit is a thin listing, which gives no map, memory or water resistance details and names a wrist mount that does not match the contents.
Who it's for
A training cyclist logging rides and heart rate, or a rider mixing road and trail, will use the touchscreen and the included sensors. People who need documented maps, storage or water resistance, or who want a watch-style device, should check the maker's sheet.
Pros and cons
- Large color touchscreen
- Long battery life
- Sensors and strap in the bundle
- Two mount options included
- Map and storage details not listed
- Mount field wrongly says wrist
- Dimensions look like package size
Performance notes
GPS fixes position, while a speed sensor measures speed at the wheel, so readings hold up when satellite reception drops. Cadence and heart rate sensors add training data over Bluetooth. Buttons alongside the touchscreen give a way to operate the unit when a touch is awkward.
