Favorite Trail:Wekiva
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $220.00

Bottom Line:Don't buy this unless you're in to overpaying by 3 or 4 times for a product that stops working mid-ride.

Submitted by weekend hack a Cross Country Rider from act australia
Date Reviewed: July 7, 2009
Favorite Trail:stromlo
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:onyabike
Strengths:light and gives all the infomation you would need.
Weaknesses:keeps freezing, hard to read
Bottom Line:this is a great unit when it is working properly, give all the information I need to keep fit; but when not working it is a nitemare, the unit will freeze in sleep mode and will have to reset the unit(this meens half an hour of setup), speed sensor or hart rate monitor drop out meening have to spend 10 mins trying to get it back, the magnet for the speed sensor is rubbish, by a sigma one mutch better. The first unit I had the lcd screen broke first ride, also I can't get a speed sensor to pear in for bike 2, this is all well and good if you only have 1 bike but I have 2, I have to swop over sensors to my other bike(I just want to ride it). I have got it working properly on bike 1 in the settings after 6 months of heart ake, I was disapointed with this unit, it cost a lot of money, I should have got a heart rate watch and a cheep computer with wires.

Submitted by jimbent a Weekend Warrior from Bakersfield, CA USA
Date Reviewed: March 21, 2009
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $175.00
Purchased At:Snider's Cyclery
Strengths:Lightweight, Easy to read Speedo
Weaknesses:Hard to read Power, Temperature, Odometer, altitude while riding. Complicated setup routine/reset. When I stop for coffee it goes to "time out" and won't return.
Similar Products Used:Cateye
Bike Setup:Felt road Bike
Bottom Line:For the price - I'm disappointed. If you have 40/20 vision the power meter is adequate - as would be all of the other secondary functions. (I have a Cateye on my recumbent that shows secondary functions in BOLD with the tap of a button)
