a HRM/Cyclecomputer that measures speed, cadence, and heart rate and uses a hadnlebar center mount similar to the Shimano Flight Deck. An excerpt from the product description at Cateyes site;
“The screen features 5 separate windows with 6 lines of data, all of which can be illuminated with the white LED backlight.”
MSRP will be somewhere the low $200 range as UK sites listing it at 199 pounds but also indicate it is not available until June. Cateye has come up with what they claim is a new, more comfortable interface for the chest harness and Cateye also indicates that the user can select the data recording intervals at 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds and there is also an optional (read: costs extra) harness that allows dowloading of up to 150 hours of recorded data to either PC and MAC. Soon as these become available, I am going to be all over that - now if only Cateye would come up with a sensible/afordable power option!
Looks like the bottom right of the smaller windows (the one that reads 270) is already set up for power. Otherwise, I don’t know what 270 could mean, especially with the little down arrow beside it.
I hope you meant “pounds” as in currency and not 199 lbs.
The computer looks pretty good. I have been using my Planet Bike 9.0 computer which has 4 lines of simultaneous display and i like it a lot. All the info u need on one screen. Also has an ambient temperature sensor.
Yes that is true but I think the UK price of £199.99 also includes a 17% VAT which we dont pay here in the US. I took notice of this in the latest Bike Nashbar catalog that came in the mail at the office Tuesday! Although not yet listed on the Nashbar website, there was a listing for it in the HRM section of the catalog and I think the price was either $239 or $279 (CRS) in dollars US! It caught my attention because of the feature list since I have been wanting a cyclcomputer with HRM functions but having gotten used to Shimano’s Flight Deck on my the road bike, I did not/do not want to add more electonic gizmo’s to the bars! We will soon be upgrading to 10-speed Dura Ace which means new Flight Decks and I had hoped that Shimano would have caught on and released a comparable model that included HR functions but Cateye has beat them to the punch so now I am thinking we will go this route!
That is the one I was considering before I got wind of the new one above. The one you posted about is the HR200DW - a good HRM /computer but it does not include cadence, nor does it have as verbose data logging and there is no way to download data.
