Polar CS400 Cycling Heart Rate Monitor
still a reference
By Jean-Yves Couput
Ranked #23 - Heart Rate Monitors
January 1, 2010
I used a suunto watch with cycling sensor, a garmin 705 and this polar CS 400...
The most adapted to cycling is doubtlessly the CS400. Intuitive navigation, good visibility, personalized screen and easy to manipulate even with gloves (the thinner the better). The steepness is quite accurate which is not easy for devices which are not GPS enabled. One comment however: one of my bike has a very short stem and an aero bar. I've been unable to use the stem set up and the handlebar set up.
