THE BIGGEST OF Lezyne’s three new GPS computers can compile ride, rider and other info from all sorts of sources, but its bulk, Bluetooth battery life and limited display options are potentially frustrating.
By using the ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart communication protocols the Super can ‘talk’ simultaneously to pretty much any wireless device, including speed, cadence or power sensors and heart rate monitors. You can even pair it with your smartphone to give text and incoming call ID notifications, which potentially saves a lot of stopping and pocket fumbling. The more devices it’s connected to the faster it rips through battery life though, particularly if using Bluetooth. While one sample we’ve used has remained better connected to devices than most competition, the other has been irritatingly forgetful.
While you can choose from two to four lines of data on the display, only the bottom line is scrollable, which means you can’t always get all the information you want at the same time. Post-ride data browsing through the GPS Ally app or GPS Root website with Google Map linking is satisfyingly comprehensive though, and easy to sync with Google Earth and Strava directly, or Training Peaks, etc, via .fit files.
The dedicated childproof-top ‘press down and twist’ bracket is very secure but the computer sits high on your stem or bar unless you get Lezyne’s 22$ front mount.
Good price for a ton of data collection and communication, but battery life, bulk and display issues
