Vikt polar 650

With origins in cross country skiing, Finnish brand Polar has been around since the late s and launched the world’s first wireless heart rate monitor way back in While long a pioneer in wearable fitness technology – most notably watches, which continue to provide the bulk of its product catalogue in – the recently-arrived V marks Polar’s first serious foray into the burgeoning GPS cycling computer sector.

As a devoted disciple of GPS/ride data across multiple brands and platforms, this is an impressive piece of cyclo-tech. But, as we’ll get to in a moment, it isn’t quite perfect. For this reason, rather than call it a bona fide game changer it’s probably best described as a ‘game joiner’. It will certainly have rivals taking notice. But not quite quaking in their cleats – not yet, anyway.
Out of the box it’s clear the V is seriously well made. With an IPX7 water resistance rating and high quality finish it looks and feels like the premium gadget it is. At x63x15mm it’s bigger, albeit thinner, than most of its rivals and also weighs a little more at g. But it still nestles snuggly on your stem via the twist
