If you're a serious peddler, you know Mavic. We're happy to report that the company's WinTech Ultimate USB Wireless Computer will appeal to high-level cyclists. From its diminutive size and light weight to its mu ltiple telemetry reports for cadence and speed information, it looks, feels and performs like a device for pros. The computer communicates wirelessly with heart and cadence sensors to provide the usual array of data points-heart rate, cadence, speed-and the " Alti" model provides altitude as well. The hardware does not, however, provide GPS data. But serious cyclists know where they're riding, right?
During our tests, we noticed a lag in some of the telemetry. This was most noticeable around elevation changes, but we occasionally witnessed it with speed changes as well. The documentation for installing and syncing the computer is also deficient. Otherwise, we liked this kit. The ability to choose from multiple speed sensors-forkmounted, front-wheel skewer, and even ankle-mounted, to name a few-is a nice touch. And being able to plug the Wintech main unit into a USB port to analyze ride data on a computer seals the deal.
