Know Before You Buy! || Bryton Rider 750 SE Review

[@mlegrand]

This is the best place to buy the 750 SE : amzn.to/3sGfsZ8

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot1985]

I've been using my 750E for the past 2 years now, before that I had on of their currently discontinued models the Rider 330E. The 330 worked great for me when I was commuting 10 mi. a day on fixed gear. The 750 was a big game changer for me when I purchased a new road bike this year with sram axs etap, as well as purchasing both the speed and cadence sensors from garmin.

[@mlegrand]

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear it's been a solid option over the years. 👌

[@johns243]

One thing the Bryton does, that not many others do, is store and allows you to set an absolute Odometer reading for your bike. This is great when you want to change to a new computer on an older bike and you want to preserve the total Km's history for servicing tracking. It keeps this parameter on the device. Extremely handy for me.

[@mlegrand]

Yes, very cool! Thank you for posting about this!

[@edutoro11]

I had the first Rider 750 and it was an excellent bike computer for my needs.... Just bought the Hammer Head Karoo 2 and my mind was blown about so many features and the beautiful screen that this device has

[@mlegrand]

Great device. Glad you were able to snag it on discount!!! 👌

[@sephiroth7818]

I'm looking into the 750SE at the moment. I got a Rider 330 in like 2017 and then a rider 420 in like 2019. I haven't had any issues with those two Brytons. I had a Garmin Edge 500 before the Rider 330. The Rider 750 has been on my radar since it was first released.

[@mlegrand]

It’s a solid option. Others to consider might be the Wahoo Bolt or Garmin Edge 540. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@jonnycarlson9555]

I've had the old 750 for little over a month. I'm generally satisfied with that one. The screen could be a bit brighter and the battery life is OK but not more. On the other hand I bought it for 150$ with the aluminum bracket include. Great price for a touch screen device 😎

[@mlegrand]

I think that's where Bryton's sweet spot is. Low price / high value. But that's just my $0.02. 🤷🏻‍♂ $250 is getting dangerously close to some very competitive options. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@jonnycarlson9555]

@@mlegrand I had to go a bit budget because I upgraded to a Gardia radar and Assioma favero pedals the same time. I really appreciate the content 😁

[@mlegrand]

@@jonnycarlson9555 - Great choice on the pedals. I think that a good call. You could always upgrade bike computers after a few years but you’ll want that nice power meter in the mean time. 👌

[@lukenfoci]

I just got 750T (3 sensors included) for £150. Only bought it as I could not justify spending £60-£70 on wireless Sigma bike computer, or 420H... I am not so sure about the screen brightness... I am on a verge of returning it because of this. But there is nothing else on the market that gets even close to 750T at this price point.

[@Suppercamper]

I got a 750 se and it works great for me.

[@mlegrand]

Awesome! Glad it's working well for you! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@zdravo4]

I ordered mine from Bikeinn in Spain, it's 156€, that's far the cheapest on the Internet. Can't wait to come :D

[@mlegrand]

Is it the 750 SE or just the 750 E?

[@zdravo4]

@@mlegrand It's SE

[@mlegrand]

@@zdravo4 - Oh that's a great price. Nice work!

[@darex1307]

Nice video, thanks for this one. Cheers from Poland.

[@mlegrand]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Alexiiafuntime]

Yeah, well explain video except the navigation part. I mean as long as you update the software every month or every three months the navigation works fine and perfectly. I never had a problem with it.

[@mlegrand]

Awesome! Glad it's working well for you! It was a struggle for me but this video is a bit older now and I've been testing other devices. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@bonn1771]

Nice The turn thing would drive me crazy as I just moved to a new area

[@bonn1771]

And climb thing needs to be preloaded.

[@mlegrand]

Hope the move went well!

[@ericleclercq4801]

Hello, thank you for your videos! I watched this one as well as the S500 and I really hesitate between these two models what are the real differences? For you which model should I choose? Thanks to you.

[@mlegrand]

I'd probably lean towards the 750 SE at this point. Just make sure you get the current newer model and not the older 750. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@SHWELL11]

Do I buy this over my planned S800 purchase? I'm looking for a color touch screen for Under $350.

[@mlegrand]

This might be a good option. I'd probably also look at the Garmin Edge 540 and Wahoo Bolt v2. (but those aren't touch screens)

[@edutoro11]

... yes, I bought the HHK2 discounted! a complete Bargain for such a GREAT device

[@mlegrand]

Amazing!!! I’m not seeing it on discount any more for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@edutoro11]

@@mlegrand heap, I think discount is gone !!!

