dbotha Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Looking at getting a Bryton for MTB, Yay or Nay?
Butterbean Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I loved my Bryton, but support isn't as good as Garmin... But if it's cheap enough, they're good enough... And more.
Thomo Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Something to consider perhaps.Haven't read recently and not too sure about current status. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/172080-brytoncoza-closed/
T-Bob Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Never had an issue with them. Good bits of kit at a decent price. Local support is average but the international guys are excellent. Any issues contact them direct. Garmin vs everything else much is like Toyota drivers vs everything else... there isn’t anything else. Ever. So don’t talk about it.
Fruity Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Got myself a Bryton Rider 20 a few years ago. Didn't bother using it, and when I did eventually decide to try it out, it wouldn't charge. I still have it, and it's collecting dust in its box.
the nerd Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Loved mine, no issues when I had. Only changed to Garmin for the wrist based GPS
Red Bird Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 My Bryton Rider 21 lasted for four years until the charger could not make contact anymore on the device. And the bike mount cracked in half. Have a Bryton 310 now and works well with wifi/bluetooth connection to phone. Picks up Garmin HR monitor and cadence sensor no questions asked. Battery lasts a few rides and more. Charging port is much better (like phone) but if something goes wrong, I would not be able to get it fixed locally. Replacement parts can be ordered from Amazon where I got mine for much cheaper than here.
DieselnDust Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 The Giant branded version seems to get good feedback from customers and the back up from Dragons Sports is always superb so this may be a good option
HdB Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 My Rider 20 worked perfectly for quite a few years, eventually the charger connection wore out as well.The new ones seem decent, they have a lot of features for the money. Support and software (website wise) might not compare with Garmin or Wahoo though.I get the same impression with my Lezyne gps - great hardware, software and support average.
Red Bird Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 One more thing: medical aid might not support Bryton (at least Momentum does not). You will have to connect Bryton to Strava first. Just another thought...

slakke3 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 NaySafe your money get a Garmin.Goedkoop koop is duurkoop.
GavS Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 One more thing: medical aid might not support Bryton (at least Momentum does not). You will have to connect Bryton to Strava first. Just another thought... Doesnt work at all with medical aids. Went Garmin to get the points Medical aids dont use strava anyway due to people fraudulently capturing activities manually
