Cycle Computers with Cadence

admin | Tuesday, February 8th, 2011 | No Comments »

Serious cyclists and weekend warriors can enhance training rides by incorporating cycle computers with cadence. Cadence sensors measure your average RPMs or pedal cranks per minute to determine your overall ride efficiency. Most cycle computers with cadence provide real-time data on your current pedalling cadence as well as records of your average and maximum cadence. Wired and wireless cycle computers with cadence monitor RPMs through a magnetized sensor mounted on the pedal crank. The data collected by this sensor is transmitted to the cycle computer interface mounted on your handlebars. With a wireless system, setup is easy and the non-restrictive design is compatible with a variety of frame styles and configurations. Wireless models also allow riders to record cadence and ride data for wireless transfer to cloud applications or a home PC.

Cost is one of the primary differences between wired and wireless cycle computers with cadence. Most wired models sell for £45 or less whilst wireless models typically start at this price. Many top of the line cycle computers that feature cadence sensors along with GPS-enabled mapping technology and an arsenal of analytic training tools regularly sell for £100, £200 and up. Fortunately, entry-level models from well-respected brands, such as Bontrager and Raleigh, are available in the £15-20 price range. Riders can easily purchase wired cycle computers with cadence and dozens of functions for under £40. The mid-range CatEye Strada and the comparable Bontrager Trip 3 include cadence, trip distance, speed, elapsed time and temperature among their eleven standard features.

Specialized tech-brands, including CatEye, CicloSport, Garmin, VETTA and SIGMA manufacture a full range of cycle computers with cadence available at a number of price points. Notable equipment and cycle manufacturers, including Raleigh, Planet Bike and Mavic, also offer specially designed cycle computers with cadence. Entry level cycle computers with cadence and basic wired or wireless features are ideal for those who would like to try the technology without major expenses. High-end cycle computers with cadence are ideal for with advanced riders who want to experiment with competitive analytics, a broad range of advanced features and training tools to improve strength, endurance and speed.
