Great device for the recreational cyclist

- Wiel, 10 July, 2023

This bike GPS computer works well, have been using it for 2 months now. Advantage is definitely the long battery life. Navigation works well, takes some getting used to the turn-by-turn navigation. It takes some puzzling to get all the settings right, the Dutch translation of the manual on the internet and the Dutch text in the Rider 420 are not always translated logically. Otherwise a great device, especially as it can be used while cycling without having to activate the Bryton app on the phone. Hope to enjoy it for a long time to come.

Pros & Cons

clearly readable screen
long battery life
no phone app needed while driving
User manual unclear

Great quality for this price

- Laura, 31 May, 2023

Works well, battery lasts a long time. Pairing with heart rate monitors etc goes very smoothly. I did the first update/sync with my computer via cable because it did not work via the app. Creating routes is very simple, but you have to sit down for a while in the beginning. Then it works great. Reading is sometimes difficult, especially on stretches where several streets meet. But as an extra support it is fine! All in all satisfied for this price!

Pros & Cons

Good overview
Quick to use
App could be better
Route reading sometimes a little difficult

Preparing for a long trip.

- Fred, 23 March, 2023

It counts heavily for me that Norton indicated that the firmware update was damaging the computer. Nevertheless, I completed the update and am now on Strava. I haven't entered any routes yet. It is my first bike navigation, price and battery life and crumb trail are my motives. It will work out.

Pros & Cons

Comes with holder and cable.
Good readability.
Substantial battery life.
Manual very small font.
Update firmware harmful to computer.

Surprisingly good for the money

- Erwin, 16 May, 2021

Previously, I navigated on my phone but had to carry a thick power bank. So I was looking for a bike computer mainly for navigating routes I create in Komoot. It had to be easy to operate, have a long battery life and be bug-free. It lived up to all that. Navigating without a map, using only a line, with the help of turn-by-turn directions and street names works fine. You don't actually need maps. I planned a test route of 80km with lots of turns, zigzagging through villages and it went very well. The Bryton app provides the route with turn-by-turn directions and street names. Not a single hickup, not once got stuck. Every turn well indicated. Great! What I also like is the neat little box: no waste of packaging material. It comes with several rubber mounting rings and a safety cord. The app on the phone is a bit straightforward but it all works well, with no bugs. In the app, you can very easily set the fields on the up to 7 (!) data screens. The device adopts these settings instantly, even while I'm doing this on the side, during an active ride. Integration with Komoot unfortunately only works 1 way: planned routes to the device do download but completed activities are not uploaded automatically, that has to be done manually. That's not a problem. With Strava, that also works automatically. During navigation, there are subtle chirps just before you need to turn. Very pleasant and clear. There are 2 buttons on the back: on/off/light and pause/stop. You won't need those while driving, so it's actually nice that they're on the back. You just have to remember which is which (but there are only two). Planning routes in the app itself is also possible and these can be downloaded directly to the device. Could be handy if you want to return home or something ? This little device is highly recommended for navigating routes !

Pros & Cons

accurate gps
easy to use
long battery life
starts up quickly
well readable and backlit screen
activities do not automatically go to Komoot

Value for money

- Paul, 14 April, 2021

The battery is fantastic, the device is super economical. The stats are customisable, besides you have the option to put simple schedules in the app. The UX of the iPhone app is ramshackle. Using the device itself is super simple. The button for illuminating the display is on the back, early in the spring that can be a bit tricky to press with gloves.

Pros & Cons

Battery life
Clear
Sync with iphone app

If you are looking for a good, functional and extremely affordable bike computer, the Bryton Ri

- Kevin, 11 April, 2021

The Bryton Rider 420 E is my first bike computer with GPS and I am totally positively surprised. It works immediately after start-up. The pages with lots of data can be set very easily via the mobile app.

Pros & Cons

Price-performance ratio
Simple operation
Synchronisation with mobile app

Does what it needs to do.

- Rene, 17 January, 2021

Works fine, navigation is clearly no map but in my opinion that is also not the way on a small screen, turn by turn is simple but clear.

Pros & Cons

Battery life
Clear screen

Good product

- Kyana, 11 November, 2020

A good product and easy to use. Disadvantage is that there are no streets with the navigation. So you really have to follow a line. Other than that a very good product for the price you pay.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful model
Clear layout
Easy to use
Long battery life
Waterproof
Mounting the support took some effort
Only a line at the navigation
Signal capture takes time

A lot for little

- Zwaan, 27 October, 2020

Top device, can do everything I was looking for. Why spend double on e.g. a Garmin when this device can do the same with double the battery life? I have many sensors connected to it such as heart rate, cadence and speed and it all works fine. The GPS speed of this device does not deviate from the calibrated sensor. So a speed sensor is unnecessary.

Pros & Cons

Affordable
Extensive functions
Long battery life
Screen easy to read
Works well
Function buttons at bottom sometimes hard to reach
Short learning curve mtb buttons a functions
Synct automatically, manual would be nicer for me
