We test the new Bryton Rider 750 – a killer Garmin/Wahoo?
The Bryton Rider 750 cycling computer was introduced in late 2020 as a model below the brand’s top-of-the-line Bryton Rider 860. But a cycling device with colour touchscreen, online route navigation and voice search that’s priced at less than €250 is clearly not just looking for a niche in Bryton’s own catalogue. This Rider 750 has arrived to compete directly with Garmin and Wahoo models several hundred euros more expensive, such as the Garmin 830, 1030 or the Wahoo Elmnt Roam. We report our experience with it and if it is really a threat to the top of the range of the competition.
We test the Bryton Rider 750: sophisticated in performance, affordable in price
Based in Taipei, Taiwan, Bryton has a wide range of cycling computers to suit most cyclists. But in a market dominated by Garmin and Wahoo, the Bryton Rider 750 has arrived to become a best-seller.
Key features of the Bryton Rider 750
The Bryton Rider 750 cycle computer is available in two versions, one (750E) which comes with the device along with two holders for 249.9€ and the other (750T) which also includes the pulse, speed and cadence sensors for 319.95€.
In both cases the bike computer is the same and the main features are a generous 2.8″ colour TFT LCD touch screen, support for all current satellite systems (GPS, Galilelo, Glonass, Beidou, QZSS), WiFi, ANT+ and Bluetooth connection for all types of sensors, Shimano Di2, e Tap and Campagnolo EpS electronic gears, and synchronisation with third party applications such as Strava, Training Peaks, Selfifloops, Komoot, etc.). It includes barometric altimeter and its declared (and tested) autonomy exceeds 20 hours.
Just with this it seems that there will be little more that a cyclist could demand from a cycling computer, but it also feels a robust device in the hand. It weighs 93g, has IPX7 certification (practically waterproof) and its stylised aesthetic with only two physical buttons integrated on each side is sober and elegant. On the back it hides the micro USB charging port protected by a rubber cover, and although the bracket to attach it to the handlebars looks identical to Garmin’s, it’s actually Bryton’s own.
But all this is just data and first impressions, so let’s see how it responded after quite a few outings over a little more than a month of use.
Riding with the Bryton Rider 750 on our handlebars
Knowing its features and the incredible price of this Bryton Rider 750 it was time to take a closer look at this GPS and see what it was hiding and where the trick was, if there is one.
It was enough to take the device out of the box, our version was the basic kit without sensors, to notice some considerations about this Rider 750. After turning it on and making the first language settings, etc. it is mandatory to download the Bryton app on our smartphone and update the GPS with the latest firmware version available (be careful because the app does not warn that there are updates available and you will have to look for them manually in the application). This first step already indicated something that we would verify over the days, it is a cycle computer that to get the most out of it will have to be connected to the phone. Something that nowadays happens with any device of this type.
Through the Bryton app you can upload routes and download activities to the Rider 750, configure it and get online navigation, among other applications. As we have already mentioned, it can also be synchronised with other apps such as Strava, where you can download routes or upload activities, but for the moment it is not compatible with Strava Live Segments.
Along with the device, the kit includes a safety lanyard, a rubber handlebar holder and a slimmer aluminium handlebar holder. So once everything was installed and the first configurations were done, it was time to go out and test it. And then came the first controversial point, the usability of the Bryton Rider 750.
Physical interaction with the computer can be done via the physical buttons and/or the touchscreen. The touch response feels a little clumsy when compared to any smartphone, but we know that would be an unfair comparison and the truth is that it works well, although with long gloves we prefer to use the physical buttons to navigate through the different screens. The option to lock the touchscreen operation is a plus point that on rainy days will prevent the device from going haywire.
The Rider 750 can host 3 different bike profiles and the connection to the different sensors as well as to the satellite has always been very fast in our tests.
With the physical interaction section out of the way, it’s time to talk about the interface itself. A very personal matter that will clearly be conditioned by each rider’s background. The system is obviously different to that of Garmin or Wahoo, both of which have advocates and detractors, so for those who come to Bryton after years of handling Garmin devices, for example, this interface may seem unintuitive. But again, if we put prejudices aside and try to be fair, the truth is that after a while operating the Bryton everything becomes much quicker.
Up to 12 different areas can be displayed on each screen and this configuration will again depend on personal taste and capabilities, but we found more than 7 fields too many to process the information at a glance.
For the latter, the Rider 750 includes a graphical format that we found to be exceptional for viewing data such as speed, heart rate or power. All data and display settings can be configured both on the device itself and on the mobile app. And despite the depth that can be reached by navigating the device, we also found the ability to return to the home screen with a single touch to be a great feature.
If we talk about navigation we come to a decisive issue for many when it comes to buying one of these Bryton 750 and we can already tell you that it does its job well. The navigation screen has surprised us with its clarity and both the location and the slopes have been accurate during our tests, even in the mountains and through wooded areas. But when it came to zooming in and out we found the device lacked a bit of power to move the maps quickly, nothing you can’t get used to except if you’re overly impatient.
By the way, the screen looks quite sharp and only in bright light at noon did we miss a bit more contrast.
The route navigation works perfectly with previously loaded tracks, as does the turn-by-turn warning system. Although you should bear in mind that if you load the route from Strava it won’t have the turn-by-turn navigation function unless you first run it through the Bryton app. The OSM maps included are updated regularly depending on the area, but we found them to be very correct. This is because we also received criticism from Garmin users who had never tried other types of maps before.
When the route is not loaded and we use online navigation to get to a destination, the device works perfectly as long as it has a bluetooth connection to the smartphone and the smartphone has a stable data connection. The same requirements apply to voice search.
Because if you were wondering, voice search does indeed work correctly on the Rider 750. In our tests we used voice search to tell the computer that we wanted to get to locations such as petrol stations, bakeries, pharmacies or a nearby town, and after a few seconds it always returned a correct route with subsequent navigation to it. We have to say that in our case we don’t see voice search as a necessity in this type of device and we tested it specifically to see how it worked.
Although we haven’t mentioned it yet, the 750 displays all kinds of notifications you receive on your phone, including Whatsapp notifications, and is compatible with Garmin’s Varia system and smart turbo trainers. On the smart turbo trainer you can also activate the virtual routes function.
