Is an $80 bike GPS any good? Cycplus M1 review 

I got it today for 19$, and I'm impressed with this quality and functionality at this orice point.

Thanks for the advice. I’m looking to purchase something and your vid had helped me narrow the field. 😎

Thanks! Great review

another great review!

Nice review, thanks a lot

Thanks for your Extra info about this topics

4:02 also if you own a powermeter you can probably splash out on a more expensive head unit.

The backlight is not always on. It depends on GPS position and solar calendar (?). It's on since around 1 hour after civil dawn, yet I don't when it goes off. And it works like that since at least firmware 1.20. As for overall, the M1 works fine for me, but I haven't found a way to reset odometer without resetting the device.

Why do these things need a bicycle wheel sensor when they are already GPS? It would blow a hole in the market if you could use this on anything, anywhere.

Thanks! Always look forward to your content! My wife wouldn't use 95% of a Garmin's capability but her simple Cateye has no capability. Do you know if you can manually enter an odometer reading when setting it up? Speed, mileages and HR are all she'd probably use. Stay safe and healthy!

It would be great if you could get the Stages Dash head units (L10, M50, L50). The L10 is going for $75 USD right now and looks great for training with power if you don't need maps. I just ordered an M50 and hope it lives up to what I've read.

Love your content, I started riding again in August 2020, after not riding for ~10yrs (Broken frame - Rear spoke dragged the derailleur into the wheel, ripped it right off the frame with 15 km walk) inclusive of a back and hip injury, so pretty much starting from scratch again. I went with the Bryton Rider 15 series, unit itself is ~$90-110 AUD, sensor bundle is another $40-50 AUD. It does pretty much everything this unit does, the function output on display pages are editable to a degree (Positions are fixed in regards to where they can be displayed) Text is quite visible and it syncs fairly quickly with sensors (ANT + BT) Paired with a cheap ~$80 AUD phone to allow for GPS Connectivity it is more than good enough for what I desire, which is speed (km/h, average) distance and cadence, Altitude gain, gradient output, etc is a pure bonus for me. Only minor issues for me, update on data display is slower than what I would like though guessing the same for every unit that is wireless out there as well as the speed sensor icon on display constantly flickering as if it is trying to pair (Does not stop functionality of unit or sensor) lastly like all other units I guess sometimes minor screen glare/reflection at poor angles.

Hi 🙋‍♂️ Thanks for great review 👍 It would be awesome if you could review also the new Aerothan made by Schwalbe 🥺🥺🥺

Probably good for people are beginners and use strava phone app to record their rides. It will save them their phone battery and they will be able to see enough data up front for an average rider. But yea, I would suggest most people to just put that $80 towards a $400 wahoo.

In some part of your video you had the DST and ODO in ft, and then in other part you had them in miles. How did you change the unit on ODO and DST data?

The temperature sensor doesn't work for me. Always it shows 0c or 32f. Also, I can sync data that are one day older. Anyone facing the same issues? Is there a way to fix the issue?

Hi, does anyone know how to reset the odometer or return the GPS to the factory configuration? Thanks

i have it and its simple i am happy

Do you still recomend it,is there any other aftermarket i find xoss g+ and cospoo

I have one. Cheap Chinese device. Firmware and XOSS application are mediocre. The accuracy of the GPS positioning is not happy. One question, how to synchronize the clock with a smartphone? Currently, тhe clock in my M1 is inaccurate by a few minutes. How to adjust it with the XOSS application?

I have been using my Samsung galaxy watch but I was thinking about buying one of these

How accurate a GPS sensor (without speed sensor)? And another question: what iz function "current ascent" ? If i made 3 Hills ( ascent and descent) in one ride - which data will be in that field? Sum of all 3 ascent or only the last one? Tnx for na answer in advance!

got mine yesterday 😅

Does it has a auto-pause function?

The use of the XOSS app makes me think it’s some kind of ODM situation. And I guess Betteridge’s Law applies?

Very persistance review.. thanks a lot, i am goin to get the unit..

Hello! Is it suitable for indoors training on the trainer? Thanks in advance.

Can someone explain to me, how i can save my ride data or sync it on my phone with this computer?

Don't count on the GPS. Mine works 80-90% of the time and always takes a few minutes to sync. Ambient temp always 6 degree F too high. Syncing with sensors is not perfect either.

But where are the GPS maps ? And do they take radar ?

Thanks for video I have the same bike computer but I couldn't find powermeter.Please help me about it.I want to buy it.

do I always have to be connected to the phone while driving, to have data on the phone and forward it to Strava?

Bryton offers great GPS units and great prices. I bought my unit 4 years ago and it's still working great with 33 hours battery life. All of their units upload straight to Strava.

What do you think about Magene C406?

Dude, without GPS how did it connect to your smartphone? It does have Bluetooth.

The weak point is the micro switches in the buttons, mine stopped working after less than a year. The aliexpess seller, the official Cycplus store, does not respect the guarantee and offers a refund of 5 USD

Coospo b200 is much better for around the same price plus uses xoss app to

I have a question sir... If, in case, i connect the speed sensor to the M1, it won't calculate the speed from GPS right?... Then my question is when i finish the ride, does the M1 record the position and will it plot the route line that just finished?? Anyone is welcome to answer here. I once read from online someone said when his M1 paired with speed sensor but detached the magnet from the wheel, then the speed on M1 keep showing 0. So he could not record any session because the Time was frozen at 00:01 though he's moving (and GPS is connected all the time).

No support for Bluetooth is a deal breaker

I may have a defective unit. I just did a 36-mile ride and the M1 reads under 32-miles. Yes, I wait for the GPS to find satellites before starting. Also the temperature reads 5°F higher than ambient air temperature.

Got your hands on a bryton 750 yet?

Does the device auto pause?

Can it say mph

is this better than magene c406?

Its shit if you do more than 1000 watts since it only display 3 digit numbers!

new version C8 - total odometer

The Magene C406 is much better and a lot more feature rich. for a bit cheaper.

First comment, :). Now to navigate out of here.

Just bought for $55

My phone doesn't support Ant+, so too bad for me.

Xoss is the a producer of sensors and has also a cheap road computer... This is a compatible device

There is no spare parts available and no customer support.

I thought Xoss made bike computers themselves, like the G+

I’m guessing that is $80 AUS. It is only $49 US.

So does it GPS?

I got a unit and realised it was super huge. The screen is way too big unless you have eyesight problems. The computer is a tank and weights a ton. Super thick, not aero at all.

80$ for Cycplus m1 in 2020? They ripped you off mate 😂

This looks like an exact ripoff the Meilan M1

It costs 33€(bit over $40) in AliExpress, not $80. It is also very wrong review. The unit is not to be used without sensors - without sensors it's just useless piece of trash(you can buy GPS smartwatch and put on your bike handlebars). The main drawback is the download speed from the unit to phone - like if you can just leave it there and paste data it's ok, but 5hour rides took me 15-20minuted to upload. I rode all kind of weather and I don't frankly know what reflections the reviewer is talking about - it's perfect: led turns on on day, turns off at night to support you with visibility. The battery time is around 40hours(was able to survive full 7 days of bike packing with it) edit: however maybe the reviewer got different version of it, because I own two and one got tad bit different labelling on it

Bitch I’m *poor* She’ll be right

unbelievable bargain com pared to a garmin,,,,who would ever spend 400 when these are 45??????????????/ chinese kickin our asses,,,yet again
