A huge number of cycle computers are now available in Japan, making it easier for users to find a model that matches their needs in terms of functionality and price. High-end models have large screens and are compatible with a variety of sensors, making them easy to use for training and racing, and are multi-function devices that are also suitable for cycling using navigation systems.

On the other hand, base-grade models are often refined with only the necessary functions, with small screen displays and limited compatible sensors to keep the price down. iGPSPORT has released the BSC100S, which has a large screen that makes it easy to read the text and even supports a power meter.

The BSC100S does not have a navigation or map function, but is a model specialized for acquiring, displaying, and recording data. The screen is a 2.6-inch fully laminated display, with a basic black and white display divided into five sections. The largest area expresses speed and power with graphics like a digital tachometer in a passenger car, and although it is an entry-level model, it is likely to enhance the riding mood.

The maximum number of data displayed is six, with four pages. The cycle computer screen can be edited from a smartphone app, so although the hardware is stripped down to just two physical buttons, it should be easy to use if you use your smartphone. In addition, by linking it with the app, data can be stored on the cloud, so it's nice to be able to check the data on your smartphone at any time.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, it can also be linked to a power meter, so it should be suitable for those who want to analyze data at home while keeping the budget for a cycle computer low. As it is a GPS-equipped model, it records distance, speed, and route without a sensor, so it is also suitable as a first computer for beginners.

The satellites used to obtain location information include GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, GALILEO, and QZSS. The battery can last up to 40 hours, which should be enough for a long day of riding. The charging port is USB Type-C. The price is very reasonable at 6,050 yen (tax included). This cycle computer is suitable for those who have just started sports biking, or young competitors who want to focus on racing activities.