Regarding the battery life, we have been able to verify in several rides that it has no problem in reaching 20 hours with several sensors connected and even navigating with loaded routes. On the other hand, you should bear in mind that if you use online navigation, the battery will be consumed much sooner as you will have to be permanently connected to the phone.
Final conclusions on the Bryton Rider 750
After more than a month of use with the Bryton Rider 750 we can affirm that this is a unique cycling computer in the market, there is nothing so complete for that price. Again we remind you that for under €250 it offers a large touch screen, online navigation, synchronisation with the main external apps and compatibility with electronic drivetrain systems, smart turbo trainers and all kinds of sensors.
In our test, the only two objective criticisms we could make were the lack of fluidity in some operations such as the zoom on the map or the tactile response. Even so, we don’t know if they could be resolved in a future update, as the computer gave us some errors at the beginning that were solved simply by updating the firmware the first time. In our opinion, the pace of updates and improvements to both the Bryton app, some user reviews focus on it, and the device itself will accelerate as more cyclists get it. Nothing that can’t be fixed with a minimum of patience and a reminder that this device is half the price of the Garmin 1030 or several hundred euros less than the Wahoo Elmnt Roam or Garmin 830.
It is a cycling computer that is set to become a best-seller and in 2021 we could see how far it is capable of going.
First Look | Is Bryton’s Rider 750 a Garmin Edge 830 rival?
Bryton’s brand-new Rider 750 is a GPS bike computer with a 2.8in colour touchscreen and a unique selling point in the form of voice search navigation.

Priced at £219.95 / $269.95 or £289.95 / $349.95 with speed, cadence and heart rate sensors, the Rider 750 has a feature set comparable to Garmin’s Edge 830, but costs significantly less.
It takes over from the Rider 860 as the brand’s flagship, promising greater functionality and better battery life in a lighter package, while sticking with the same screen size.
Garmin long dominated the GPS bike computer market before Wahoo arrived on the scene as a genuine rival. Could the Rider 750 now also bring Bryton to the fore?

Unboxing the Bryton Rider 750
Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media
The Rider 750T bundle we have here includes the same accessories and also adds in speed, cadence and heart rate sensors.
The Rider’s mounting interface is a quarter-turn design and bears a strong resemblance to Garmin’s, but isn’t actual identical.
The out-front mount weighs 31g on my scales, while the speed sensor is 14g and the cadence sensor is 10g.

Recharging is via a micro-USB port hidden under a flap on the back of the unit. Incidentally, the Rider 750 has an IPX7 waterproof rating, which means it should withstand immersion in a metre of water for 30 minutes.
Bryton Rider 750 features and navigation
Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media
The Rider 750 is pitched as a premium device with the ability to display an immense range of metrics, plus navigation.
According to Bryton, it features a new graphical user interface that’s designed to be intuitive, and which offers a dashboard style graphics in addition to conventional data fields. Up to eight pages of data are available, each displaying up to 12 fields.
There are three customisable riding profiles, so you can tailor the setup to different disciplines, or even to specific bikes.
The Rider 750’s navigation is based on Open Street Maps, which it displays in full colour.
Its unique selling point is the voice search, which means you can speak the name of a destination into the device rather than trying to type it in a tiny virtual keyboard.
As with the competition, you can also ride pre-planned courses.
Bryton Rider 750 connectivity
Like every fancy GPS on the market, the Rider 750 needs to be paired with a phone to unlock its full potential.
Bryton has its own Active app for iOS and Android, which lets you manage your device, plan rides and link to third-party apps such as Strava.
While you can perform most actions via the device itself, much of the Rider 750’s functionality is mirrored by the app (e.g. customising data screens), and some things will be easier using your phone’s interface rather than the device’s.
The Rider 750 also has a full complement of Bluetooth, ANT+ and WiFi capabilities, meaning it’ll work with all manner of external sensors.
In addition, ANT+ FE-C capability means it can connect to smart trainers and control them, for example if you want to do a structured workout. The Rider 750 can also connect to Di2, eTap and EPS electronic groupsets to display drivetrain-related data.
Bryton Rider 750 first impressions
Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media
On the face of it, the Rider 750 seems to offer a huge feature-set for the money.
The plastic used in its construction feels a little cheaper than that of Garmin, but overall the unit feels solid and well made, and the supplied mount is super stiff and pleasingly unobtrusive.
Installing and pairing sensors appears mostly straightforward, although for reasons not immediately apparent my test unit recognised the speed and cadence sensor instantly, but took its time with the heart rate monitor.
That speed sensor straps around the body of your front hub by the way, while the cadence sensor attaches to the non-driveside crank arm.
Both install in a matter of seconds and, with no cable ties or adhesives used, they can be removed equally quickly.

Which GPS cycle computer is best for climbing? Garmin v Hammerhead v Bryton
Whether you’re looking to attack up a climb or merely survive any severe inclines, knowing what climbs are coming up a ride and how the gradient varies across each is incredibly useful. Climb-specific data screens or overlays with colour-coded elevation profiles are now included on Garmin, Hammerhead and Bryton cycle computers… but how can they help, and what are the differences between the three brands?
Cycle computers have long had basic elevation profiles, and you could always customise your standard data screens to display metrics that are useful to see when climbing, such as elevation gain and distance to the peak. Now though, many have dedicated screens that truly focus on delivering all the important information you need.
Detecting climbs, the specific climbing screen pops up with information that’s designed to provide you with details on your progress up the climb. It can help you judge how to pace it up the ascent you’re currently on, while also giving you details on how many more climbs you are going to face on the ride.
Garmin has its ClimbPro on Edge 1030, 830 and 530 devices, Hammerhead’s is called Climber and it appears on the Karoo 2, and Bryton is the most recent brand to introduce its version, Climb Challenge, with the launch of the performance S500 cycle computer.
I went out on my local testing ground in South Wales with my bars much more cluttered than usual – I had the Hammerhead Karoo 2, Bryton S500 and Garmin 530 all mounted and with their climb-specific features turned on to spot the differences and find out how they all really perform.
As well as looking at what’s on offer from the different brands, below we’re also delving into how you can make best use of each climbing feature by understanding all the adjustments you can make to suit your needs.
If you don’t currently own a device with a climbing feature, this guide shows what the additional prompts are and the benefits of this for your riding. Whether you love or hate hills, it’s incredibly useful to know about the climbs.
