Reviews over the
Sigma ROX 12.1 EVO GPS
4 / 5
Fine bike computer with great price/performance ratio!
Fine bike computer with lots of features. I had a Gramin Edge 100 before and could never find the right setting in the menus. For the Sigma, I haven't needed the manual once!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Find it a funny product.
It takes me a pretty long time to get everything right. But as an excuse I am 91 years old and so did not grow up with this stuff, but I got the whole thing going nicely. Just need to get a speed sensor because the speed it indicates (understandably) doesn't make sense.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine bike computer for recreational & sportive cyclist.
Having previously owned the Rox 12.0, I have owned the Rox 12.1 for a few weeks now. I have since cycled 450km with it and this is my experience with it: + Lots of sports profiles available + Many layouts available, which you can also set yourself + Linking Ant+ sensors is a piece of cake + GPS signal is quickly found. Even in the house + Excellent navigation + Screen size + Touchscreen responds well + Recalculating to route if you drive "wrong" is very fast + Operation with touchscreen and buttons! + Linking with Komoot and Strava very nice + USB-C connection + Energy-saving mode (useful if you stop a bit longer on the road) + Sigma Ride app - Touchscreen does not feel premium, rather plasticy. - Screen clarity/sharpness is mediocre. Can't match quality of modern smartphone. - During charging you cannot see % charged - No indication that device is 100% charged - Fast charging is not possible. - Rubber cover USB connector hangs loose quickly - Route list in Rox 12.1 becomes unclear if you put in too many routes. - It would be nice if you could sort the route list by Sport profile first and only then by name, distance etc. - Altitude profile gives a picture of the climb, not always accurate - Graphs of rides driven on device are unclear - POI "water points" missing - Dependent on smartphone to transfer routes to device - Carry strap actually just too short to attach easily to your handlebars as an extra safeguard against losses - So far had once that the GPS could not locate where I was exactly (Narrow valley in combination with lots of deciduous forest. Do other GPSs do that better, I don't know). ? Battery: with navigation and 2 ant+ sensors, 14 hours are achievable. Wonder how the battery will perform in 3 years. With the Rox 12.0, the battery deteriorated badly and I couldn't do without a powerbank on rides longer than 3.5 hours.
