This model does not have GPS, which I don't need anyway. Those who want good connectivity and additional sensors can look at the Garmin Edge 510, which costs $450 locally inclusive of the cadence, speed and heart rate sensors.ĭue to the high cost of the Garmin cycle computers, I decided to get a cheaper Cateye cycle computer instead. At the entry level there is the Garmin Edge 200, with very basic functions, which is available for about $150. The downside is the high cost of owning a good Garmin computer.
The large amount of data available makes it super useful for training, where numbers and statistics are important. The main draw of Garmin computers is the ability to link up to the phone or internet, and to locate or navigate using the in-built GPS. Garmin is another brand that is rapidly gaining market share in the cycle computer market. They have many different models of cycle computers to suit different riders and price points, and they are always reliable. In my opinion, Cateye is the current market leader for cycle computers. The difficult part is choosing which is suitable for you, and what features you are looking for in the cycle computer.
With the wide variety of options available in the market, there is no shortage of good speedometers or cycle computers. Therefore I needed to get a new speedometer for my Merida Scultura 5000. Besides the general feel when riding the bike, it will be useful to have some form of measurement, such as the cruising speed or max speed on these two different bikes. One of my main reasons for getting a road bike is to try and see how different it is compared to my road-bike-like folding bike, the Dahon Boardwalk.
