Bike computers: all your data at a glance

With a bike computer, also known as a cycle computer, you can monitor and record all important data such as speed, distance, and other parameters while on the move. Models that can also be used for navigation thanks to their GPS function are very practical.

At Transa, you will find various bike computers and accessories such as handlebar mounts, memory magnets, water and splash protection covers, and heart rate monitors.

Bike computers: practical, reliable, and easy to use

Choose the bike computer model that best meets your cycling needs. In addition, the bike computer should meet the following requirements so that it can withstand every tour.

You can recognize a good bike computer by the following features:

  • It is small and compact, so it can be easily installed on any handlebar without taking up too much space.
  • The display is clear and easy to read. The font is large enough and the colors are high-contrast so that you can always read everything clearly.
  • Operation is simple and intuitive.
  • Attaching it to the handlebars is simple and straightforward.
  • Integrated lighting ensures that you can read the data on the bike computer even at dusk or in the dark.
  • The material is robust and can withstand the vibrations of riding.
  • Thanks to the USB cable, you can download updates to the bike computer and analyze and save all data on mobile devices or your PC at any time.
  • The battery lasts as long as possible (at least 8 hours) and can be charged quickly so that it is ready for the next tour in no time.
  • Bike computers are waterproof, so a rain shower won't damage the device.

Full control

Depending on the model, a bike computer offers you different functions. Typical functions include displaying the time ridden, distance, speed, and, of course, heart rate. Then it mainly depends on the purpose for which you want to use your bike computer.

For ambitious and recreational athletes

If you want to keep fit and healthy through cycling, functions such as heart rate measurement and calorie consumption calculation are important for you. At the same time, the distance traveled is also important, which is determined by GPS. That's why most bike computers are equipped with GPS functionality. Heart rate measurement is usually done using a chest strap (transmitter). The data transmitted from there is evaluated directly by the bike computer or with suitable computer programs or smartphone apps. This collected and evaluated data gives you a good overview of your training status.

For mountain and off-road

If your training also involves data on inclines and declines, then your bike computer should be equipped with barometric or GPS-based altitude measurement. GPS altitude measurement is still considered by mountain specialists to be less reliable than barometric altitude measurement. This is mainly because GPS reception cannot be guaranteed in dense forests, for example. If you frequently ride off-road, your bike computer should also be equipped with a good route and navigation function. Simply choose the model that best suits your requirements from the Transa range.
