CATEYE Wired Bike Computer | Entry-Level Speedometer and Odometer, Perfect for Beginner Cyclists, Auto Start/Stop, Easy Setup for Road, MTB, Gravel Bikes

A great basic cyclo-computer! Here is what I like -- ++ Very easy to scroll thru the different functions -- time, distance, average speed, etc. One button! ++ WIRED connection. No cell phone interference, no extra battery, no clunky sensor. Install and forget. ++ Not too flashy, so less likely to draw unwanted attention or detract from the bike ++ Battery life in years (based on using several similar Cateye computers) What is not perfect -- -- The spoke mounted magnet needs a better mount. -- The handlebar mount is just a couple of ty-wraps -- but it does work for me. -- The CO2 and calorie functions are a bit silly for me. Got about 100km / 65 miles on my Velo 9, and it has been just what I expected. Friendly advice -- when you are setting yours up, choosing the KM vs. Miles setting is the first step. If you skip it, you cannot go back (at least, I could not figure out how). So make sure to check it when you start -- mine was set to KM and I missed it, so had to set up twice. Updated after a year -- very pleased with this cyclocomputer. It is easy to remember the functions, like resetting the trip odometer. The mount has held up well, even tho it gets removed a lot for security. Still on the original battery. Easy to read in either the sunshine or cloudy days. Overall, a solid little computer.

Excellent Product Easy to install Works as expected

Nothing new here! My Cateye Mity2 (35 years old) still works perfect. It has the same features except the c02 and cal. as this new one has. My experience with wired sensors are more accurate and very consistent which you don't get with GPS models. My 10 mile ride over the years only varied maybe one or two bike lengths difference for distance and there is no wait time for GPS connection. I hope this one is the same, should be. FYI I still have my 40 year old Cateye solar, still works but not using. Con, You can't wear polarized sunglasses with the velo 9, my old Cateye Mity2 though works fine with polarized glasses and its a bit smaller also and also does not require replacing zipties when remounting.

For several years I had a Bell wired computer on my bike it was accurate and reliable. What I hated about it is if one held down one side of the bar button you lost all of your imputed info and you had to reprogram it. Don't know how many hours I have spent re-entering the info and it always seemed to happen at the most inconvenient times...like on a ride with friends. When it crapped out on me a few weeks ago bought a wireless computer which right out of the box did not work. Sent it back got another ..different brand. Same-o right out of the box did not work. Had about decided to go back to the wired Bell but it had low reviews and the I saw this Cat's Eye that had great reviews. So ordered it. Have been riding with it for a couple of weeks and the accuracy is right close to what my GPS reads. It gives me the important info like speed, time, distance, avg. speed, and max speed. Calories burned is not even close to what my GPS reads but then again there is not an option on the Cat's Eye to input age and weight. As for the Co2 thing don't know what that is. The best thing about this computer is it is dummy proof. By pushing the bar on the front you can scroll through the different parameters. If you hold the button down for a couple seconds you only delete all the info from that ride unlike the Bell.. You can't accidentally delete all the info you had to input manually. To delete the info you imputed you have to take the computer out of the holder and use the tip of a pen to mash the reset button on the back side of the computer.. I should never have to worry about loosing all my settings again. FYI. the set button is also on the back side of the computer. That took me a while to figure out as the instructions are a set of drawings. Easy enough to install if you have done a wired one before.,

It has all the basic functions most people want. I have several of the Velo7 for our family. This Velo9 I bought was the same price recently and had two more features. The carbon foot print and calories are just an automatic equation the unit computes and is likely not very accurate in real life, but who can tell. The two main attributes of this bike computer over many others (and I have had several over the years) is that it is easy to understand/read/reset and it does not lose your data easily by accident. The last bike computer I bought prior to this CatEye had a bigger display and had a night glow back light and more functions to keep me amused. But, I had trouble reading the small icon to see what function I was reading. I did not often use it in the dark and if I was in the wrong mode to resent my trip mileage I lost my YTD data. The Cateye with one long press of the one function button sets all your trip data back to zero. However, in order to erase your YTD mileage you must take the unit off its mount and press a reset button with a tooth pick to do that. Now I really appreciate the Cateye over other since I was losing my YTD data several times a season. I commute by bike all year long in the Chicago area. The computer will be covered in snow or ice at times or sitting out in the hot sun and it has not had a failure in two years. You can calibrate your unit by tire size or measure your wheel and enter that size for a more accurate speed and distance measures. It can be set for metric or English readouts. The only downside is you cannot reset individual functions. The reset button resets all ride functions at once, but that is a tradeoff for its simplicity. The only feature I would like to see is a back light for night, since I am often on the bike after dark.

