Improved Safety, Exceptional Convenience With
Premium Voice Features
With this flagship model on board, Bryton is rolling out a multitude of new premium features and 3rd-party support to fully augment the abilities of this high-end model. In addition to the Group Chat and Group Ride features, The Rider S800 leads the way with a carefully selected outdoor-tailored high contrast display and advanced navigation & workout capabilities, as well as compatibility with indoor smart trainers, rear-view bike radar, and Cycling Dynamics, and more! Wherever and whatever you ride, the Rider S800 has something for everyone.
“With this product, we hope to push the boundaries of what cyclists should come to expect from their GPS cycle computers,” Samuel Wang, CEO of Bryton Inc. stated. “Our team has been collaborating with top cyclists and coaches to solve the common difficulties that cyclists are facing while riding. When riding with teammates or friends, many cyclists know the difficulties of riding at different paces, easily getting split up and not knowing where their partners are or what their current status is. Furthermore, staying connected with coaches or teammates gives you the advantage of having someone to monitor the status of each rider and provide instructions when necessary. Our goal with this addition to the S lineup is not only to offer top-of-the-line new features, but also to bring people together like never before with innovative features like instant voice-to-text messaging implemented into Group Chat so that riders can safely stay in communication without pausing their ride to check their phone.”
The Bryton Rider S800 will be officially launched in April, and will be initially released with 2 different sensor bundle packages, starting at €399.95/£339.99/$399.95/AUD649.95 for the basic “E” bundle (device, protective case, screen protector, sport mount and safety lanyard) and €479.95/£409.99/$479.95/AUD789.95 for the sensor “T” bundle, which also includes 3 BLE/ANT+ sensors (device, protective case, screen protector, sport mount, safety lanyard, as well as speed, cadence and heart rate sensors).
Extra-Large Crisp MIP Display
Designed with the 3.4” large display, the Rider S800 utilizes MIP (Memory In Pixel) technology coupled with an internal reflection layer to be optimized for a better outdoor viewing experience without screen shadow. The extra wide MIP display with ultra narrow bezel offers both crisp, high-contrast readability and a high screen ratio, making this GPS cycle computer Bryton’s premiere device with clarity without compromise!
36hr Battery Life
Employing the MIP display and enhancements to increase efficiency, the Rider S800 low power-consumption in combination with its large battery helps to increase its overall efficiency, expanding its total battery life up to an enormous 36 hours. Without viewing map pages, the Rider S800 is able to extend its battery life to more than 40 hours of continuous use.
