Sensor Direct, as the name suggests, provides speed, cadence and heart rate information by connecting directly with the sensors via Bluetooth, so you don't have to take your phone with you.Īlthough it all looks simple enough to install if you know what you're doing, if you've never had a device like it then the instructions could be a little confusing and you might need to look online for extra help.Īfter reading the instructions, installing the Cateye Cycling app and mounting the bracket, you have to pair everything together. As well as displaying ride data provided by your phone's GPS, it tells you if you have a text message, a call or an email. Mirror Mode connects the computer directly to your phone, but lets you leave your phone in sleep mode so it saves on battery life and you can tuck it away safely out of the weather. Like the Strada, the Padrone works in two modes, Mirror and Sensor Direct. Find your nearest dealer here Buy this online here
The Padrone's is much bigger – the unit itself is 67.5 x 43 x 15.6mm (the Strada is 47 x 32 x 13.2mm) – meaning you can see everything on the screen clearly and easily while you're on the bike and when you're stopped. The big difference – the Padrone's big appeal, quite literally – is the size of the screen. It's very similar to the Cateye Strada Smart that Dave Atkinson reviewed recently. The kit only works with certain phones, though, so check out Cateye's list of compatible devices here before you purchase. In the kit you get the computer, a speed/cadence sensor and a heart rate sensor. The Cateye Padrone Smart Triple Wireless kit is a great idea for a cycle computer that uses an app and your smartphone to get the most out of your bike ride.
