Test: With its features and specifications, the Cateye Adventure CC-AT200W moves between the established camps of bike computers - it's not just a speedometer or speedometer, but it's also not a full-fledged bike computer for targeted training. Maybe that's why it's just the right thing for many hobby bikers.
Features
The functionality of the small black computer is clear, but well thought out. Let's start with what it doesn't offer: For example, neither the cadence nor the heart rate can be monitored - there are also no corresponding sensors available for expansion. The Adventure offers a barometric altitude measurement and of course the usual features such as speed, total distance, daily kilometers etc. The countdown function of the computer is also nice: If you know the total distance of your tour, you can enter it before the start and look through the computer display the remaining kilometers at any time. Not a function you absolutely need, but a nice bonus anyway.
Installation
Attaching the computer and the speed sensor works quickly and easily. The handlebar mount can be used for both the stem and the handlebars and can be fixed without tools. As is typical for Cateye, the setup is unfortunately not that easy. You get quite detailed instructions, but these consist mainly of pictures - sometimes we would have liked one or the other explanation in text form. But after about 15 minutes we are ready to go - pairing with the sensor takes longer than with other computers, but it worked right away.
Practice
In practice, the first thing that catches the eye is what Cateye calls "ClickTec Plus". By this, the developers understand the operation of the computer via a single button that is attached to the underside and is activated by pressing on the computer itself - no matter where. In practice, this system actually makes it easier to use - you can simply press anywhere on the computer at any time to scroll through the functions. The speed display dominates the sufficiently large display, which takes up about half of the area. Below that are two smaller lines, one of which permanently shows the current altitude and the gradient, the other is reserved for the remaining features such as daily kilometers, countdown, etc. The bottom line can then be scrolled through using the ClickTec button. Communication with the transmitter was always stable, we only had a short disruption during the test period, which could not be reproduced afterwards either.
