Computer

An XC mountain bike computer, also called an odometer or bike computer, is an electronic device mounted on the handlebars of a mountain bike that provides information about speed, distance traveled, elapsed time, and sometimes other relevant data for the cyclist. Here are its main functions and characteristics:

Function :

1. Speed ​​measurement:

The XC mountain bike computer measures the bike's moving speed in real time, allowing the rider to know their instantaneous speed at any time.

2. Tracking distance traveled:

The computer records the total distance traveled since the start of the ride or since the last reset, providing information on the total distance accumulated during a hike or mountain bike session.

3. Stopwatch:

It has a stopwatch function that records the time since the start of the ride, allowing the rider to track their ride duration or time specific segments of the ride.

4. Other Features:

Some XC mountain bike computers can also provide additional data such as altitude, temperature, pedaling cadence, heart rate (when used in conjunction with a heart rate sensor) and even GPS navigation in some more advanced models.

Features :

1. Display:

XC MTB computers are equipped with an LCD or LED screen that displays real-time data clearly and easily readable, even in varying light conditions.

2. Assembly:

They are usually attached to the ATV handlebars using specific brackets, ensuring secure installation and easy access while riding.

3. Connectivity:

Some XC mountain bike computers come with wireless connectivity features, allowing them to sync with external sensors such as speed sensors, pedaling cadence sensors, heart rate sensors or GPS sensors for expanded functionality .

4. Waterproofing:

They are often designed to be water and dust resistant, providing reliable protection against the elements and variable weather conditions encountered while XC mountain biking.
