Stages Dash M200/L200 – get upcoming Climb Info
The M200 and L200 bike computers from Stages Cycling are already well-featured. Current owners will from today benefit from a free new feature that mimics that offered by Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead. Yes, it’s the must-have feature of 2023 which is dynamic info on the upcoming climb irrespective of whether you are following any kind of navigation instructions.
It’s one of those deceptively useful features when you come to an unrecognised hill it really helps you pace your efforts up it as the road twists and turns and changes gradient. However the exact same feature also frequently pops up on hills you regularly ride and know well, to the point where it becomes annoying and you turn off the feature entirely. The only half-solution I’ve found here is to set the feature to its maximum level of sensitivity ie to only show the hardest hills, either that or remember to enable/disable the feature on rides where you know you might need it.
