Strengths: This computer is easy to install and calibrate. It is built to handle abuse and the rugged outdoors, and while its appearance looks rather expensive it is priced right in there with its competitors. I would highly recommend this computer to all bicyclists.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: Cleverly designed in terms of capturing both analog and digital displays. Material selection for this product makes it very durable yet sleek in appearance. In my opinion this computer goes well with all bikes and cyclists. A great component addtion to your bike !

Strengths: Good Looks, Good Display of functions. Easy to install and use.Weaknesses: No Backlight, and cannot be detatched from the handlebars. This is stupid if u wanna leave urr bike locked up in the streetBottom Line: Its a nice computer and easy to use, looks good and is different to manny others. The bottom line is it neads a detatchable mount & a decent backlight for night riding. Not for a Strict Nightrider!!!!!!!! It also doesn't turn off, y not?
Overall a good buy, some weaknesses but more positives

LooksWeaknesses: Display hard to read
Bottom Line: This product is easy to install, and looks 'nifty' on your bike. I like the computer, but in the near future I am going to upgrade to a display with a larger display for the speed/time etc. Also, it's a good buy for the price.

Strengths: Ease of use, Strength, PriceWeaknesses: A bit difficult to read when riding hard, no backlightBottom Line: A very good product for the price. tuff as you want, i know because i crashed hard, the comp took a hit and was undamaged. I do agree that its hard to read when going flat out on a trail, but for people who do a majority of their riding on road its a quality product.

Strengths: Easy to read. Can see lots of info at once. The wire won't break!Weaknesses: Can't turn it off. It enters a power saving mode where everything but the clock turns off. Not sure if this will effect battery life much, but I don't need a clock, I've got a watch :)Bottom Line: The thick cord, visible display, and the sturdy mounting make this product. It's tough, it shows you what you want, and it works.
I really like the speedometer system with the needles for average and top speed...

Strengths: Well built, easy to install, simple to program and use.Weaknesses: flashing average speed, display pointers narrow and a bit difficult to see.Bottom Line: This computer is very nice, though not perfect. It displays 5 things at once, which is nice. Speed, ave. speed, max speed, and the time of day are constantly displayed and connot be turned off. The fifth item displayed is of your choice, and can be the odometer, trip distance, or other choice. The unit is well built and I like it much better than the Cateye Enduro 2 I had for so long. This unit is not perfect, however. The average speed needle contantly blinks, and is a distaction in my opinion. I want to know my current speed, but the flashing average speed needle distracts me to look at it instead. Also, the current speed "tics" are very small and also difficult to descern from the rest of the display. Overall though a nice product and I give 5 for value, and 4 for overall.

Strengths: ALL THE BASIC FUNCTIONS INCLUDED FOR THE RECREATIONAL/SPORT RIDER PLUS MORE,THICK WIRE, GOOD MOUNTS .Weaknesses: NONE YET,BUT I FIND THINK THE LiL' PLUG CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER IS IT NOT RUFF' RIDIN' TIGHT. YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ENUF SLACK TO KEEP IT IN TRACKBottom Line: ONE OF THE BEST CPU'S OUT THERE FOR THE PRICE. CONVENIENT CONTROLS WITH FUNCTIONS FOR THE SPORT FREAK. THE DIAL LOOKS LIKE A VDO GAUGE. ATTACHES AND SETS UP EASILY. GOOD MOUNTS.
