I had the Garmin 130 it was a great little unit but upgraded to the 830 when Garmin were doing a 40% off deal
Why haven’t you given a single website buying link for the products? Not EVEN a single one!!?!
Maybe it’s different across the pond but in the US the polar m460 has not been available for several years. I got one of the last ones I guess. And in spite of what polar says the polar app will not update the m460 firmware. I got the unit mainly to connect the h10 heart rate monitor and am happy with it. I don’t need to be shown routes. I use Komoot to work that out ahead of time. While I do not, you can sync Komoot to the polar environment.
Are any of these able to link up with the All Trails app?
what is height of seat?
My XOSS G+ worked for about a year until the GPS stopped working. If you had this happen or know of a fix, plead advises . In my 2 recent videos you can see OO.o on my XOSS G+ Thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pyMNELWVRc
You should check out CooSpo BC107. It’s got many features of high end cycle computers but at fraction of the price.
I’ve been using XOSS Sprint for years without any major issues. I also have a few of their G+ models that don’t have nav. Well worth checking out.
What you think for comps from ali Express Newboler and cycplus m1
The biggest problem is that they all have small screens to navigate . First i was using mobile and Zeopoxa software on a samsung . Now i changed the mobile to iPhone but i downloaded b-icycle but i need to tested . Zeopoxa works only on android only . I use my bike for exercise and enjoying the day out because I am 65 now but still struggle around with my age 😉 .
Why is bro’s forehead so wrinkled?
Love my Mio 210. If you just want a navigation device (which also records and gives you average/top speed, distance, total ascent etc.), this is excellent. The “surprise me” function has found some excellent routes I would never have found otherwise. I picked mine up for £130, so you can get it cheap if you shop around and wait for the bargains.
Bryton 420 is brilliant value for money. Just picked up mine (420H which comes with heart rate sensor) for just £79.99 on a special price from Tredz. Works a treat and done 20 hours plus on one charge so far and only dropped one bar on battery display. 🙂
Thanks!
cheap for 200 pounds? i bought my bike computer for 6€. It does the job!
I have the Lezyne. Micro GPS, The only drawback I find it has is the small letters on the screen, yes I selected it for its size and simplicity to use, the Lezyne XL might be the way to go but Still like these gps units to be small and not a Tablet size, great tips on your review.
Cheap ???
Would these work on dirt bikes?
Why not just download a good app
I like my Sigma ROX 11.1 evo. GPS navigation, Bluetooth, nice app and a 100 EUR price 🏷️ It’s perfect for me.
Magene C406 lite 50$
12 hours on the 130? You’re having a laff 😂
I use my iPhone and Cadence app
I’ve got my eye on an iGPSort BSC100S Computer which does basically everything that I need a cycling computer to do (I don’t need mapping), and am wondering if it’s a rebadged version of any of these? If not, does anyone have any experience with it and if so is it any good?
All you need is a cateye, hell maybe I’m old school and got around for years with out navigation
As if distracted drivers weren’t bad enough we can now add riders faffing about scrolling thru a screen…. If it distracts you from the road it should be in your pocket…just saying…
Does Garmin still suffer from longer and longer GPS acquisition times. Every unit I ever got so far did. Now looking for a bike computer. Thanks for a head start.
This guy is not Brit.
The Cateye Quick is exactly what you’d expect. The biggest drawback to it, sadly, was its fragility. I dropped it when I was unhooking my bike helmet from my backpack shoulder strap (when it was on the ground) and now the display is fooked. It dropped about 10cm. I could read some of the display so I decided to use it for a while longer. A month goes by and I drop it from about 20cm, again, while I was unlocking my bike. Now, the display is complete trash. Cateye does NOT make robust devices. I don’t know what I should expect from bike computers (especially the cheap ones) but Cateye is a total let down. To get into the biking game, it seems like a sizable investment. Why buy a good bike computer if the bike itself is only $600. So buy a mid-range bike and a midrange computer (because I’m not a 12-year old novice). Basically, it’s a never ending spiral upwards. Maybe I’ll just get fat, eat Doritos and watch hair-curling erotica.

Strava does all what I needed to track, but they have nothing for cadence. I was somehow lucky enough to get an "old" Cateye Strada Cadence. Had no idea cycling computers now are mostly wireless now AND expensive!
MAGENE C406?
My cell phone.
Gupta ji namaskar 😊
I have been using the Mega XL for over two years and about 22,000 road kms. Never updated the firmware. Works pretty well but my needs are simple. The biggest love I have for it is the massive battery life, no other unit on the market comes close.
Cheap … $ 200??
The magene has everything except for mapping..
I thought he said cheap? My fifteen quid computer gives me current speed, average speed, trip distance, total distance/odo, and clock. Why pay 44 pounds?
All the screens are to small for me with my not great eyesight, I’ll stick with my Garmin 1000 even though their a few years old now
I love my garmin edge 20
Magene??
I’m waiting on a Beeline Velo 2, I’m pretty casual so I’m mostly interested in getting to a destination, seems pretty neat and I’m not sure you can get a better nav for less.
Nothing cheap in this video.
I love my Sigma Rox 4. Cheap, powerful, easy to read and long battery life.
When started working out (first I ran, started lifting, now cycling) I first got the polar multi sport watch. Polar was awesome, but I think they concentrated too much on the website and negated the device. They also made it 3rd party incompatible (Strava was a nightmare, apps like MyFitnessPal wouldn’t work). I switched to Garmin products fénix, power meters, radars ect. I can’t see myself spending the $$$ all over again for the polar equivalent. The sole superior polar product was the Polar HR monitor. In 2-3 years I only had 1-2 HRs, where the damn Garmin break every other 3 months
couldnt watch this see if you can talk without waving your arms about like C3PO very annoying
Anybody has a Garmin edge explore, how is it? Can I create route on the device ?
Polar seems to have abandoned cycling market. The M460 is already 5 years old. It’s two generations in tech.
How about budget friendly cycling apparel for starter. Thanks in advance.
