Why Is No One Talking About This Bike Computer? Bryton Rider 750 Review

[@mlegrand]

Congrats to IntroBro for winning this device!

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I love how you're from the US but you gave all the dimensions and weight of the bike computer in metric measurements. Thank you 🙏 I wish everyone in the states just switches to metric. If the government can't be half assed to do it, the public should just get on with it.

[@mlegrand]

Honestly, I should probably be giving both. My goal is to make it easy for the audience to figure out the size without them being able to have it in their hands or on their bike. Thank you so much for the comment NeutralGenericUser!

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Man the 750 is awesome! Have been using it for a year, and in the beginning i was a bit not stoked on the touch, but it grew on me. It has so many features, and the navigation is really really cool, especially the integration with komoot and strava for making routes and syncing them super fast. Great vid!

[@mlegrand]

Thanks for your feedback Patrick! I think this is what people need to hear about. So many people don’t know about this as an option. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

I've had the Bryton 750 for a year now after changing from Garmin . Its had a 5 or 6 firmware updates in the 12 months I've had it, which have all made its operation smoother and new features added. No regrets here👍

I just recently discovered your channel and have been really enjoying your thorough and balanced reviews - keep up the good work! This Bryton is definitely at an appealing price point for all those features but I think I’d lean towards the Wahoo Bolt v2 as I like the well thought out physical buttons.

[@tomu1207]

Hi Matt, thanks for the review. Very helpful as I’m looking for a new bike computer with GPS navigation and had only zeroed in on Garmin and Wahoo. I won’t be participating in any races or event, but I’m planning a short bicycle holiday later this year. I started on road cycling about 4 months ago, and it has been the best thing for me health wise, and mentally during the lock downs due to COVID-19 here in Thailand. I have now gotten my wife into the sport as well; we recently bought her a bike (Merida Scultura 400). Now back to the bicycle holiday later this year, in previous years we would usually do a road trip (with our electrical vehicle) as we get to see the country more compare to flying. Now, we are thinking back on the beautiful places we have seen, and would want to go back doing a couple rides as well. The exact location for our first trip would likely be around the beautiful Khao Yai National Park. I have gotten ok at planning routes on Komoot, but the challenge is to find the right bike computer with GPS navigation as the phone tends runs out of batteries around the 4 hrs mark. I hopeful that we will have many trips like this in the future, and it would be great with to have a solid bike computer help us navigate.

[@mlegrand]

Yeah, Komoot seems to be a great tool for planning these rides. Almost all of these computers with navigation should be able to support that option. Sounds like an amazing trip. Hopefully you'll check back in and let me know how it goes when you're done. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

You can modify the Garmin mount or the Bryton to fit the mount. To do so u either shorten the little pie shaped bumps on the Garmin mount or make the little dimples longer on the Bryton. Don't try to use a Garmin on the Bryton mount though.

Yeah, good question Tom. I didn't seem any crazy customization options for the Varia stuff. And no led indicator lights like Wahoo.

I had to laugh when he tried to use the search destination by voice function - it's very much like their customer service i.e. non-existent. I've tried to contact Brytons customer service with a couple of queries but they just don't reply. I was considering this device but will be going with one of the other three main players in the bike computer market now.

[@mlegrand]

Sorry you’ve had such a hard time with customer service. One of the videos I want to make is something about which company has the best customer service. I don’t think it’d get many views but I think it’d be interesting.

[@simonc61]

@@mlegrand it's like they don't have anyone in their office? I've even emailed their parent company here in the UK, Zyro Fisher but heard nothing. Hammerhead seem to have the best customer service from what I've seen so far. I'm just not sure I want to spend that much on a device?

[@mlegrand]

@@simonc61 - I'm also very curious if there might be a HH Karoo 3 in the near future. I have no idea but it seems like it's overdue for a hardware update.

[@simonc61]

You can guarantee there will be. I may still take a chance and go for the Bryton . I watched a few videos, including yours (excellent btw) and it seems to offer a lot for not much money. I can't remember ever needing to call Garmins support so maybe Brytons lack of communication isn't such a deal-breaker. They were offering a 20% if you subscribe to their email newsletter but I've had no response to that either!

[@miksterr]

Matt, great review. Have been in lockdown in Australia and limited to 5km! radius, now10km so I'm zig-zagging all round town.

[@mlegrand]

Dang, that’s hard. I hope things improve with warmer weather down there. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@kithinders1086]

LOOK AT YOU, International celebrity! Mapping comparable to Garmin/Wahoo, IE - will put you on a sidewalk if you ask for directions in the middle of a ride? Does it have a screen sleep function? Garmin has one, where you can turn off the display, but still record everything. I have gotten 30+ hours out of a charge doing that. Fall is mountain bike season here, how does it do off road? With that, adventures are all mountain bike based and stupid fun. Be on lookout for a message, I'll show you latest. XOXO

[@mlegrand]

Yeah, I took it mountain biking. It doesn't have anything MTB specific like Garmin but it works. And yeah, navigation . . . I think Garmin is the company that could really look at their massive database and look at decent spots to route as opposed to "Take the sidewalk" Thanks for watching this one. 🙌

touchscreen is not responsive vs garmin

[@mlegrand]

The Garmin 820 touchscreen was a nightmare. I think Garmin has improved a lot but all of there touchscreens have not been perfect. 😬

[@zzhunt3254]

Bro Garmin 540 is 330 euro.

[@mlegrand]

Nice! That's a great device!!!

[@edutoro11]

Many firmware updates to this device have corrected all the dislikes of this video, Matt. You should give it a second long time review

[@mlegrand]

That's a great idea Eduardo! It's really good to see Bryton updating all of these items.

[@alessandro2416]

Now is 169€ with all sensors

[@mlegrand]

That's an amazing deal. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@atexnik]

Bryton's support is just crap, they don't answer to requests, there are no forums to discuss issues, there are no firmware release notes page on their website to check the development progress, and the community is so small, that once invested in their product you probably won't be able to resell it as the retail price point is ridiculously high. And one more thing: even this expensive head unit from Bryton still lacks the ability to control light. Right now, only Garmin and Hammerhead (Karoo) can do that, for me that means they do care for their customers more than Bryton or Wahoo. So if I ever replace my Edge 130 Plus, that would be something from upcoming x40 series from Garmin or Karoo 3, if they fix the battery life.

[@mlegrand]

Yeah, that's a really good point that a lot of people really don't think about. There's a lot more than just the product to think about buying these things. Community and support is often overlooked. And it's critical when things go wrong. Reddit maybe? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@avronaut]

Why Is No One Talking About This Bike Computer? Too many restrictions.

[@mlegrand]

What kind of restrictions are you referring to here? (just curious)

[@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]

This is really good feedback for people to hear. Good or bad people need to know. Thanks for posting.

[@fede83]

Schermo non all'altezza si vede veramente poco inutilizzabile in mtb. Batteria dura veramente poco non le 20 ore. Non lo consiglio peccato

[@mlegrand]

Good feedback for people to read when figuring this stuff out. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@kophotography895]

This Bike Device is absolutely rubbish for the money...

[@mlegrand]

Has that been your experience? Just curious about your experience. I haven’t found it to be that bad. Thanks for any feedback.

[@AF-cg2es]

Bryton are Taiwanese. You get nothing but quality with Taiwan products.

[@mlegrand]

Awesome! Glad you’ve had a good experience.
