| Pros | Multi-sport feature, small, good reception out-doors, simple to use, has most features of larger gps systems. | | Cons | Directions are miz, bar mount is hard to find, doesn't work well in large cities, cadence sensor is not built for mtb. | | Verdict | This is great if you want something that crosses over in to different sports, takes up little space, and covers the basics of an expensive bike computer or fitness watch. | | Recommended for: Value seekers |
