I'm using the other model igs618 which mainly for tracking route and cadence monitoring. All in all it is performing good when it works, my gripe on this device is the long GPS syncing before the ride and finalizing data after the ride. The other minor flaw is the computer holder clamp to the handbar is weak when you ride on a bumpy road. These budget series are good for the casual rider like me, but it is still lacking in many area for pro rider. Good review.
Thanks for the confirmation about elevation measurement being off on this computer. Although, I kind of liked seeing my elevation grade being 7% or 8% when I thought it was tough hill, but in reality, it was probably more like 4% - 5%. : )
Great video. I am struggling with the customisation of the page. Can you have a video on this . I am totally new to it. Can I have Page 1 just showing HR , CAD, Speed & ELEV
Thanks for the in-depth review! I am comparing this IGPsport BSC100S with the Coospo BC107 and I was wondering which computer you think is best. Thank you in advance.
Tenho um problema na configuração da pagina. Não consegue mostrar Velocidade como principal, na sequencia: Frequencia, Cadencia, Distancia e Tempo ?? Por algum motivo não tem opção desses dados na mesma pagina....
I got the impression from your excellent review that one could program the heart rate zone numbers. For example zone 1, 101-110 , zone 2, 110-119, and so on. Am I correct. It's interesting that the app shows this, but can I program my personal zone numbers? Input from any & all presently using the IGSport BSC100S is much appreciated.
❤ A" very nice, detailed and unbiased tutorial-review. Thanks. Wonder if I can ask you a few questions before I buy: 1. I already have a generic 'phone mount' on my bike. Would using the 'original mount of BSC100S' still be necessary, if I use my own mount? 2. Can it upload data to 'Google Fit' or to 'Samsung Health', other than Strava? 3. If I cannot upload data to 'Google Fit' or to 'Samsung Health', would I still need Bluetooth connectivity with my phone? My thanks in advance 😊
Thank you! 1. It uses garmin mount, if you have an adapter for that you do not need their mount 2. Unfortunately you will not be able to do so 3. You only need it when you want to sync the recorded data on the bike computer Hope we have answered them even though it was kind of late
You can synchronize Samsung Health can with Strava, so a while after synchronization cycle computer with iGpSportApp training data are visible in Samsung Health.
I am having trouble setting up my SPD61 speed sensor , could you or someone have a step by step way of setting this sensor up? I cannot find any videos on it. Best Regards.
Most of the time it does not post the rides on Strava or it puts them incorrectly. One of my rides was listed as 33 thousand km. Don't waste your money.
Its a tough one. We strongly recommend you to check on our magene c406 review. We felt that both have their pros and cons, ultimately it depends on which one suit you more.
I find IGPSPORT more suitable for myself. But do the Sensors from XOSS like XOSS VORTEX, give accurate results with this GPS? Or we should use same brand sensors?
@@nanowiser6177 It's a great choice regardless of which bike computer you choose. Not too sure about Mi Smartwatch, but I believe you can't pair it with bike computer. Xoss sensors does work with IGPSport bike computer.
I feel best for me would be - IGPSPORT BSC100S Computer XOSS VORTEX Speed/Candence Sensor XOSS Chest HEART RATE SENSOR Though this is good on budget. Will it work? What's your take? Or should I get IGPSPORT Sensors only?
hello guys I need your help my igp sports average speed it's very low it's not working properly what can I do for example I can do 40 to 45 km per hour for like.AVG is going to be like 30 km per hour which is not supposed to be so
I have this and it suits my outdoor cycling needs. The main qualm I have is the page customization. It's weird how each frame is preset to only have a choice of certain metrics. I can't have cadence and time on the same page, for example, because they are limited to the same customization space. Yet I can have a blank space on the same page but no choice to fill that blank with anything other than Elevation and Distance (which are already options in other spaces). You'd think they could fix this with a firmware update that allows any and all metrics to be used in any of the four spaces below the top one. I'm not hyperfocused on metrics when I'm outdoors, but this wonky and limiting customization just feels like an oversight. Not complaining though, since I can always look at the exported data after in totality or on another page. For $40 CAD with a mount it is great value.
I was wondering, with page customization, is it possible to show current GPS speed and average speed at the same time? I assumed it would be, but now I am worried after I have ordered it.
@@buttlesschap not sure if I follow. I can configure page 1 to show both current and average speed, and it'll stay there (not switch to another screen) during a ride?
@@ucdcrush Yes you can. You have 4 pages with 5 frames each to fill/customize. Each frame can show a number of different metrics. Some can be used in many different frames, some (like cadence and time) are only fixed to particular 1 frame (e.g only top right frame on every page). So if you're missing a metric on page 1, you can always have it on pages 2-4. Page 1 is the default/home page. You have to manually tab to another page (using the device button) for it to switch pages. It will only automatically switch back to page 1 with the setting enabled. So don't worry about it tabbing to another page without your own input. I personally have all the live metrics on page 1, averages and ride time on page 2.
WAKE UP! The first thing..there’s no power cord! And the one it requires isn’t the standard size that comes with many small devices. Bad first impression. WAKE UP!
Great video and very informative! Keep up the awesome content. Just subscribed!
Thanks for the comprehensive review

It seems like many entry level bike computers are facing this issue. Pretty sure they are using other map system or just software issue.

