Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable, easy to configure, readable.

I had a Sigma speedo on my bike for 14 years before it expired. The wired connection to the cradle was eventually cut. I figured I'd upgrade and save a few bucks by going for a wireless model with more screens and data from a brand I'd never heard of (but was a "good" price). He also has pretty good grades. Took 6 months to stop showing speed after 20 minutes of driving. Just drop to 0.0 km/h. New batteries didn't help. And the time kept getting shorter and shorter until it was completely useless. I returned to the Sigma and am happy with this model. Once installed on the bike, the readings are very close to my Garmin smartwatch, which I think is fairly accurate (typically within 0.02 miles per 10 miles, speedometer watching). Easily readable on a large screen. It doesn't have much data to show you, but I don't need it on the wheel while driving. Garmin has everything you need after your trip. The only thing I would wish for is a backlight as I drive before sunrise on weekdays, but that's no big deal. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • SCOPE OF DELIVERY: Bicycle computer (with battery), holder for cable models, magnet, fastening material, operating instructions.
