Expert opinion
The Rider S510 is best suited to performance-focused cyclists who want comprehensive navigation, structured training and broad sensor connectivity in a compact device without needing the S810’s larger screen.
It combines OpenStreetMap-based navigation, turn-by-turn guidance, off-course recalculation without a phone connection, Strava Live Segments, Climb Challenge 2.0 and structured workouts through Bryton Active and TrainingPeaks. Climb Challenge 2.0 predicts upcoming climbs and shows ascent information, while ANT+ FE-C smart trainers support indoor workouts and virtual rides. Bryton Active provides route planning, ride analysis, live tracking and automatic sync with Strava, TrainingPeaks, Komoot, Relive and Ride with GPS. The 2.8-inch colour touchscreen has an ambient light sensor, the unit weighs 96g, and a barometric altimeter measures elevation. ANT+ connects heart-rate, speed, cadence and power sensors, rear radar, electronic shifting and smart trainers, with Bluetooth for heart rate. Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours.
Its climbing software, navigation and training integrations in a compact unit set it apart from the larger S810, although the smaller screen and shorter battery life matter for riders who prioritise map visibility and long days out.
