Mio Cyclo 400 GPS Bike Computer with 4" Touchscreen

Product Information

I quite like opening up a box, getting out the instructions and settling down for an hour with a new bit of tech and setting everything up, but with the Mio I was done in about 10 minutes as it is so simple to get up and running, and there isn't really that much to configure. So what doesn’t the Mio Cyclo 210 do? There’s no ANT+ connection so you can’t connect it to a heart rate monitor, nor is there Bluetooth. That means if you want to transfer routes to or from the 210 (or pair it with Strava), you have to connect it to your computer using a lead and transfer them via the MioShare app — an annoyingly fiddly process. Should I buy one? Where am I' feature pin points your location. Send text regarding your location with Android smartphones only Whilst MIO’s main marketing angle throughout the entire range appears to be focussed on NAVIGATION, their devices do become much more feature-rich and performance-suited as you go up the range. You send your ride data to MIOSHARE, the online platform. (AFAIK there is no app for the 210 – there is no bluetooth support).

However the Cyclo seems a tad overpriced to me. The only justification for the price that I can see is the screen. Then again, the screen IS a fundamental part of a bike navigation offering. In terms of what the 210 is setting out to do then there is competence on the navigational features and there is competence and breadth in the range of associated metrics that can be arranged on the various screens. These metrics range from arrival time; battery; distance to next turn; calories; sunset; heading; distance to next hilltop; grade; total ascent; remaining climb; and so on. Where data needs to be transferred outside the UK, Mitac will ensure that all such transfers are in compliance with the terms of the Data Protection Laws and the relevant EU regulations. Where transfers are to be made outside of the European Economic Area, MiTAC will ensure that the designation country(ies) has data protection laws assessed as adequate by the European Commission or where adequate safeguards are in place.

Overall, I really like the Mio Cyclo 210. It may not have all of the bells and whistles required if you are really into your performance and want to record as much data as possible, but I never really missed it. Another new feature of the Cyclo 505 is that it allows you to play music. There are also buttons for pause, stop and next song. If you want to use the advanced search song feature and go through your playlist you will only be able to do this with an iPhone. Please also note to control the volume you will need to be using an Android smartphone.

Mio Cyclo 405 HC GPS bottom line

Having to keep getting the laptop out and connect the Mio by cable is a bit of a faff. Uploading the rides to Mioshare is easy enough, though, and you can connect your account to Strava so it takes your rides across. Value and competition I found even pairing the Cyclo with my own phone slightly faffy, as it looks simple but seems to involve codes and poking various parts of both screens at just the right time. It took a few goes, with me wondering if it was working or not. Once successfully done, at least, it connects automatically (and rapidly) from then on. Resolutely routey Basically, given the often frustrating controls and inflexible navigation, it's hard to say this feels like good value. Overall
