Best Cycling Computers of 2026

"I was looking for a cadence tracker that would work with my second-hand exercise bike, and this product fit the bill perfectly. Setting it up was a breeze, and it paired instantly with the bike. I love that it's sleek and barely noticeable on the pedal, so I don't have to deal with a bulky display. The cadence readings seem accurate based on my pedaling and video speed, and it's great having the data directly on my screen. The only downside was that the included battery was low when it arrived, but otherwise, I'm very satisfied."

"I use this sensor on my spin bike in the garage, pairing it with the Wahoo Fitness app and my iPad for Peloton classes. Installation was super simple thanks to the adhesive and cradle options, and it stays put even during intense rides. Connecting to my phone is easy, and I appreciate the straightforward Bluetooth setup. While there's a minor delay in cadence updates, it's not a problem for my workouts. For the price, I think it's a fantastic solution for tracking progress at home."

"After five years of use, I finally had to replace my original sensor, and it was a no-brainer to get the same one again. It works flawlessly with the Peloton app and connects in seconds, making it an excellent investment for anyone focused on fitness goals. I'm confident this replacement will be just as durable and reliable as my first one."

"I've used CatEye computers for years on my bikes, and this is one of the most reliable and affordable models I've had.

I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a dependable, basic bike computer."

The universal mount makes it easy to swap between bikes. The display is bright and scratch-resistant, and once I got used to the basic controls, it was simple to operate. My only minor gripe is that it’s a bit bulkier than expected, and I noticed it sometimes underestimates distance in wooded areas. Still, for general use, it’s quite accurate and convenient."

"The foldability and compact design of this drone are impressive, making it easy to carry and set up. I like the manual control and that it can follow me, but I’ve noticed that tracking can be hit or miss, especially in complex environments.

"I was looking for a simple, affordable speedometer for my gravel bike, and this one exceeded my expectations with its quick setup, precise GPS, and feature-rich display. I especially love that it matched my Strava distance exactly. The only minor quirk is the elevation reading stays in meters even when set to MPH, but that's not a dealbreaker for me. The company's customer service was excellent and responsive when I had a question. For this price, I can't believe how much it offers."

"This bike computer is super easy to install and use. I just hop on my bike and it's already locked onto satellites and ready to go—no waiting around. The large, clear numbers are fantastic, though the smaller text can be tough to read while riding. Battery life is decent but shorter than old-school models. Still, it's a solid entry-level option, and I feel like I got great value."

"I was skeptical given the low price, but this bike computer surprised me with its high-quality display and impressive accuracy. It may take a minute to find satellites, and the clock is in 24-hour format, but those are minor issues. What matters most is that it's easy to read and rechargeable. I'm very happy with the purchase."
