CatEye Velo 5


The CatEye Velo 5 is a great cycling computer for a budget friendly price ($20-25), as an entry level cycling computer. It has 5 main functions, hence the name Velo 5. The different functions are Current speed, Distance done during current ride, Odometer, Max speed, and Clock. I've found that this is a great cycling computer and that it is very accurate. It is very easy to install, the only problem I ran into was that the zip ties that were included weren't the best quality, and they all snapped. Besides that it took minutes to install and program to the proper settings. Since I installed it, (about 2-3 weeks), I've put on close to 300km and it is working better than ever. I don't have anything to criticize except if you reset the distance from a previous trip, it also clears your max speed. Not a huge issue, but still fairly annoying in my opinion. In conclusion this is a great cycling computer for an everyday cyclist or commuter. It is reliable, boasting it's up to 3 year battery life, it is a very simple design and easy to use.
