5 Stars Good value for money
Finally,I know exactly the distance I am going!Plus average speed max speed and time on the bicycle. The only non accurate display is the calories burnt.I wear a HRM and my number at the end is by far bigger!So don’t rely on this a lot….Easy to mount and use just a push of only one button.I like the cateye products.They look good and they are easy to use.

5 Stars Easy to install
I had no trouble installing on my bicycle. I compared to other computers and it was right within .2

4 Stars Nice little unit
Got this for my new bike. It’s wired and a breeze to install with the included zip ties. If you’re having issues with the installation go to the cateye website, where there are better instructions than what are included. Only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because the unit is smaller than I expected and it’s hard to read the smaller letters while you’re riding. Other than that, it works as advertised.

4 Stars cateye cc-vl810
Very nice little unit,easy to install.I would of gave it 5 stars, if not for the calorie counter being so inaccurate.Go to the website caloriesperhour.com and click on bike calories burned,the cateye is about 50 to 60 % off.

3 Stars You need really good eyes!
Probably this miny computer works well, but it’s too small and difficult to read …can you immagine to stop in the street and try to read the information you need?

The BC 1606L provides a better overview of the essential information during a ride by hiding the total accumulated functions and cadence if not installed. The backlight gives optimal readability of this information even in the dark. An integrated storage chip prevents the loss of set values during battery change as features such trip section counter, timer, and second wheel size are programmable. Dot Matrix display – clearer display through full text indication between values. Active mode without total values – total values faded while riding to enable better focusing on the necessary functions. Backlight – optimal readability even after nightfall.

4 Stars REAL NICE!
i did some research befor buying just any computer. i have a Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc mountain bike. it has a heavy duty frame thats made of thick squared tubing. because of this it was alittle hard to insatll the magnets and have them read properly due to the distance, they need to be pretty close. but im a clever dude and rigged it up perfect. not sure if the MPH is accurate yet but i will have that tested soon also. they cadence feature is cool too. it measures your pedal RPM, for some its worth having for road use but off road its just another extra sometimes used. so, the degree of difficulty of self install was the only reason i gave this product a 4 which is more like a 4.5 out of 5. well worth the money. buy it and have a pro install it if you can and tell them you got it as a gift. they get all testy when you dont buy there over priced models

3 Stars Good Value
The only thing I have to compare this to is a cheapy $8 one I had from Kmart many years ago. This Sigma 1606L has many more features including cadence which I use often. The data it collects per trip ( average speed, average cadence, max speed, trip time, trip distance) is saved so I can transfer it to a spreadsheet to track how I’m doing. It’s easy to remove from it’s base using a bayonet style attachment, which I have placed on the handlebar stem. I was not impressed when I saw how the parts mount to the bike, thin rubber O-rings loop around sensor and fork, or baseplate and stem to stay in place, but after 1000 miles on streets and bike paths everything has held together. It always shows current speed plus any other selected single feature, like cadence or time.

Why only 3 stars?

1) Lacks a scan feature, so I must push a button repeatedly to get to view the function I want. An auto scan feature would allow me to keep my hands on the grips where they belong.

2) The wiring is somewhat flimsy. Small gauge wire is subject to breaking if put under any stress.

3) Speed readout shows only the closest half mile interval, doesn’t show tenths. For example, it reads either 12.0 MPH or 12.5 MPH missing 12.1, 12.2,etc.

I am actually very happy with this nicely designed and low cost unit. Mine came with a second mounting for a second bike, data for which it tracks separately. After 8 months of use over many miles, it has served me well.

5 Stars Been using sigma for 7+ years…
I’ve used the Sigma 1600L and its predecessor the 1600. Sigma makes a great computer in the 1600 series. They keep track of two bikes wheels (thus two bikes) as well as two odometers and a combined odometer. Its great if you have two bikes because all you need is an extra mount and you are set. the cadence feature is an easy add-on, and not available in most computers at this prices. It has all the regular stuff… like actual and average speed, trip computers, etc.

5 Stars Great Unit!!!!!!!
I not only use this on my bicycle but adapted it to my motorcycle! Yep- it works great for that too! Easy to use, reliable, easy to read, easy to install. I would recommend it to anyone.

4 Stars Good Value, Easy to Use
Like the product…easy to read screen. Easy to go through the different functions. Easy to install.

Light works well but I wish it stayed on longer…(only for 3 seconds I believe). The buttons aren’t labeled at all so you have to get use to what button works for what.

The BC 906 has everything a bike rider needs. Next to standard functions this all around computer is equipped with average speed. The computer is easily programmable with click buttons. If the battery is running low, a reminder alarms the bike rider before it is too late.

5 Stars Very dependable and accurate
I purchased the Sigma Bc906 because the Bell unit that i had installed

was very erratic. After mounting the Sigma to my motorized bike it was

very accurate and dependable. I tested it by riding towards a roadside

radar display, and the Sigma matched the speed shown on the radar display.

I did have to reprogram the wheel dimensions twice, but after that it was

right on the money! Can’t beat it

4 Stars Great German Quality
This is my 3rd Sigma and Ive only had great experience with their cyclocomputers. Easy to install within 30 minutes and option to have on stem or bar. Chose the stem like many of the pros. No tools are needed just elastic bands and a plastic tie for the wire down the fork. Easy to read and the buttons are very easy to access. Readouts seem accurate and the arrow up or down to show you where you are on the average speed is great.

Only gripe is when to reset for another ride you need to reset each reading (trip time, average speed, fastest speed…) in my past sigmas, I reset the trip time and it reset all the other readings.

5 Stars Excellent tool for the money
I have had this item for about 3 years now, and can say I am fully satisfied. I was looking for an inexpensive (less than $30) cycling computer, needed something that could tell me time, speed, trip distance, average speed… and found this beauty.

You won’t be disappointed with this cycling computer!

1 Star Sigma BC 906 Bike Computer
Sorry, I cannot agree w/ the reviews. I am returning this bike computer.

Reason: This computer has cancelled out the trip distance every single time. Not once have I seen the milage biked. The distance biked jumped to 35 miles after a brief stop when I had biked only abt 11 miles. The O-rings attaching the bike computer to the handle bars are pathetic to put it mildly. If they break, the computer probably will hit the pavement.

Not recommended.

3 Stars Track car speedo
I have a small track car (Lotus 7) that does not have a working speedometer. The transmission itself does not have an exit port for the cable. The Sigma speedo was epoxied in place, the cable was lengthened and now it is ready to be used.SIGMA BC906 9-Function Topline Wired Bicycle Speedometer