How to know what’s coming up in the ride
Total elevation gain can give you some idea of how hilly a ride is going to be, but it doesn’t tell you how this elevation is split up. If you are scrolling through your saved routes on your device before deciding which one to go for, it could be useful to see how many significant climbs there are or if it’s a ride with more rolling terrain.
Viewing all the climbs on your device before you even set off for a ride is possible with both Garmin and Bryton.
Garmin lists the climbs, providing details on ‘distance to’, average ‘grade’ and ‘length’, plus you can click on each to see a colour-coded elevation profile. Bryton does the same, but just with the elevation profiles all on the same screen.
Whereas with Hammerhead’s Climber you can’t view the climbs before starting a ride, but as you cycle along (when not currently on a climb) you can swipe all the way up to view the upcoming climbs list with the distance to the start of each, as well as the average gradient and length too.
Just one thing to be aware of… as you are only given the distance that currently stands between you and where the climb begins, if you want to know how much recovery time you have between the summit of one climb and the beginning of the next, you’ll have to do some mental maths.
While riding along with Garmin, the ‘out of climb’ screen displays total ascent remaining and the total climb distance remaining, which is useful for quickly understanding if the upcoming climbs that are listed are small ones or big ones that add up to a lot of elevation gain remaining or if it’s just a lot of slogging it on drags or gradual gradients (around 3% or 4%). Then in the list, you’ve got the same details you can see before the ride began – remaining distance to each climb, average gradient and length.
Alerts as you approach the beginning of the climb
The devices can alert you in the immediate lead up to the climb so you have time to take a final sip of water if you desire and ready yourself for the effort.
You can ride along with your usual data screens displayed, as both the Hammerhead and Garmin provide you with a notification a few seconds or around 500 feet before the climb begins.
On this alert, Hammerhead gives you a basic reminder of what’s coming up, telling you the distance in length and elevation to the top, and which climb it is out of how many in total, eg. ‘Starting Climb: 3 of 5’.
Garmin gives you essentially its upcoming ClimberPro screen including similar details to the Hammerhead like ‘Climb 3/5’ but with the climb starting distance at the bottom instead of the two customised data fields. On Garmin’s devices this alert can also be deactivated.
With Bryton’s Climb Challenge, you don’t get a notification as such but you can swipe to the Climb Challenge page which counts down the distance to the start as soon as the last climb has ended.
What and how is it displayed on the climb
The Karoo 2 has a large 3.2inch display and therefore it has enough space on the screen for the Climber feature to pop up as an overlay. Swiping up from the bottom will bring the overlay up and it can be hidden when not needed by swiping down – very quick and easy to use.
With Garmin and Bryton, both use a separate screen rather than an overlay. You can swipe away from it and then back to it as you wish, but if you have a lot of different display screens turned on that can take a little longer.
Hammerhead’s Climber gives details on distance and elevation gain remaining to the top.
Garmin also displays those details, but Garmin’s ClimberPro also has two data fields at the bottom and these can be customised. Bryton’s Climb Challenge has even more with its four data fields, but I’ve yet to discover how to customise these.
Hammerhead’s overlay only covers around a third of the screen, so if you set up the device so you have the data fields you desire most across the top half of the screen in your usual display you are sorted with plenty of detail when the pop up covers up the lower part.
I found the Hammerhead’s overlay was the easiest to live with – when the overlay does appear it doesn’t just get rid of all the metrics you are keen to regularly see, you still can see those at the top of the screen. It’s less disruptive and it’s also super quick to swipe up to view the climbing details or get rid of them if you’re focused on another aspect at that time.
As well as the data fields, a big portion of all the climbing screens/overlays is how the gradient is depicted…
Yes to colour-coded elevation profiles
Okay so the absolute best thing that each of these climb-specific screens provide is a lovely coloured line graph.
An average gradient percentage really doesn’t give the whole picture for a climb – there can be steeper sections and much shallower ones, and it can make a huge difference to your pacing. This is especially helpful for the climbs that lead you into a false sense of security with a nice gentle start which is irresistible to push up, and then, BAM, 20%. Mood spoiler, for sure.
To clearly differentiate the varying gradients across the climb, Hammerhead splits each ascent into 100 metre segments and colour-codes each to its average gradient. There are seven colours which range from less than 4.6% to greater than 23.5%, with the colder green shades indicating the shallower sections and the warmer purple shades representing the steeper gradients.
With the climb split into such small segments, it really does feel like an accurate representation of the part of the ascent you are suffering on there and then, as well as the tarmac you can see just ahead of you and that you’re about to deal with.The colours are very bright and clear on the screen and so it’s easy to see, even when you’re digging deep and finding it hard to concentrate.
The Hammerhead breakdown is a follows:
The breakdown of Garmin’s ClimbPro is tighter at the lower end up to 12%, with each colour covering an average gradient within a 3% range, whereas the Hammerhead range varies between 2.9% to 4.9%.
But Hammerhead provides greater detail on the steepest of inclines. Anything above an average gradient of 12% gets Garmin’s deepest red shade, whereas with Hammerhead, as well as a ‘peach’ shade for 12.6% to 15.5%, there are another three colours, with the tippy top one representing nasty gradients of more than 23.5%. Ouchie and yes, I’ve been very grateful to know about this with one particular climb near me in South Wales that really, really ramps up just around a bend, trying to catch you out!
Garmin uses slightly fewer colours, five – the breakdown on the large 1030 plus screen clearly shows the differences.
However, on the smaller Garmin Edge 830 and 530 screens, the segments are much smaller and this difference really does feel like it blurs the reality and wasn’t incredibly useful (albeit from the perspective of someone who has grown used to seeing the profile on the larger Karoo 2 screen).
The Bryton S500 has a similar sized screen to the Garmin Edge 830 and 530 and also seems to use five colours to point out the easier and harder sections of the climb.
I found that Bryton’s Climb Challenge tended to break down the climb into slightly more detail than the Garmin Edge 530 – often where Edge 530 just showed the elevation profile in one colour, the Bryton had split it into four separate coloured sections.
But the Bryton’s elevation profile is a bit small on the screen so it’s harder to really spot the differences.
Having the elevation profile broken down into different coloured sections is certainly great for easily understanding what to expect across the whole climb.
How much to go?
