Xcadey has announced its entry into the cycling computer market with its literally named Bike Computer on display at the Taipei International Cycle Show.
The brand is a partner of Euskaltel-Euskadi and has been making power meters for over a decade.
The new device has many of the features riders have come to expect, including offline mapping, navigation and sensor connectivity.
GPS, BeiDou and GLONASS are all supported by the device, meaning position accuracy should be pretty good.
The device has a 3.2in display with a 480x800 resolution touchscreen, which offers good clarity but may be difficult to navigate in the rain.
Behind the screen, the brand says the computer runs on Android software powered by a 12mm high-performance chip.
I tried the device and it's much like a smartphone in terms of refresh rate.
A benefit of using the Android OS is the possibility to integrate training apps directly into the device, which Xcadey says it is looking into.
The brand claims battery life will be around 20 hours, and that the device is IP67-rated.
We’ve seen other brands, such as Bryton, make quick impacts in the cycle computer market and Xcadey is looking to do the same.
The price, while not confirmed, is expected to be around the €150 mark and the Bike Computer is expected to launch in time for summer.
