Mio Cyclo 100
The Mio Cyclo 100 is a stylish bicycle computer that records time, speed, distance, altitude, calorie consumption and tracks with the built-in GPS. It can be used right out of the box and can be mounted onto any bicycle in portrait or landscape-mode. The device is equipped with an anti-glare 1.8" screen, simple menu structure and a customisable dashboard.
The compact design combined with a rugged waterproof casing (IPX7) and long battery life (up to 18 hours), makes the Mio Cyclo 100 suitable for every weather condition and every track.
With the personal workout partner, the user can challenge him or herself to improve performances. After cycling, it's easy to analyse the recorded tracks and performances and share it online via the Mio Share desktop application. This is the same application used for the Mio Cyclo 300 series: enabling the user to store data, manage route history, analyse performances and share experiences online. The application is also the one-stop shop for managing the device and downloading software updates or latest product information.
Mio Cyclo 105 series - compatible with power meter
Compared to the Mio Cyclo 100, the Mio Cyclo 105 series - which consists of three devices - is equipped with extra accessories to measure performances and health.
The Mio Cyclo 105 series comes with a built-in ANT+ sensor and is compatible with every power meter, so the user can easily monitor his performance. The Mio Cyclo 105 H is the same product, but includes a wireless heart-rate monitor in the box. Finally, the Mio 105 HC offers the complete package. The device has all the accessories on board: a wireless heart-rate monitor and wheel- and cadence-sensor.
