Bryton Rider 15 neo – Announced
Bryton has just announced a new addition to the range. This time the Rider 15 neo is squeezed in at the low-cost end of their offering nicely offsetting the recent Rider 750 (review here)
And it really is LOW COST, coming in at Eu70 for the base unit only.
On a feature-for-feature basis, Bryton offers some of the very best bike computer deals. You get a lot for your 70euros, even with the top-of-the-range Bryton you get Varia radar support, power meter support and innovative Google Assistant voice navigation for just over GBP200…that’s considerably cheaper than Wahoo Roam, Garmin Edge 1030+ and Hammerhead Karoo equivalents.