Okay so, as you’re suffering on a climb one thing that you’re really gonna want to know is how much further until it’s over and you can catch your breath.
You’ll find a sizeable symbol along with a vertical line clearly showing you where you are on the colour-coded elevation profile on each device. It shows your current location compared to what you’ve completed and what’s to come – useful stuff!
While on the climb, Hammerhead, Garmin and Bryton all display the distance left to the top of the climb as well as the metres of elevation left to crest the climb.
All of the devices also tell you which climb you are on and out of how many. Being able to stay on track of how much suffering you’re yet to face can help you pace the climb you are currently on. It’s hard to keep count yourself so this little detail is genuinely really useful.
How big is the climb?
Choosing how sensitive you want the device’s automatic climb detection to be is possible with both Hammerhead and Garmin. You can select either ‘all climbs’, ‘medium and/to large climbs’, or ‘large climbs only’.
For a climb to be detected when ‘all climbs’ is selected, Hammerhead confirms that the climb needs to be at least 400m in length and have an average gradient of 3%. For Garmin the average gradient must also be 3%, but it must be a little longer in length, 500m.
Hammerhead doesn’t share the exact formula used, but the threshold is a product of both distance and gradient. The brand does give examples which show that both steep and short climbs, along with shallow and long hills can count as the same category of hill; a 10% gradient for 400m is a medium hill as is a 4% grade for 1000m.
The threshold for a medium hill is approximately 1.5 times that of a small hill. A large hill’s threshold is just over three times that of a small hill.
With Garmin’s ClimbPro, the climb distance (in metres) is multiplied by the average gradient (%), and this must be greater than 1500 if climb detection is set to show ‘all climbs’, more than 3500 for ‘Medium-Large Climbs’ (which is the default setting) and more than 8000 for ‘Only Large Climbs’.
While Bryton doesn’t have a quick way of automatically adjusting the parameters for the climbs detected, it does give you greater customisation…
Adjusting the climb’s that appear and the start/end points
If you are using Bryton’s Climb Challenge, you have plenty of controls to adjust the climbs that appear so you can really target the climbs you wish to.
On the Bryton Active app, if you load up a route you can click on the tab ‘climbs’ and see at what distance the climb begins on the route, the length of the climb and the total elevation gain of each.
Bryton allows you to remove a climb and also add climbs. You can also adjust the start and end point – the app displays the elevation profile and the map at the same screen which means you can see where the road tilts upwards and where this is in relation to the junctions on the map.
For those who are just looking to survive up a climb it’s probably useful to see absolutely all climbs, but if you are looking to really attack specific climbs for training intervals it may be more important to you to only be notified about the section of the climb that doesn’t include any right hand turns or T-junctions or roundabouts.
With Hammerhead’s version, climbs are only calculated from the route and map data. It is not possible to remove a qualifying climb and in the event that there is a problem with the data or the climb doesn’t quite qualify and isn’t detected, it cannot be added. Similarly, start and end points for climbs cannot be adjusted.
The same applies to Garmin – only certain climbs that meet the criteria will count as a climb and there’s no scope for customising the start/end points.
If you are looking to really finetune your uphill efforts on a ride Bryton certainly gives you greater control, but if you just want to ride and go, Hammerhead’s and Garmin’s three-tier setting option offers a quick way of tailoring those displayed.
When are climbs detected?
Hammerhead has just launched (today) its ‘Predictive Path Technology’ on the Karoo 2 which allows riders to gain the benefits of the Climber feature and see the upcoming gradient without having to upload a route. Previously the feature could only detect climbs on regular routes, routes to Points of Interests and reroutes. But now you can just go exploring and the device will predict the climbs along the way – no nasty surprises!
It basically works out if there are any climbs on the road you are currently riding on. I tested it out pre-launch and can report back that it works just as Hammerhead says. Obviously if you decide to, for example, take a right turn off the road the climb is currently on then you’ll only have completed part of the climb that it will be displaying. Or you may find that the road you’ve turned onto has an even bigger climb than the climb you were currently on and so you’ve overcooked it. But the Karoo 2 at least quickly identifies this and will pop up with a new version so you now know what to expect. You don’t quite get the same overall picture of how much climbing you’ve got in one continuous section (across junctions and roads), but it is very helpful for tackling the climb just in front of you.
With Garmin, climbs are detected when you are following a course or navigating to, for example, a saved location. The same applies to Bryton’s version.
Which is best?
If you’re truly looking to customise which climbs you want to know about on a ride to perhaps use the feature for targeting climbs or specific portions of it for training efforts, Bryton’s Climb Challenge will cover you best here. It allows you to add or remove climbs, as well as adjust the start and end points.
For those who’d prefer to just select a particular setting to finetune whether all climbs, medium and big ones or just the monster inclines appear, Hammerhead and Garmin both have quick ways of adjusting this.
Then, if you just enjoy exploring and discovering new places without following a particular route, Hammerhead’s new predictive technology will serve you best.
Bryton Rider 750 review
The Rider 750 does just about everything anyone could ask for from a head unit. The UI is still a sticking point for Bryton, but it also costs less than its competitors

Garmin has long been the 800-pound gorilla in the GPS cycling computer market since it launched the Edge 500. More recently, Wahoo has been hot on its heels challenging for market dominance, and smaller Taiwanese outfit Bryton has been slowly chipping away with value for money head units with long battery life and lots of features.
The Bryton Rider 750 slots in as the brand’s best cycling computer, filling the void left by the recently discontinued 850. With a colour touch screen, Bluetooth, ANT+ and WiFi connectivity, preloaded base maps and more, it’s a fully-featured computer. But the field of full-featured head units is becoming increasingly crowded, and it’s becoming more difficult to find a point of difference among the best cycling computers.
Design and aesthetics

The Rider 750 has a similar look to the budget-friendly Rider 420, albeit with a larger screen and more ergonomic button layout. The 2.8in screen is full colour and supports a new ‘Graphic User Interface’, which uses colours to quickly communicate HR and power zones on graphic metrics, and makes the maps easier to read too.
While there is a touch screen, there are two buttons on either side for power, start/stop, laps, and switching through data pages — the latter can also be done through a swipe. The graphics are clear and easy to read in full sun, though the screen’s shiny finish does pick up some glare.
