(4)

Ease of installation

I'm not the savviest of tech geeks out there, but I was able to get the computer hooked up and running after about 45 minutes. Because of my aerobars I had to use a knob attachment for the computer base.

Ease of use

For the most part, this is intuitive. However switching from automatic to manual can be tricky unless you've got the directions handy!

(5)

Durability

I've had no problems with senors and such staying in place while traveling. No major problems otherwise.

(5)

Value

Whenever you can monitor your training progress, I tend to think the price is worth it. The data this little computer puts out is great. If you're looking for a basic computer that packs a punch, this is definitely the product for you.

(5)

Appearance

Small, sleek and lightweight. The output read is large enough to see while riding.

(5)

Performance

When it comes to "go time" ...this little baby gets an A+ from me.

Strengths

- The accuracy is uncanny.
- Great for indoor use on the trainer.
- Excellent readability.
- Great battery life.
- Offers manual and automatic "start" options, which is great for a race environment.

Weakness

- It's not wireless and takes time to ensure that all the sensors secure.
- I'd be great if it had an average cadence feature when you scroll back through the data report.
