CYCPLUS Wireless GPS Bike Computer Kit — 2.9" LCD Head Unit + Sensors
Product description
High-sensitivity GPS navigation: The M1 head unit uses an imported Swiss navigation chip for faster satellite lock and improved route tracking. When paired to a phone via Bluetooth the device syncs rides to the companion app so you can review or export full routes after a session.
2.9-inch FSTN backlit display: The anti-glare FSTN LCD is designed for visibility in bright sunlight and lights automatically according to local sunrise/sunset times. The screen is protected by tempered glass to resist scratches from everyday use.
All-in-one kit contents: This bundle contains the M1 bike computer, C3 speed/cadence sensor (with a hardware toggle to switch modes), and the Z1 handlebar mount. A small screwdriver is provided for installation. The Z1 mount is intended for 31.8 mm handlebars and the compact mount weighs about 29 g.
Sensor and app integration: The unit accepts ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors for speed, cadence, heart rate and power. It records altitude, grade and route alongside speed/cadence data and can sync to third-party platforms via the CYCPLUSFit app (search in app stores). Strava account linking is supported through the app for workout export.
Durability and power: The head unit is rated IPX6 for water resistance and runs on a 1200mAh battery engineered to deliver many hours of operation (reported >60 hours in typical use). The speed/cadence sensor supports Bluetooth and ANT+ outputs, so it works with a wide range of bike devices and apps.
Pros

Disappointing accuracy and return experience
Unit failed to work as advertised with spotty connectivity and inaccurate measurements. I returned it but received less than I paid after deductions and had to cover return postage despite the listing. Not recommended based on my experience.

Best value for a readable, long-lasting unit
Large, legible screen and simple setup. Follow the sensor installation instructions and consider two sensors if needed. Battery holds a charge far better than pricier competitors I’ve tried.

Good hardware, buttons need improvement
Compact and well-built with a clear display and useful layout. Setup felt complex at first but pairing to the cadence sensor was quick. The app tracks rides well. The reason for four stars is the bottom buttons — they can be vague and need harder presses to start/stop or power off. Battery life so far has been impressive.

Started glitching after ten months
After about ten months the unit began to fail to start rides properly. Resetting didn’t fix it. Previously it was very easy to use and connected to ANT sensors without trouble.

Solid performance and easy setup
Very good bike computer with reliable sensors. The display is clear and installation was straightforward. Good overall value for money.

Still going strong after nearly two years
I rarely write reviews, but after almost two years this is one of the most durable units I’ve owned. Battery life remains excellent. My main gripe is the trip odometer resets when turned off, which broke my weekly mileage tracking workflow. Note: GPS provides speed without a wheel sensor, but full odometer totals require a dedicated sensor.

Works, but uploads can be hit-or-miss
Shows live cadence and heart rate reliably, but uploads to phone or desktop apps were inconsistent at first. The phone app indicated lots of saved rides waiting to sync. After one successful full upload it worked consistently for a while. I’m using it less now for personal reasons, otherwise it performs well while connected.

Feature-packed and easy to read on the bar
A solid, affordable alternative to high-end units. Satellite lock is fast. Buttons let you power on/pause, save rides and toggle display screens with thumb control. The large, sun-friendly display separates speed and secondary metrics neatly. Saving and exporting rides via the companion app is straightforward, and customer support helped me enable cadence without delay.

Fantastic value and complete package
Great price-to-performance ratio. The device arrives as a complete kit, shows all data clearly, and feels like a quality package. I recommend it.

Robert E. Altieri 5/5
Great support and practical fixes
Customer service was very responsive. When the cadence sensor band broke, support sent a replacement and guided me through getting the odometer and timer working by letting GPS settle before pressing the left button. I no longer rely on my phone for rides and appreciate the prompt help.

Excellent product — meets expectations
Very good device that matches my expectations. Easy to use and displays all essential data clearly.

Excellent value but some software/altitude issues
Great hardware for the price. I encountered app issues where downloads showed out of order and one accessory threw a TypeError. Altitude data is unreliable at times, sometimes missing large sections of a ride. Still a good buy if you can tolerate some software quirks.
