At a MSRP of $25, you will not be disappointed in it’s performance.8548437754162 Quick Wireless Cycle Computer 44.99 ////GBP InStock 458965942578 Computers 458966040882 Wireless Computers The computer mounts easily and it’s sensors stay put once attached. The computer delivers accurate metrics and displays that information in a clear and readable manner. That said, overall, we’re very happy with the Velo 8. Even at this price, we think it would be easy to allow the user to adjust the calories in the same way you can adjust the tire size.
As mentioned above, we don’t like the computer’s inability to adjust the calorie consumption. Unfortunately, we could only mount the Velo 8 on the front wheel not a big deal if you’re just riding, but not very useful if you use a trainer in the off season. The single button makes it easy to move through the menu, though it requires you to move through the entire menu if you miss your information point. It performs well and has a large display. The CatEye Enduro bike computer is a firm favorite with many cyclists, particularly mountain bikers, because it is rugged, with a thick cord (although it’s a little short) and a strong case. We’ve been pleased with the CatEye Velo 8. QUICK REVIEW: The Cateye Micro Wireless is an excellent wireless bike computer because of its high value price, features, and reliability. 7: Most Durable and Rugged Budget Bike Computer CatEye Enduro CC-ED400 Wired Bike Computer. Once we attached the lead and the sensor on the front wheel, the sensor has worked perfectly and not moved around. CatEye strada slim: James Huang/Future Publishing The Strada Slim forgoes the usual buttons it is one in itself The Strada Slim scores on its light weight, ease of setup and use. Having only one control button does require you to move through the entire menu to get to your data points, but that’s a small price to pay. The single large button on the front of the Velo 8 makes it very easy to move through the information points. However, even with our polarized glasses, we could clearly make out our speed and other details. Our sunglasses are polarized, so that always small issues with digital displays. In the brightest sun, we didn’t experience any problems with the display washing out or becoming less readable.
Cateye bike computer review full#
Since installing the Velo 8, we’ve used the computer in full and partial sun, in training and at the White Lake Half IM-distance race. We discussed the mounting of the CatEye Velo 8 in our original review. Either way, it can be a good yardstick to measure performance, but not highly accurate. As is, the calorie count is factory set and cannot be adjusted. Though the calorie counter is a great addition, it would be much more useful if it was adjustable. The Velo 8 features Current, Max, and Average speed trip distance, odometer, clock, ET, and calorie consumption. The Velo 8 isn’t the cheapest computer CatEye makes, but it’s approachable price point makes it a good choice for many triathletes. It’s really easy to find a great computer if you’re willing to spend $100, but it’s much harder to find something that is functional and durable while still being inexpensive enough for the a triathlete with other hobbies and financial responsibilities. The Velo 8 Cycle Computer:Īs we mentioned in our initial review, our main criteria for selecting this computer to test was CatEye’s reputation and the price. CatEye moved into the cycle computer business in the early 1980’s and now offers a large line of computers with various functions and available at almost every price point. CatEye also created the first head lamp using white LEDs in 2001.
Founded in Osaka, Japan in 1946, CatEye launched the first flashing lamp for bikes in 1964.
Background on CatEye:Ĭateye is a very experienced cycling company. For a retail price of $25 or less, you will be hard pressed to find a computer with the options this one has, including the calorie counter and the large display. We didn’t and installed the mount upside down. The computer mounts pretty easily, as long as you actually pay attention to the instructions. A handful of weeks ago, we started testing the CatEye Velo 8 Cycle Computer.
