Eagle_i Posted April 22 Posted April 22 hi, hubbers... i am looking for a value for money cycling computer... i have stumbled accross the XOSS 2nd Generation G/G+ , XOSS NAV+ and Blackbird BB18 thay's fairly affordable... any advice and comments on these from hubbers that are using these or other models...
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Magene also looks like a good option. Compatible with Garmin. Ask on the Temu cycling goods alias. Lots of good info there. And keep us upadated on your experiences Eagle_i 1
Mook Posted April 23 Posted April 23 I have had my XOSS 1st Gen unit for 5-6 years. It is basic, BUT it does these basics very well and consistently so. Battery life is still remarkable. Cons are 1)no Windows support to run on a PC(mobile app. only) and 2)Rather small screen. Speed display is good, but Distance, Elevation, Ride time etc is very small. In a nutshell, XOSS is a solid brand. My experience .... Eagle_i 1
Jensie Posted Thursday at 12:53 PM Posted Thursday at 12:53 PM I depends what you want out of it, premium features for budget price. Go for the Magene/Geoid. Same computers just different branded, does everything a Garmin does at a fraction. I used the Magene C706 although a lot more expensive but has all the bells and whistles https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010724239111.html Eagle_i 1

Guest who got away with the bone, Amazon SA... i was not expecting that...

Edited Thursday at 08:41 PM by Eagle_i mistakenly indicated geoid CC700 pro for R 2076.33

Gerlash, thanks for pointing out that mistake i made, corrected it... looks like the main difference between the normal and pro version is IPX7 waterproofing, better quality manufacturing and message notification and obviously software version differences i assume...

Actually got a bit more then that. Got more memory, it's touch screen, got maps and some more stuff. Here is the info I pulled quickly: The Geoid CC700 Pro is a significant upgrade over the standard CC700, featuring a 2.8-inch color touchscreen, 8GB storage, map-based navigation, and DJI Action camera control, whereas the standard CC700 uses 3-button control. The Pro model enables 1000km route support compared to 300km on the base model. Key Differences Between Geoid CC700 and CC700 Pro Interaction: The Pro model features a smooth touchscreen, while the standard CC700 is controlled by 3 buttons. Navigation: The Pro features interactive map navigation (view routes in detail), while the standard version features basic route navigation. Storage: The Pro offers 8GB of storage (allowing for more maps and data), whereas the CC700 has 100h of data storage. Functionality: The Pro supports DJI Action 4/5Pro camera control, which is absent on the standard model. Routes: The Pro supports longer, 1000km single routes; the CC700 supports 300km. Data Density: The Pro features detailed information display for smart notifications. Edited Friday at 05:02 AM by Gerlach Eagle_i 1
Jensie Posted Friday at 06:04 AM Posted Friday at 06:04 AM (edited) Wow Amazon.co.za is a rip off. Geoid CC700pro at R3000 vs Aliexpress at R1571 + R35 for shipping. Aliexpress CC700 at R923 Edited Friday at 06:07 AM by Jensie

Aliexpress CC700 at R923 The question is, what is included with that price at amazon? The price of the unit went up in the last 2 months. I paid in Jan R1545.77 for the full packed, that was a bike mount, 2 sensors and Hr sensor with strap. If you take that option now it will be R2209.64. Eagle_i 1