with the advent of the USB charging craze it's getting hard to find the old "stick a battery in'em" devices. I'm not happy if I have to disconnect the unit, take it inside, put it charge and then remember to get it when I'm ready to ride again. With this unit the battery will last the entire season. I never have to worry about remembering the five steps to getting it back on my bike. I just get on and ride. That's the way it supposed to be. This unit provides 9 separate functions including all the critical ones: speed, ave speed, ride time, max speed and a bunch only biking geeks care about. The unit is simple to install and eaay to use. What more could I possible need. Oh, and it's dirt cheap. Thank you Cat Eye.

Easy to install and set up (tire circumference is important so be sure to follow instructions), it doesn't have a lot of the extra things that I don't need or want. The carbon and calories measurements don't really matter to me because there are a lot of variables that can impact them. It's easy to see what is on the screen and switching modes is very simple. It is accurate, I used GPS to check the speed and distance. It appears to be sturdy enough and the wire is solidly in place. I was a little disappointed by how thin the wires are compared to the device it was replacing. This is perfect if all you want are the basics.

For relatively little cost, this works well to track your speed on an indoor trainer. I mount my regular road bike to a Kinetic trainer for indoor workouts. In the photos you’ll see I mounted the computer pickup (normally mounted to the fork) to the left chainstay, ran the cable up the downtube and mounted the computer there. It does the job. Unfortunately, computer manufactures are dropping the ball far indoor cyclist. If they made one of these with an optional “long wire” we could mount the computer to our handlebars instead. I gave this four stars because a backlit screen would have been much nicer for indoor use.

Ya había tenido anteriormente uno de la misma marca, el cual dejo de funcionar después de varios años de uso, por lo que decidí comprar otro de la misma marca y hasta el momento me ha funcionado sin ningún problema, fácil de configurar e instalar, si lo volvería a comprar

Much easier to install than that of newer more sophisticated wireless speedometers/odometers. Hardly any variance between my GPS watch and the wheel sensors on my front fork, provided that diameter of the wheel was adequately measured to calibrate the unit. The wires are long enough not to hamper the movement of my handlebar. Great product at a great low price... Thank you Cat Eye for this return to basics that work fine!!

Easy to setup and use. Hopefully battery life will be good but too soon to say as I only just got it. Small with a clear screen to see current speed and other information.

✅ Stärken: Großes, gut ablesbares Display Einfache Montage und Bedienung 9 Grundfunktionen (Geschwindigkeit, Distanz, Uhrzeit, Kalorienverbrauch) Robust und zuverlässig Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ❌ Schwächen: Keine Beleuchtung (schwer ablesbar im Dunkeln) Kabelgebunden (keine kabellose Verbindung) Keine Smartphone-Anbindung oder GPS

I've just fitted my sixth Velo 9 to one of my bikes, so now all my bikes have one fitted. This last one was to replace a Cateye wireless computer I bought because it promised easier setting up and a cleaner look, there being no wires trailing about. It was a success on both counts. Less successful was when using my front light - the computer didn't work at all as presumably the light interrupted the signal. Then it stopped reading over 20 mph, so I just went ahead and replaced it with something I know works very well indeed - the Cateye Velo 9. Yes it's basic, but if like me all you really want to know is how far places are and your odo for each bike then this fits the bill. They seem pretty accurate speed and distance wise and are a doddle to programme in, including the wheel/tyre size. The only part I'd question would be the accuracy of the calory counter, but that's no biggie. On the whole then, I like these computers a lot!