There is a touch of lag in the user interface, whether you’re tapping something on the screen or one of the buttons on the side, the Rider 750 needs to think about it for a moment before it takes any action. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just something that takes a bit of getting used to and did cause some misfires the first few rides.
The top field is a graphical power field that changes color based on what power zone you’re hitting (Image credit: Colin Levitch)
The computer has access to the GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS satellite networks and has support for connection to Bluetooth and ANT+ sensors, including power meters, electronic drivetrains and radars like the Garmin Varia. The computer also sees ANT+ FE-C capabilities and can control your smart trainer should you want to run your indoor rides from your head unit.
If you want to take your workout into the great outdoors, the computer will guide your intervals, which can be created in the app or synced from Training Peaks.
With all this wireless connectivity, the Rider 750 conducts ride uploads and firmware updates without the need for a cable and plays nice with third-party apps like Strava and Training Peaks.
With a claimed battery life of 20-hours, the computer tracks 85-metrics including advanced fields like normalised power, and each data screen can show up to 12 fields.
Ride experience
The app may feel a bit clunky, but it does work pretty well and makes setup a breeze (Image credit: Colin Levitch)
Before taking the Rider 750 for its inaugural outing, you’ll want to get everything set up, which is done through the Bryton Active Companion App. Working similarly to Wahoo, everything can be customized through the app, including data screens, satellite networks and pairing with sensors. A minor nitpick, when you add or subtract a data field, they all snap back to the default settings, so you have to go back through and reselect each one. In all honesty, this is a minor inconvenience and is still easier than setting up data fields on the device itself.
Over the years, Bryton’s UI and some of the way things are presented haven’t always been the most intuitive. It’s improved as the brand has matured, but there are still a few little quirks. For example, instead of the play button symbol used to denote which button starts your ride they use the circle record emblem (but the play icon appears on the screen) and in the app to set up your screens, you’ll tap grid settings instead of metrics or data fields. These aren’t necessarily bad things; they’re just different from the norm.
The computer comes with your standard rubber band mounts, as well as sturdy aluminium out in front mount. The startup is quick, and the computer picks up GPS in my driveway faster than both a Garmin Edge 1030+ and Wahoo Elemnt Bolt.

One of the main selling features of the Rider 750 is the navigation, not only having pre-loaded base maps but the ability to voice search locations and points of interest. You’ll need to have the app open on your phone to use the feature, and it works really well, and even my hybrid American/Aussie accent didn’t cause it to stumble. If you’re not searching out a cafe or specific location and instead are looking to ride a loop with turn-by-turn directions, routes can be automatically synced from Strava, Komoot or Ride with GPS, or created directly on in the app.
When you leave the route-finding to the app or the computer itself, the computer opts for more direct routes following main roads, sometimes bypassing super popular safe opinions that may only be a block or two away. Where I live and ride on Australia’s Gold Coast, the Darren Smith Memorial Route – one of the most popular riding routes in the area – runs parallel to the much-less-safe Gold Coast Highway. This has long been my test for cycling computers’ routing capabilities, and the Bryton – like both Garmin (with its fancy Trendline Route finding) and Wahoo – opts to guide you down the Gold Coast Highway — only the Lezyne Mega XL has nailed the brief.
With a power meter, heart rate monitor, Varia Radar connected and running navigation, I wasn’t quite getting the claimed 20-hours battery life, with the device asking for a charge after about 15-hours.
Verdict
(Image credit: Colin Levitch)
The first Bryon computer to ever come across my desk was the Rider 310, back in 2016. Since then, the brand’s head units have been on a steady path up in terms of usability, functionality and reliability. Where it used to take an hour to sync a ride to the Bryton app over Bluetooth, now it’s hit Strava and Training Peaks before I’ve taken my riding shoes off.
There are still a few quirks in the UI, and coming from using Wahoo and Garmin units there is a bit of a learning curve. That said, through my test period, I didn’t lose a ride, or have a sensor that didn’t pair straight away or data that refused to sync from the app to the head unit — this is more than I can say for any Garmin computer I’ve ever used.
Priced at $270 / £249.99 / AU$429 for the base model (there is a bundle available for ($ 350/ £299.99 / AU$550 that includes a heart rate monitor, speed and cadence sensor) it’s cheaper than comparable units, the Garmin Edge 830 and Wahoo Elemnt Roam.
The Bryton is a little bit harder to learn than the Edge and Elemnt units, but I think the difference in price more than makes up for it.

Bryton Rider 750 Review: Colour Touchscreen GPS At A Garmin-Beating Price?
Behold my full review of the Bryton Rider 750 bike GPS, brought to you in ALL the formats:
Mega video review; and
Full blog post with all the details (currently in note/bullet point form but I will build it out)
Good news: you don’t have to read/watch all them. Just pick the one that suits you best.
So what are we talking about?
Well, the Rider 750 is Bryton’s brand new top of the range bike computer. It has a colour touchscreen and has all the onboard navigation whizzbangery seen on the higher end Garmins (the Edge 830 and 1030/Plus) and Wahoos (the ELEMNT ROAM). But the price has been set at a very competitive level (well below any of these competitors).
Indeed, in price terms it competes with (and beats) the Edge 530 – a fine device, but one without ‘proper’ navigation and no touchscreen.
Bryton GPS devices have historically been a bit clunky in the usability department versus Wahoo and Garmin. How does the Rider 750? Read on Macduff and you’ll find out.
(Note: I also published an extensive ‘first look’ video and a YouTube ‘short’ review (i.e. less than 60 seconds), both of which are available on this blog post.)
Bryton Rider 750 Full Video Review – After Two Months Of Extensive Use
Please remember to like the video
Bryton Rider 750 Review: Summary Blog Post
What is it?
Fully featured bike GPS with onboard navigation and a colour touchscreen.
Sits at the top of the range of Bryton bike computers, despite it having a lower model number than the previous range topper, the Rider 860.
Price
Device only is £225 / $270.
With the HRM and speed and cadence sensors it costs £290 / $350.
The Rider 750 represents a lot of bike computer (essentially, premium features) for a mid-level price.
Look and Feel
Sleek and modern.
Two buttons on each side
USB charging point on the back with a rubberised cover to protect it from the elements (but not the ELEMNTs har har har….er, ha).
