Much better than the competition, worth the price.

Amazing kit that includes crank cadence sensor, hub speed sensor, main unit and chest heart rate sensor. They connect amazingly well and the integration with Strava is amazing. They also work great with Zwift for indoor cycling and don't require an ANT+ adapter as they are Bluetooth compatible. Amazing customizability, precision. I wouldn't recommend them for beginners as they're a great investment, but if you're committed to cycling they're totally worth the money.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Great buy but you need a special tool

Love the simple design and user friendly concept. The product is perfect, but there is one issue that the company might consider minor, but could make a big difference to consumers like me. How do you sell a product that requires a special installation tool without including the tool in the box? I recommend that you (the buyer) put a 2.5mm allen key in your cart or go to the Autozone to get it (you can get this "Top Secret" clearance). I thought it would be in my car repair kit but was…

Best bike computer I have ever owned

I am 56 years old and have been cycling most of my life. About 3 years ago I was hit by a car on a motorbike and had to stop riding. This year I started riding again. That being said, I wanted a bike computer that could track heart rate and cadence as well as speed. I bought a Tikr Fit and a cadence sensor. I attached a cadence sensor to a dog collar and strapped it to my leg while riding four different bikes. One on a stationary bike, one on a flat bar road bike, one on a hybrid and one on a…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Speed

Absolute rubbish in GPS, finders and accessories

If you like to sit in a loop and say: install update - check wifi - search for device - install updates cyclically or try to sync routes and just make progress locks this one device for you. If you record a journey and then instruct to create a route from the journey, no landmarks are added. You only get one card. I have also created and uploaded GPX files with detailed instructions but the hints are not showing. So as a sat nav it's a pretty pathetic flaw - obviously if you want to use…

  • One year trial

I prefer Garmin Edge 530

Recently purchased and returned a Garmin Edge 530. I was having trouble getting accurate speed readings from Garmin. It looks like my device didn't read the wheel sensor and put out speed data from the GPS. GPS speed data bounces around everywhere. I couldn't find a solution to this problem after days of searching, reading and fiddling with the device and sensors. Instead I bought a Wahoo and have had it for 2 weeks now. I did 6 rides with this device and found it easy to use and accurate. I…

Unsurpassed cost effectiveness

You can't improve what you can't measure! This review includes 5 trips. I'm excited about him. I started out by buying the Garmin equivalent, but since it ended up in my house, was previously used and was supposed to be new, I immediately went back. You can transcend it. 1 - Pairs easily with speed/cadence/heart rate monitors. Once I had connection problems. I solved the problem by turning on Unity, moving each sensor instantly, and starting my ride at that precise moment. 2 - I love how…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required

An entry level device in a company that didn't learn enough from the other device manufacturers that made it. for many more years. First, software bugs: don't count on them to record your history correctly. When connected to the Wahoo Element app for Android, the history on your phone invariably shows error after error or sync error. Later they will show up on the phone and the sync error will go away, but that's not necessarily a good thing (see below). * But a big problem will never go away…

  • Weight
