Entry level cycle computer with power

space2ground1

Hi all,

Looking to buy my daughter a new cycle computer for Christmas. She has cadence and speed sensors on the bike as she uses it on an old TacX for Zwift with me. (Under 16s are free on Zwift!)

In the new year she’ll be on the road a little more and no doubt will be going through the motions of crawling down the money black hole we’re all accustomed to so I’d like to get a computer that will connect to and display power.

The cadence and speed sensors are Garmin but I’m not seeing an obvious entry level bike computer that’ll just show her the numbers.

Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

You'll need a power meter if you want to see power data

Oh yeah I know, I just want to avoid having to buy a new bike computer if she decides to get a power meter in 6 months time. Just future proofing a bit now.

Mr. Cats

There’s iGPSPORT’s units that have power. I’ve never used them so can’t say on quality but reviews seem reasonable

82 euro & 15% off with 15BF code. Might b cheaper elsewhere

Theres the Sigma Rox rabge too, theyre reasonably priced and easy to use. They sync through an app though.

Posted an Amazon black friday offer for their basic unit in the bargain alerts thread (£43.55). Not 100% sure it does power, but it looks like it does

I’m leaning towards the Edge 130.. It would be good I think to start her off with the Garmin ecosystem for storing rides and being able to look back at older spins to see progress etc.
