Lezyne Super GPS HR Loaded Bike Computer

The head unit market may be the only aspect of cycling that's more complicated than the ever shifting landscape of bottom bracket standards, but Lezyne declutters the field of choices with its Super HR Loaded Bike Computer. The Super GPS HR package includes two key elements: Lezyne's over achieving Super GPS head unit and a Heart Rate Flow Sensor. The former sits on your handlebar, embarrassing more expensive GPS computers with an impressive body of functionality the latter wraps around your chest, transmitting heart rate data to the Super GPS via wireless Bluetooth connectivity.

If you're more into data and training than flash and shininess, that's a negligible sacrifice. In addition to Strava, Lezyne Ally autosyncs with popular third party s...
