Bike Computer For iPhone

Uniquely, this bike computer relies on an iPhone 4s or 5 for all of its data, pairing via bluetooth. As a result, it gives you access to smartphone features that rival systems don’t offer, most notably the ability to switch your iPhone’s music tracks wirelessly.

The RFLKT weighs about 60g, and the back slides into a panel attached to an O-ring, which fits around either the stem or the handlebar mount on your bike. (you won’t want to leave it in the mount, though, as it would make an attractive item for thieves – who could easily pry it out of the back panel.)

Wahoo fitness’s compatible iOS app tracks your workout time, distance travelled and speed; it can also connect with other sensors over bluetooth to display your heart rate, cadence, calories burned and more. by displaying all your ride data on the app, the RFLKT essentially turns your phone into a powerful bike computer capable of giving you a great deal of information.

Most the metrics were reliable, but we found a few hiccups when relying on the iPhone’s GPs to measure speed. while it was mostly accurate, a few times it reckoned we were travelling at nearmotorway speeds, and these blips threw off the workout’s top-speed measurement in the app. to measure speed accurately, you’ll need an additional peripheral device.

Handily, you can choose which of the RFLKT’s four buttons perform certain functions, such as changing the music track and switching between displays on the device.
