Computers - Cycling

The right cycling computer doesn't just tell you how fast you're going — it becomes the central nervous system of your training. The Computers - Cycling collection at RA Cycles covers 29 GPS devices from the three brands that define this category: Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead. Garmin's Edge lineup spans from the entry-level Edge 550 up to the touchscreen Edge 1050, covering everything from route navigation to advanced training metrics. Wahoo's Elemnt series — the Bolt 3, Roam 3, and flagship Ace — takes a cleaner interface approach and integrates tightly with third-party apps and sensors. Hammerhead's Karoo runs a full Android-based platform with a large display and a level of customization that rivals a dedicated sports device. Whether you're building a first training setup or upgrading to a device that keeps pace with your current fitness, this collection covers every rider level and budget.

About Cycling Computers

A cycling computer is the hub of your training ecosystem — connecting to power meters, heart rate monitors, speed and cadence sensors, and navigation platforms like Komoot and Strava. The decision between brands is less about basic functionality (all three covered here handle the basics well) and more about which ecosystem you want to commit to. Garmin's is the most mature and the deepest, with the widest app and sensor compatibility and a product range that scales from simple to professional. Wahoo integrates seamlessly with its own trainers and third-party hardware, and the Elemnt interface is consistently praised for its clarity at a glance. Hammerhead's Karoo runs Android, which means software updates independently of hardware — new features arrive without a new device.

The 29 products in this collection span every rider tier. The Garmin Edge Explore 2 suits riders who prioritize navigation over training metrics; the Edge 1050 is built for athletes who want detailed performance data and a large touchscreen. The Wahoo Elemnt Bolt 3 is the compact option for clean data at a glance; the Elemnt Ace brings a larger screen and expanded feature set. Hammerhead's Karoo offers maximum display real estate and ongoing software-driven improvements. The collection also includes the Shimano STEPS SC-E8000 for e-bike integration.