Size and weight
It ways 93 or 94g, which is neither here nor there
Size wise – get a ruler out
Compare it with other bike computers and phone
Screen
Nice and bright
I have found it clear and easy to read
Contrast is not as strong as, say, the ELEMNT BOLT. Even with full brightness on, which may reduce battery life, it is not as clear in really bright conditions.
As alluded to, though, this hasn’t caused me any issues when riding.
Touchscreen
My first and only touchscreen bike GPS so not sure what to expect.
It is great to have the combination of touchscreen and physical buttons
Makes certain tasks, eg. changing data fields on the fly quick and intuitive, with minimal button presses
In finger mode, not as refined as a smartphone.
But is marginally more likely to work with gloves on versus my iphone. Even then, it doesn’t always responded to a be-gloved swipe.
The App
These days the app is almost as important as the GPS device
You use it to: Upload and store your ride data Sync said ride data with Strava, Trainingpeaks and whoever the Rod Hull ‘Selfloops’ are Create routes or sync them from Strava/RideWithGPS/Komoot Create workouts and send them to the Rider 750 device Change the settings on the device
The Bryton Active app is getting better as time goes on – it used to be very quirky. Now it is mildly quirky. It seems reasonably stable – it only crashed once
Computing Power
The Rider 750 takes 10-15 seconds to boot up, which I suppose isn’t out of kilter with similar Garmins and Wahoos.
Clearly it’s not an iPhone – but then an iPhone battery won’t last for 20 hours if you try to use it for GPS navigation or to record your ride on the Strava app.
Generally there isn’t much lag for standard features – certainly in the acceptable range for a bike computer. The mapping screen is slow to load up and there is a ‘Processing’ alert each time you press to zoom in or out.
The lack of computing umph does show up when the Rider 750 is planning a route and when you are zooming in/out or moving around the map.
Sometimes the device can require two swipes with my finger to get it to move on to the next screen but who knows if that’s the device CPU stopping to think or my finger not being conductive enough.
General usability
Garmins and Wahoos are a bit cleaner and more intuitive, both when using the device directly or interacting with it via the smartphone partner app.
For instance, neither the Rider 750 device nor the Bryton companion app is particularly proactive in telling you that there’s a firmware update is available. It’s only through selecting the data sync option (essentially forcing a data sync) from time to time do you discover there is one to download
Data screens and fields
Loads of different potential data fields can be displayed – I think up to 99 if you have the requisite data sensors and connections
In addition to number and text fields, there are a few cool graphical fields – like a speedometer dial display that shows current and average speed in a circular chart format and a heart rate chart displayed over time.
You can have up to 12 data fields shown in a grid on up to 4 standard data pages, plus a maps page and an elevation one. That is a lot of flexibility. Even with 10 data fields showing, it is easy to read all of the information when riding.
Whether your brain can interpret all that data is for you and your brain to decide.
Changing settings
Can either be done in the app or on the device – very flexible compared to my Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT , where you are limited on what you can change on the device, with the majority of settings changed via the app. This is a hassle if your phone is in your back pocket. Rider 750 settings, most importantly the data fields being displayed, can be changed directly on your handlebars using the touchscreen.
, where you are limited on what you can change on the device, with the majority of settings changed via the app. This is a hassle if your phone is in your back pocket. Rider 750 settings, most importantly the data fields being displayed, can be changed directly on your handlebars using the touchscreen. Less of a win versus Garmin Edges, where the majority of settings can be changed on the device. However, the combination of the physical buttons and the touchscreen makes for an intuitive and easy approach to changing, say, data fields on the fly.
Strava integration
The Rider 750 integrates with Strava in the sense you can sync the Bryton app with your Strava account and automatically upload ride data as soon as you’re finished, as well as download routes created in Strava.
It does not have a specific integration with, say, Strava Live Segments in the same way that, say, the Garmin Edge 530 or the Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT does.
Other Integrations
Whilst we’re talking about ‘integrations’ let’s talk about a what else the Rider 750 can connect to and interact with.
It connects to all the standard data sensors – HRM, speed/cadence, power meter.
ANT+ sensors only? The box suggests it works with BLE sensors but the recently uploaded comparison chart on the Bryton website shows a dash in this box where other computers in the Rider range support BLE heart rate and speed cadence sensors –
We mentioned Strava already. The Rider 750, via the Bryton Active app, can upload ride data and download routes (and maybe workouts?) from a number of other software platforms: Komoot, RideWithGPS, Training Peaks and something called Selfloops. No me neither.
Smart trainers via the ANT FE-C protocol – not able to test this because I don’t have one. You can either manually control the resistance on your trainer from the device, or have the device follow a workout or mimic a previous actual ride you have recorded.
Electronic gear systems – Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap, CAMPAGNOLO EPS
Radar
Routes and Navigation
You can create a route using the Bryton app (or sync one from another ride creation app). So far so standard.
More interestingly, using only the Rider 750 device, you can use the voice navigation feature to say the name of a place which it will then create a route to.
I have not used this feature extensively, mainly because I ride locally where I know the roads. If I’m creating a route for leisure purposes, I like to select the specific roads
However, the voice recognition software does seem accurate. It identified correctly all the random place names I spoke into it and seemed fine creating a route to a town 8 miles from where I live (albeit the route went down the main road, whereas the cycle setting on Google Maps would take me on a quieter route).
The Rider 750 was also able to create a route to Nottingham, some 30 miles from my house, although it took about 30-40 seconds of processing time. The device managed to avoid sending me down the big dual carriageway (two lane highway for Amerifolk), which is the most direct (and dangerous) route, so that’s a win.
When I tried to get it to navigate to my home town, 108 miles away, it juddered and it processed, then it got stuck and maybe crashed. I’d suggest this feature is not really suited to long-distance route creation but would be useful for shorter routes you want to create on the fly.
One thing to note – for the voice search function, the device needs to be connected to the Bryton app via Bluetooth and then the phone needs to be connected to the internet – otherwise you get a repeated annoying notification to make sure the Bryton app is active.
I think otherwise the navigation, and the re-routing, works without the phone being connected, not that this is a particular issue other than in scenarios where I run out of phone battery mid-ride.
Battery life
Bryton says 20 hours
No way I’m getting near that on a single ride, or even 3-4 excursions in a row.
Doesn’t ‘feel’ like the battery is reducing particularly quickly. Certainly sufficient such that I’ve gone large multiple of rides without thinking about it, then, when suddenly thinking about charging it, the battery indicator bar is still above half.
