Bike computers are a staple of the triathlete\u2019s gear armoury; in fact, they\u2019re still omnipresent even when armed with a multisport watch<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s because by sitting on either your stem or bars, they\u2019re easily seen no matter what speed you\u2019re riding at. Or they should be\u2026<\/p>\n In general, the larger the screen size, the easier the info is to read, though pixelated digits or a small font often mean that\u2019s not the case. This is key if you\u2019re relying on your computer for navigation so, when appropriate, check its resolution.<\/p>\n For the most marginal of gainers, obviously the larger the screen, the less aerodynamic a computer is, though that\u2019s a minor sacrifice worth making if it\u2019s easy to navigate via a touchscreen. This is especially important when wearing gloves. But large usually means more features and that means extra cost.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> If you choose a GPS model, you\u2019ll have to decide between a \u2018backward-looking\u2019 or \u2018forward-looking\u2019 model. Backward-looking are favoured by riders who tap into portals like Strava as they offer live data, plus detailed post-ride analysis.<\/p>\n \u2018Forward-looking\u2019 features built-in maps to tick that navigational box, meaning additional storage and a larger screen. Of course, this all comes at an extra cost.<\/p>\n More expensive computers should also feature Bluetooth as standard, making it easy to sync your data to your smartphone for ride analysis.<\/p>\n More affordable models strip features right down but don\u2019t let that put you off \u2013 for many, speed and distance is enough.<\/p>\n Read on for our complete list of the best bike computers for triathlon.<\/p>\nWhat should you look for in a bike computer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