Thanks Mark, I will try to do a more detail comparison soon before making a conclusion on this. Cheers!
good video and helpful, but I am more concerned about gps navigation, it seems this bike computer doesn't have the function

I have a Magene HR sensor and it won't pair to this computer. Now I don't know whether to buy a Magene computer or Igpsport HR belt.
What gear feels good to you on flat paved surfaces?
Savez s'il est possible de connecter un compteur BSC100s directement à l'appli Strava sans passer par l'application IGPsport ? Merci
xoss+ g2 is out and it's like the bcs 200.... they have navigation feature... would like to see A vs B kind of video...
Good to know that they actually release a new model! We shall look into it in the future
Great review ! Looking forward for your review on igpsport 630 ( top range) and BCS200 ( new model) .
Thank you! Hopefully we can get our hands on one for review in the future!
Hi, does this unit have 3 second power reading
Most of the time it does not post the rides on Strava or it puts them incorrectly. One of my rides was listed as 33 thousand km. Don't waste your money.
This vs Magene C406? Which is better as per you sir?

I find IGPSPORT more suitable for myself. But do the Sensors from XOSS like XOSS VORTEX, give accurate results with this GPS? Or we should use same brand sensors?
I am into Recreational Cycling, do I really need an expensive Heart Rate Sensor? Will not MI Smartwatch enough for giving me BPM data?

IGPSPORT BSC100S Computer
XOSS VORTEX Speed/Candence Sensor
XOSS Chest HEART RATE SENSOR
Though this is good on budget.
Will it work? What's your take?
Or should I get IGPSPORT Sensors only?
Is it possible to display current speed and average speed on the same screen at the same time?
Yes it is, you can customize it via the phone app.
@@ucdcrushthank you
Can I ask in your opinion, is this the best budget bike com under $60sgd?
this is our best one so far
@@WiserBiker Alright thanks, can I ask for the Xoss G+ and the Magene C406, does the bike com auto stop and auto start when we're not moving?
@@iRisqwydthat's pretty standard on bike computer though
@@youngsuk3329 ok so it does right?
Hi!
Can you import Strava Route files, like GPX or TCX?
Thanks
The BSC100s doesn't have map navigation on it so no.
I must have missed something, all these wonderful data fields and you can't customizing them on the many data screens ????????????????
Magene C206pro vs Igsport bsc100? Im mostly gonna get Magene 😅
They are both solid bike computer as to which one to go for. This is really base on your personal preference. They have its own appeal haha :)
@@WiserBikerwhat's your thought on bcs100s vs magene 406 and 206?
iGPSport BSC100S or Magene C206 Pro?
Magene if you want the small & compact size, IGPSport if you want more features. Don't get us wrong, Magene still has very good features :)
@@WiserBiker What are the most useful features IGPSport has that Magene has not?
How does this bike Computer measure your heart beat? What you need to connect with?
Can you connect your smart watch or i dnt know.
You need an ANT+ heart rate sensor then either link it to the computer in the app or from the computer itself .
Bluetooth too
Will the older type of heart rate monitor iGPSPORTS HR35 work for me with this type?
You can link to your older HRM :)
One more thing, where does the heart rate appear on the display?
@@mbarry63 the 4 smaller parameters are customizable, so you can set to show HRM
@@WiserBiker well thank you
If I buy this bike computer, can I connect my own Magene cadence sensor to it?
Yes you can use magene sensors
@@WiserBiker thank you
Sir, paano i- change language ang 100s?
Can this model map your ride?
I have Magene C406 - was ok, cant map my ride thou:( . H8 using celphone and i dont want to bring any battery pack either😡
NOT
Can I load a saved map and use it.
Do you need to have the speed sensor?
If you do not have speed sensor, the head unit will use GPS to calculate the speed :)
@@WiserBiker how precisely is it? :)
How to enter odo in this bsc100s?
Anyone had success to sync with Garmin Connect?
BSC100S is not a Garmin product. Use its own app on the phone or iPad. AFAIK, it doesn't have a MacOS app.