I can’t get it to show a %age figure – just a graphical battery symbol – so more difficult to judge the amount of charge left versus other bike GPSs
Recording ride data
Generally good. Seems accurate enough for my purposes, though it’s not like I have a protocol for measuring these things. A quick comparison of similar routes recorded with the Rider 750 and the ELEMNT BOLT and then uploaded to Strava showed no discernible difference. Both of them had the orangey-red Strava route tracking closely enough with the Derbyshire windy roads shown on the map, even when zoomed in close.
I did have one incident, where the Rider 750 crashed towards the end of a longish ride (possibly because it was so cold – sub-zero taking into account the wind chill). Initially it said the file was corrupted and I couldn’t sync it with the app or Strava.
Eventually I downloaded the corrupted file by attaching the Rider 750 device to my computer via a USB cable and manually copying it across. I then ran the file through the ‘Corrupt Time Fixer’ option on the FIT File Tools website. I am not sure what inspired me to think this might be the issue, but it clearly was, as the file no longer seemed to be corrupted and I was able then to upload the FIT file directly to Strava.
The Rider 750 did finish recording the ride at the point I remember the screen freezing (perhaps literally), but luckily this was within a kilometre of my house. I’d probably have been less impressed if the (device) crash had occurred midway through.
Uploading ride data
Dead easy. Press the button on the side to stop the ride, tap the button on the screen that says ‘Save it’, and then it gets automatically uploaded to the Bryton app and onwards into the velosphere – specifically in my case Strava.
Surprisingly Useful Features
The Rider 750 has a couple of random quirky features that Bryton makes no fuss of whatsoever but are actually useful and, as far as I know, not seen on other devices:
Notifications Include WhatsApp Messaages
Firstly, in terms of notifications (i.e. when you get a text), the Rider 750 (like the Rider 450 I tested a while back) displays WhatsApp messages (in addition to standard texts and iMessages). Wahoo certainly doesn’t have this and I don’t think Garmin Edges do either.
The Bryton Active App Adds Turn-By-Turn Directions To Strava Routes
Secondly, as you may know, Strava routes files do not come complete with turn by turn directions. So when you download them to a GPS device, the alerts and the road names don’t pop up. On the Bryton Active app, if you select one of your synced Strava routes, gives you the option of turning it into a file with turn-by-turn directions right there in the app. Click this option, select a new name for the route, and hey presto it’s done, ready to ride. And it works – turn directions appear on the Rider 750 app as you ride the route.
Value / Conclusion
The big selling point for this bike computer is value.
For a little over £200 / a little under $300, you get a fully featured, colour touchscreen bike GPS with on-board navigation
It looks smart on the handlebars. Battery life is excellent. I like how easy it is to change data fields directly on the device.
The user interface, whether on the device or on the app is not as refined as Garmin or Wahoo
It lacks on-board CPU processing grunt, certainly versus the newer Garmins, the 530 and the 830. Maps are slower to move around and zoom than Garmin and Wahoo equivalents.
This definitely feels like a coming of age device for Bryton. It is a sophisticated bike GPS that is of a quality to compete with Garmin and Wahoo but at a price that will give those two competitors something to think about for the future.

Bryton 750 o garmin edge 530
AlfreDoss ha scritto: Io non voglio tirare l’acqua al mulino di Garmin ma ho letto che il Bryton se non hai una connessione dati attiva non ti permette di navigare o quantomeno vedere la cartografia, ma prendi questo con le pinze… Clicca per allargare…
Ciao, mi sono informato un po anche perchè io non avendo mai avuto un dispositivo simile (ed essendo proprio ignorante in materia non solo gps ma anche MTB) mi trovo in difficoltà nella scelta in quanto non vorrei spendere troppo per avere un dispositivo che offra info che non sono in grado di gestire ma non vorrei nemmeno spendere poco per trovarmi poi con un dispositivo che non mi consenta di monitorare o vedere cose che potrebbero interessarmi con il proseguire dell’attività e visti i costi sarebbe impensabile prendere un dispositivo e cambiarlo dopo 1 anno…Il bryton 750, da quello che ho capito, ha necessità della connessione dati del telefono per navigare verso una destinazione. Nel caso in cui non ci sia l’associazione al telefono si potrà vedere la mappa con indicazione del punto dove ci troviamo che si muove in funzione dei nostri spostamenti ma non si potrà impostare una destinazione. Mentre caricando le tracce gpx si può tranquillamente navigare offline in quanto le mappe sono precaricate e comunque installabili da osm.Detto questo suppongo che i garmin etrex 32x ed edge 530 (che sono gli altri 2 dispositivi che sto valutando) invece possono fare tutto senza connessione dati corretto?Per il bryton c’è da dire che se vai in offroad o segui una traccia gpx o lascia la mappa libera con l’indicazione di dove stai andando, non penso che ti metti a caricare una destinazione come se fossi in macchina. In questo caso potrebbe essere un problema in quanto magari nei boschi mantieni il segnale gps ma potresti perdere la connessione dati con la perdita della navigazione.
Review: Bryton’s Rider 750 may be the best bang for the buck cycling computer
For most people in the states, Bryton isn’t a household cycling computer name — but we think that’s about to change. Bryton’s newest head unit, the Bryton Rider 750, comes packed with easy-to-use features, a color touch screen, and a price point nearly two hundred dollars lower than similar units from competitors.
As of 2021, after discontinuing the Rider 850, the Bryton Rider 750 is the Taiwanese company’s flagship head unit. Here’s why you might want it…
What is it?
Designed to directly compete with big names in the cycling computer space, the Bryton Rider 750 has all the trappings of a premier all in one computer companion — and comes outfitted with a 2.8″ color touch screen, online navigation (app integrated) with voice-search, Bluetooth/ANT+ sensors, and Strava integration.
Who is it designed for?
After using the Rider 750 for some time, I can say with confidence that this computer is for anyone who wants to track rides and a ton of metrics. The data collection is top-notch, and the user interface is simple enough to attract both novice and very experienced cyclists. Plus, the price will lure in riders of all kinds.