[@adammillsindustries.]

According to a good British engineer it’s very good.

[@mlegrand]

Yeah, I think the Bryton Rider 750 SE is pretty good also. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@matteo.borbonese]

Hi! What are exactly the differences with the S500 (obviously the screen size...)? Is there any performance difference? What about navigation? Do they still need a smartphone connection to reroute? Thanks

[@mlegrand]

Hi Matteo, main differences are larger battery life and the screen size. I think they both navigate similarly with the need of a connected smartphone.

[@matteo.borbonese]

@@mlegrand So same hardware and same responsiveness?

[@mlegrand]

@@matteo.borbonese - Well, it's hard to know what internals they use.

[@rossettoroxy8323]

Is this or Garmin Explore 2 better for mountain biking navigation? Greetings from Italy

[@mlegrand]

I can’t say for sure because I’ve never tested the Explore 2 on this channel. My gut feeling is that you’ll get more detailed trail names on the Garmin.

[@romeovirgilio]

Good morning, I bought a Bryton 750 SE but I don't understand either in the instructions or online how to mark the lap. You can help me? Thank you.

[@mlegrand]

It should be the bottom left button when you've got a ride going. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@smintken]

They did an update last month so u can made a lap withr the left Button. And u can now choose in the settings how the left button should work.

[@mlegrand]

@@smintken Oh that's good news. Glad to see them improving things!

[@msang17]

Using Bryton 750, no probs.

[@mlegrand]

Awesome! Glad it's working well for you.

[@mariolignini1512]

"Climb Challenge" works "free ride" or during planned ride only?

[@mlegrand]

Planned rides only. Or at least, that was the case the last time I tested this device. Wahoo, Garmin and HH Karro 2 have options where you get climbing data on free rides. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@AllanPhillips]

I replaced my Bryton Rider S800 with the iGPSport igs800, and it's far superior to the Bryton, both in hardware and particularly in software, as well as being slightly cheaper.

[@mlegrand]

I've considered reviewing that model here on this channel. It's hard to find the time to review all of this great gear out there. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@adammillsindustries.]

Does this one have the Strava Live Segments feature? The mounting looks disgraceful.

[@mlegrand]

The mounting is very similar to a Garmin cycling computer mount. Have you used a Garmin cycling computer? I haven't any issues over the years keeping it on the bike where it's suppose to be. This device didn't have Strava Live segments the last time I checked. I'm sure software updates are coming frequently.

[@adammillsindustries.]

@@mlegrand Great. The S model does. I might get an IGS unit for the most bang per buck ever.

[@mlegrand]

I wonder how accurate the GPS is on that IGS model. 🤔

[@johnnyboy4711]

worth upgrade from standard 750?

[@mlegrand]

Tough call. I think I’d wait and try to max out the value you got from the original 750. 🤔

[@WarToeBucketHead]

Which do you prefer? This one or hammerhead karoo?, i’m mainly looking for a good navigation computer with simple rerouting etc

[@mlegrand]

I think if you can find the HH Karoo 2 at a big discount like last month than that would be the way to go! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@elleffeff]

The battery life is reportedly much shorter for the Karoo. Less than half?

[@mlegrand]

@@elleffeff - I believe battery life for the HH Karoo 2 is pretty bad. 6-8 hours maybe? It depends on settings. It's one of the things I mentioned as a negative in my review for that device.

[@ckawaokaw]

Can you apply with a motorcycle?

[@mlegrand]

I’ve never tested that.

[@dereban5654]

I recently got a 750 without knowing that this model exists, is it worth returning it to get the SE? Or are they similar enough that it isn't worth the hassle?

[@mlegrand]

Depends on the price you ended up getting on that device. I’d probably want the newer one but I’m particular about those sorts of things.

[@orrinkelso9295]

I will never buy another Bryton product. I bought a Bryton Rider 750 which I really like but the battery failed after 4 months. They replaced it but it took over a month. The second one’s battery failed after 7 months and over 2 months later I have given up hope that they are going to replace it. Their customer service is terrible, so I recommend that you stay away from all Bryton products.

[@mlegrand]

Sorry you had such a bad experience. This is really good feedback for people to hear. Good or bad people need to know. Thanks for posting.

[@ASh-l9x8z]

It is rubbish. The unit itself is great, but the software and app are intolerable. Please, please, buy a Garmin.

[@mlegrand]

Garmin tends to be a market leader in this area and I think it’s for good reason. They’re well tested and while there are issues, Garmin tends to eventually get it all corrected. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
