Bryton

Yes, the Rider 750 is Bryton’s top-of-the-range model: colour display, mapping, adaptive coaching and a 40-hour battery life. Compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth, it connects to all standard sensors on the market (power, heart rate, cadence). The mapping navigation is based on OpenStreetMap, similar to Garmin. Its touchscreen and button interface is highly rated for its ease of use.

Yes, Bryton was founded in Taiwan in 2008 by former Garmin GPS engineers. This background explains the technical similarities between the two brands. Bryton first established itself in Asian markets before expanding into Europe. The brand offers excellent value for money, without the marketing costs of the big brands.

Yes: all recent Bryton cycle computers are compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth. Power, heart rate, cadence and speed sensors, Garmin Varia radar, and connected lights. Pairing is done via the bike computer’s sensors menu in just a few seconds. Bryton is ANT+ Alliance certified, guaranteeing compatibility with the entire ecosystem.

Via the Bryton Active app on your smartphone: import the GPX file and send it to the bike computer via Bluetooth. USB method: connect the bike computer to your computer and copy the .gpx file into the ‘Route’ folder. Bryton Active also allows you to import routes directly from Komoot and Strava. Once imported, the route is available in the device’s Navigation menu.

Yes: Bryton Active automatically syncs activities to Strava, Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks and other platforms. Synchronisation takes place via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth as soon as the ride ends. Files are saved in .fit format, which is compatible with all platforms.

The advertised battery life is 40 hours, confirmed by user tests in standard GPS mode. With the backlight on and sensors connected, expect 30–35 hours in practice. This is longer than most non-Solar Garmin Edge models. Charging is via USB-C on recent models.

Bryton offers a similar climb display feature on its recent models (Rider 750, Rider 760). The real-time climb profile display is available when navigating a loaded route. The Bryton version is functionally similar to Garmin’s ClimbPro, although the interface differs slightly.

Bryton maps are based on OpenStreetMap, the same source as Garmin Cycle Map. Map quality is therefore comparable, with variations depending on the region. Bryton does not offer premium global mapping like the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar, but the pre-loaded regional maps cover Europe very well.

No, Bryton does not manufacture power meters. However, its GPS devices are compatible with all power meters on the market (Stages, Quarq, 4iiii, Garmin Rally, etc.). Connection is via ANT+ or Bluetooth directly from the Bryton’s sensors menu.
