Thanks! Yes, we're hoping to get our hands on the XOSS G+ as well. As far as budget GPS computers the Byrton 15 / Cycplus M1 / XOSS G+ seem to be the best options on the market.
I got one of this (rider 15) and I don't get it haha. The speed and cadence are measured separately by additional sensors or does the computer measures it all? My box came with a little battery thing that goes attached to the bar under the seat, you didn't show that one in the video...what is it for? 🤔
The Bryton (and all GPS computers) can measure speed / altitude / distance / gradient using only the GPS signal. You'll need a separate cadence sensor to measure the cadence (the rotational speed of your crank). It sounds like you have the sensor bundle version of the Rider 15 which comes with the cadence sensor (us.eshop.brytonsport.com/products/cycling-cadence-sensor-buy) - you want to attach that to your crank arm using the provided rubber strap.
Great review! Thanks! Can you tell if model 15 has better contrast than Rider 320 and 750 this is the impression I've got by looking at the video. Also what about stopping the ride which you mentioned, is it acts as pause button and you can unpause it later or it just stops and save the ride and there is no way to pause it?
With the Rider 15 neo you can pause and resume a ride recording. You just have to press the right button, then the left button to cycle through the 'stop' and 'resume' options. Note there is no option to 'delete' a ride recording, everything is saved. In terms of brightness, I think it is very similar to the Rider 320 while the Rider 750 looks better in full sun but is dimmer in the shade.
Hello, does your right OK button feels different than the left one? My left clicks and right one doesnt and is more stiff. Dunno if its by design or is it faulty? Thank you
Our Rider 15 buttons feel nearly identical. It's possible your GPS might be have a manufacturing error. You can reach out to Bryton's customer support - usually they are pretty good about sending replacements.
Yes/No. The Bryton 15 Neo has: odometer (total accumulated mileage), trip distance (distance for current recording), ride time (moving time for current ride) and trip time (total time for current recording). You can modify the odometer via the settings menu and the ride / trip data automatically reset when you start a recording.
The computer has a "smart pause" feature that will automatically pause the recording when your speed goes to zero for an extended time. With the Rider 15 Neo you can't adjust the thresholds for it (the higher end computers let you adjust it) but you can enable or disable it via the settings.
No problem! No the Bryton Rider 15 isn't compatible with the Varia. I believe only the Bryton Rider 750 is compatible currently (ua-cam.com/video/_RbA4dM9DZU/v-deo.html)
Hello I have a question, I bought my Bryton rider 15 neo gps and I set it up well then I installed the Bryton Active app on my iPhone and I planned a route which I then have downloaded, but when I press the button to transfer the track to the meter, this message appeared: "Your device or software version does not support this function. "Could someone help me with this?
Unfortunately, the Bryton Rider 15 Neo does not support navigation, that's why your getting that message. I'm not sure if there are any sub $100 computer that offer navigation or map functions. You'll need to upgrade to the Bryton Rider 750 if you want navigation (as well as color touch screen and a lot of other features) - www.brytonsport.com/#/R750.
No problem! Yes, we don't actually use a speed sensor on our bikes and haven't had any issues with the GPS derived speed. The only downside is that if you ride in tunnels or dense forested areas with poor GPS coverage, the speed values can jump around or stop updating.
There are two distances - a trip distance (how far you've gone since you pressed record) and an overall odometer. It's just like your car, the odometer is accumulated distance while the trip computer is automatically reset each time you record.
thank you for your good reviews my original plan are buy bryton 320, but i think 15 neo are enough because i don't need power meter (it's expensive) and 15 neo is cheaper in my country about US$65 and 320 are about US$110 in terms of connectivity and stability, after using for about maybe 1-2 months are you experiencing any bugs or difficulties? because cheap cyclocomp tends to do that (i do have Magene C406, and sometimes my ride just stopped after 20k and i have to restarted again...) thank you
Thanks! The Bryton computers have been holding up well, haven't had any issues yet. The 15 Neo is definitely a great option for the price. Just note it has a lot less screen customization than the Bryton Rider 320 with smaller screen.
@@TheSweetCyclists as your name said, SWEET! i think thats enough for me, currently i using Lixada HR+Cad Monitor, but i only recorded my cycling with watch, and i think it doesnt match with strava at all lol
No. The Bryton computers use a Bryton specific mount - it's almost identical to Garmin but slightly thicker. For many of their computers they do offer adapters to Garmin mounts. Otherwise, you can use their Sport out-front mount or included handlebar mount.
I'm considering this unit or the Cycplus M1, but one piece of info that I didn't see you talk about is how fast the GPS can pick up the satellites. I have an old Garmin 200 and that thing can take many minutes to connect, and that is just so annoying. How fast are both of these? Thanks - love your review format!
Thanks! We're glad the straight-forward reviews are helping you. Regarding GPS connectivity, the Cycplus seems slightly faster than the Bryton but at least in California they both connect in under 30 seconds. The main thing I dislike about the Cycplus M1 is that it always shows power / heart rate / cadence in the bottom left corner which is wasteful if you don't intend to use those sensors.
Yes, the speed display units and the temperature display units are separate settings. The Rider 15 Neo offers a lot of customization despite the low price point.
Thanks. The Bryton computers are a great value, especially if you don't need all the extra software features of more expensive Garmin/Wahoo computers. We've also done reviews for even cheaper $30 CYCPLUS computers which offer GPS speed but no sensors and less configurability.
I need help, what’s you opinion for best budget computer bike (bryton rider 15/magene c406/ xoss g+ / coospo bc107) I really appreciate if you can answer my question, Thank you
We haven't tried those Magene / XOSS / Coospo products but based on the specs they are all very similar. Picking the right one depends on what features you need (customization / map views / color screens...) and which data layout you prefer. If you just need a GPS based speed / data then something like the $36 CYCPLUS is what I'd recommend. Otherwise something like the Bryton Rider 320 gives you much more customization but costs more.
Thanks! Yes, you can use a speed sensor to track your speed instead of using the GPS signal. Don't forget to set the proper wheel circumference as it is used with the speed sensor to determine distance.
Did you enter the config menu first? It should just be enter menu (rear button) + select item (left button) ... + confirm (right button). It's on page 13 of the manual - www.brytonsport.com/download/Manual/UM/Rider15neo/R15N_UM_EN.pdf.
Yes, but I don't recommend it. You can put Bryton device on Garmin mount, and Garmin device on Bryton mount but it can damage the mounts. I've been using a Fabric Lumaray (see ua-cam.com/video/wSL_5Iq-0qI/v-deo.html) on a Bryton front mount and it's bent the tabs so that it no longer fits a Garmin mount without play.
The Rider 15 Neo is IPX7 rated which means it passed the certification for being "submerged up to 1 meter in water for 30 minutes". It should have no issues with rain or even falling into a puddle. Most computers are at least IPX4 rated and can handle rainy weather.
The computer auto-pauses when you come to a stop but you can also manually pause it by pressing the right corner button. Be careful though, to resume the recording you have to press the left corner button then the right corner button. Pressing the right corner button twice will stop and save the recording.
@@marko-182 Tire circumference only matters if you are using a speed sensor. If you are using a speed sensor then It's really easy to measure your wheels directly. Just mark a spot on the tire and the ground then do a full rotation in a straight line. Just measure the distance between and you should get length in mm that would ensure better accuracy.
Great review ,thanks mate 😊
