from Colorado Springs, CO, USA Date Reviewed: December 3, 2008 Strengths: Cool factor, motovational tool, accurate, fun. Weaknesses: Mounts using zip ties. It looks a little cheesie, but easy to mount, which is nice if you have multiple bikes. Just buy a bag of zip ties. Also not crazy about the color of the face plate. I think a neautral black would be nicer to look at. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Chutes Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $129.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Cateye. Bike Setup: 2008 Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper w/ Crossmax and Specialized Captain tires.

from South Africa Date Reviewed: August 17, 2008 Strengths: It finds the satelites easily and remains locked on no matter what, under trees and through forests. The versatility of the selectable display layout is excellent. The downloading of data is effortless and the software gives great info. Weaknesses: The battery life is really poor. At best a 7 hour ride. I guess that this is really a product for the roadies because once it gets in thye rain and the mud starts flying about the mud and rain jamb the top mounted buttons making it impossible to depress them. And the mud doesn't come out easily, so for the next couple of rides the unit has to be treaeted tough to get it to work. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tokai Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Sportsmans Warehouse Similar Products Used: Garmin 305, Forerunner Bike Setup: Titus Motolite. The unit mounts very easily on the stem.