Bryton Rider 750 key features
Full color 2.8” touch screen display — resolution: 240 x 400 pixels
Graphical User Interface (GUI) for tracking progress over interval time
Programmable workouts via the “Advanced Training” feature of the Bryton Active app

Smart notification for incoming/missed calls, texts, and emails
Super lightweight at 94 grams
Price: 750 E $270.00, 750 T $350.00
Available options
The Bryton Rider 750 comes in two package options — the Rider 750 E and the Rider 750 T. The Rider 750 E comes with all the goodies to get you rolling, like a USB cable, two bike mounts, and a safety lanyard, so the unit stays on the bike. The secondary option, which is the 750 T, is the fully-loaded bundle. This package comes with everything in the 750 E option but includes an ANT+/BLE heart rate monitor, ANT+/BLE cadence sensor, and ANT+/BLE hub speed sensor. Both purchase options come with the same Bryton Rider 750 head unit.
Setup and dial-in
Setting up a new computer can be complicated — you have to plug-in data and get the proper screens set up. But with app integration and head units that efficiently communicate with your phone, the bulk of this arduous task is removed.
The Rider 750 is straightforward to set up, and the prompts from the head unit are helpful. I found the Bryton setup video to be super helpful for navigation of the unit itself, and for setting up the Bluetooth. (As a tip from me to you, before you take your new device for a splash in the water, make sure you watch the videos.)
The touch screen works well but is not as responsive as a phone or some competitor head units. But it works well with gloves on, and eventually, you get used to the response time. As for the color — it’s relatively vibrant and easy to read, especially in the GUI mode.
One thing to note is that Bryton uses bits of verbiage that don’t line up with other head units. For example, they use “Results” instead of “Rides,” and MAP instead of FTP — but those are pretty minor things you also get used to.
I received the fully-loaded version of the Rider 750 and was happy to find the sport bike mount is crafted from alloy and uses a similar twist lock to the Garmin units. The Rider 750 works with Garmin-branded mounts, but not the other way around. The Bryton-specific mount with the unit has a very firm hold and a satisfying tick when the unit is in place.
The aluminum mounting clamp is limited to the 31.6mm clamp size, requiring 35mm bar users to look elsewhere.
All sensors that arrive with the fully loaded “T” package are easy to pair with the Rider 750 unit and very easy to install. The hub-style speed sensor is similar to competitors’ offerings and arrives with a durable/flexible rubber band style attachment to fit all manner of hubs. The cadence sensor is very slim, about the size of a crank arm power meter, and comes with a soft rubber backing to stay in place without marking the crankset.
The heart rate sensor is ANT+ Bluetooth compatible with a detachable sensor on the front. Out of all the accessories provided, I was least impressed with the heart rate monitor. The unit itself is very lightweight (not a bad thing), but I feel like it would crack easily. The fit is fine, and it broadcasts well, but the construction isn’t what I would say is on par with competing units.
Ride impressions
My first rides with the Rider 750 were on my mountain bike. I figured I’d be less picky about seeing all my numbers and roll. Looking down at the computer, I was pleased with the size of the screen and visibility — the 2.8″ size is right in between the Garmin 830 plus and the Garmin 1030 plus. This is a great spot to be for mountain biking — you get the visuals without the bulk.
Operating the unit while riding is relatively easy. While the touch screen missed a few swipes, as I adjusted to the screen’s sensitivity, I felt more comfortable with the unit. Plugging in and shuffling around data screens is very intuitive and similar to other units on the market. For on-the-fly changing of the data screen, press down and hold in over the box, and it turns a different color than the others. Touch again and it brings you to a menu to find the data point you’re looking to use. Bryton breaks down the data units so they’re easier to find on the fly (ex, Power – Power 3 sec.).
The unit was a breeze to use on the road, and I found myself favoring it over my bulkier go-to head unit. I set up my road bike under “Bike 2” in the three allotted bikes you can choose. I prefer the “Road – Mountain – Gravel” setup that other manufacturers use, preloaded with data pertinent to those activities. The Rider 750 can make most of those data points, and the user only has to set them up. You can add up to 12 data fields to view on a single page — I found that six was a solid number for me, especially when running the GUI.
Scrolling through the data on my ride was very easy, and I enjoyed the GUI features. My favorite is the volume-style power unit that is super simple and makes it easy to glance down and observe your zone.
The unit works nicely with electronic shifting and many manufacturers. I tested it with FSA WE, Shimano Di2, and SRAM Etap, with all pairing quickly, showing shifts, battery life, and good gearing metrics. The Rider 750 works similarly with E-Bike software, but I didn’t have a chance to check it out.
I took the Rider for a few rides on the trainer, and the unit had zero problems pairing with my Wahoo KICKR. The Rider has a very cool feature of a virtual ride that you’ve performed outside — the unit works with the smart trainer to recreate that specific ride, which is an excellent training tool.
The Rider 750 integrates easily with Radar units like the Garmin Varia Rtl515. Instead of showing dots like the Garmin units, the Rider 750 offers a tiny car, which I like better. The unit beeps when a car is coming and then populates it on the screen, which feels very safe. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for Bluetooth smart lights such as the Bontrager ION Flare 200 series. Other cycling units detect this style of lights easily, but the Rider was never able to find them.
Satellites and navigation
The Bryton picks up a signal fast — it uses GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, and QZSS satellite support. One of the more remarkable things about the Rider 750 is the navigation. It comes stocked with maps and Open Street Mapping built-in. When used with the Bryton Active App, you can speak into the navigation section and search for your destination. I found this to be very cool and super simple to use. The directions are easy to follow on the fly, and the transfer from phone to unit takes less than 20 seconds.
When navigating to a destination using the Rider 750, I found the unit to be on point with my location and time riding. When I took one of my patented dirt path detours, the maps disagreed and took some time to find updated directions.
When I say some time, I mean a minute or two of a “processing” screen, and then I would hear a little beep indicating when I should turn next.
The map function is straightforward to use while in navigation mode. The unit offers zoom, explore, and other standard options that you would find in a map application on a cell phone.
Final thoughts
The Bryton Rider 750 is quite a cycling computer — jam-packed with tons of tech at a modest price. My only real gripe with the unit is some of the vocabulary used to describe data, but it’s nothing that a user couldn’t get used to. The overall construction is solid and has the makings of a flagship cycling computer. Bryton has big competitors in the US, but with a unit this competent that’s priced so competitively, I can see them converting users fast.
