Time to upgrade that old cycling computer?
Sigma’s BC 1606L DTS wireless cycling computer with cadence capabilities might be just what you’re looking for.
Since 1982 Sigma has been developing cycling computers for cyclists of all abilities, from pro to enthusiast. From starting out with the intent of making a bicycle speedometer, Sigma sure didn’t stop there. The Sigma BC1606L DTS is part of their “Top Line Wireless” series of cycling computer and is loaded with all the features you’ve come to expect from a quality cycling computer.
The 1606L DTS is wireless, for ease of installation and initial setup. Plus, with the all new DTS (digital transmission system), which is set to receive only packets from your computer, you don’t have to worry about jumbled data from outside sources. No more MPH or distance errors when you unexpectedly get near a power line, cell phone, or computer confusion common in group rides.
The display on the 1606L is large with multiple readout zones clearly defined and with the equipped LCD back-light it’s easy to read, even at night. The 1606L even hides functions, like totals (mileage/time) or cadence (if not installed), when riding to better enhance readout visibility. You get two-bike capability (two different wheel sizes), 7 readout languages, zones for Actual/Average MPH/KPH, Comparison mode between Actual/Average MPH/KPH, Maximum MPH/KPH, Time of Day, Riding Time, Total Riding Time (bike 1, 2, or 1+2), Stopwatch, Trip Distance, Total Distance (bike 1, 2, or 1+2), Low Battery Indicator, Programmable Trip, Programmable Time Meter (Countdown), Backup Function (to save settings in case of power loss/battery change), and Actual/Average Cadence (if installed).
With tons of features, simple two-bike setup, confusion free wireless transmission, and one of the best displays I’ve seen, the Sigma 1606L DTS with Cadence is sure to become a favorite among both “Roadies” and “Mudders.” Go to your local bike store or Sigmasports.com to get yours for about $80 with Cadence or $45 without.
