Retailers, like We Keep You Cycling, are legally allowed to set their own selling prices. However, some manufacturers set ‘Minimum Advertised Pricing’ or ‘MAP’ policies which restrict how we can display pricing for their products. Typically this means that we cannot show you our price for the item until you take further action, such as placing the item in your shopping cart. Placing the item in the Shopping Cart will allow you to see our price, but does not mean you have to purchase the item. The item can be easily removed from the cart if you do not want it.
While inconvenient, this is the legal method of complying with MAP policies while retaining our retailers’ legal right to sell at a price of our choosing.
When it comes to ride data, you can stop at just speed, maybe add climbing data or total time ridden. If that’s all you need, click here for the basic computers. BUT, if it is time to get serious about measuring, calculating and computing your rides, then read on because you just found more information than you may know what to do with in the new Sigma Rox 8.0 cycling computer.
There are sixty-three total features in the Sigma Rox 8.0 cyclocomputer. Bear with us now, these can get confusing because of the sheer volume of the features. The sixty-three total features including eleven general functions, including five languages, two wheel sizes, an auto start/stop, handy LCD backlighting, the battery status display and an alarm.
There are seven bike functions including current speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, speed comparison and programmable trip counters. The cadence functions give you current cadence, average cadence and maximum cadence.
Your heart rate monitor gives you current, average and maximum heart rates, three HR zones, a zone alarm, the percentage of your maximum HR, a graphic HR zone display, plus calories burned and time in the designated HR zone.
Let’s talk time. There are seven time functions including the date, the time, your ride time, a stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, and 12 or 24 hour modes for you military personnel.
Need to know the temperature? There are three temperature functions that give you the current temp, minimum temp and maximum temp. Yeah, did we mention that this computer has left no question unanswered?
For altitude measurements, you get current altitude, current incline/decline, current rate of ascent/descent and a calibration via your current altitude. There are nine uphill functions to tell you the day's climb, maximum day's altitude, trip distance, ride time, average speed, rate of ascent, maximum ascent speed, average incline and maximum incline. Plus eight downhill functions that fill you in on the day's descent, trip distance, ride time, average speed, rate of descent, maximum rate of descent, and the average and maximum decline.
Just want the totals? The Sigma Rox 8.0 cyclocomputer gives you ten total values that include your total distance, total ride time, total altitude up/down, maximum altitude, total distance and time uphill and downhill.
The display is large and clear so it’s easy to read while on the move. Nothing worse than trying to look cool with your new cycling computer and taking your eyes off the road so long that you crash. What’s even better is the top segments have a zoom function. Speaking of the display, it can be customized with two “Favorites Lists” and each list can be customized with up to ten functions.
To make things easier, the Sigma Rox 8.0 cycling computer has a new digitally encoded 3-channel wireless STS (Sigma Transmission System) so you can use the pulse measurement (heart monitor), speed and cadence transmitter sensors at the same time
The Sigma Rox 8.0 cycling computer comes with the necessary speed, cadence and heart rate sensors, as well as the heart rate chest strap. But, it doesn’t come with the docking station or the software to download your ride information on to your home computer. They are an optional purchase. However, if you definitely want the additional capabilities that transferring data to your home computer offers, we suggest you purchase the Sigma Rox 9.0. Should you decide to upgrade later, the additional items can be purchased separately.
Handy tip to save on frustration: This is a very intricate computer system and it needs to be setup properly to work properly. Be sure to actually READ the manual before installation, setup and first use. So far we’ve seen that all the issues our customers contact us about are easily solved by re-reading the manual.
