With the Bryton Rider 750, the Taiwanese competitor to Garmin, Wahoo and Co. is expanding its product range with a powerful bike computer with a battery life of up to 20 hours. The Rider 750 can of course display the usual bike and fitness data as well as the correct route with routing-capable navigation that is compatible with all common satellite systems. A new feature is support for the latest smart home trainers, allowing you to track real route profiles at home.
The Rider 750 can be operated via the 2.8-inch colour touchscreen and connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth and the Bryton Active app. Up to three adjustable bike profiles can be created to separate rides with different bikes. This allows you to switch from road bike to XC mountain bike or enduro in a flash. An in-built memory records up to 300 hours.
In addition to displaying vehicle and sensor data as well as the user-defined heart rate and power zones, the Rider 750 also features a Turn-by-turn navigation, including distance and direction information. Similar to a car navigation system. If you get lost, the device automatically guides you back to the route. The maps are based on "Open Street Maps". If the pre-installed maps are not enough for you, you can download more free of charge. To keep up to date, a map update is offered every six months.

In addition to the route itself, route highlights can also be tracked. For example, the distance to selected intermediate destinations and the highest point on the route can be displayed.
Gear indicator, battery status: These sensors can be coupled
The sensor search for cadence, speed and heart rate sensors runs automatically and is designed to simplify the tedious manual sensor search. The Rider 750 also supports ANT+Bike radar devices, which warn of vehicles approaching from behind. This is intended to prevent accidents. The warning function is shown as a coloured bar on the right-hand edge of the display and can be supplemented by warning tones.
The bike computer from Taiwan communicates with the electronic circuits Shimano Di2, Sram eTAP and Campagnolo EPS. In addition to the gears engaged and the battery life, the display also shows the current gear ratio. E-bikers with a Shimano Steps drive can connect the Bryton Rider 750 to their e-bike. In addition to the battery status, the remaining range of the respective modes is also displayed.
The Rider 750 is offered in two packages. The standard package (Bryton Rider 750E) starts at 249.95 euros and consists of the bike computer and mounts. The 319.95 euro sensor package (Bryton Rider 750T) also includes the smart sensors for measuring cadence, speed and heart rate.
Real indoor training on the home trainer
Bryton is now bringing variety to indoor winter training. The Rider 750 can control most modern smart home trainers via the ANT+-FE-C protocol. For realistic and varied indoor training, the Bryton computer can simulate the elevation profile of real routes and adapt the resistance of the smart home trainer to the course of the route. You can also create your own workouts in the Bryton app, which are then transmitted to the smart home trainer. Active control of the smart home trainer is also possible.
