Sigma’s ROX computers have been around for quite a while, offering GPS-enabled ride tracking in a more classically compact cycling computer for those riders not looking to have a huge mapping screen strapped to the bar. Displaying the most common ride metrics and with competitive pricing, the ROX line-up has offered solid value for cyclists looking to track their rides. The latest generation debuted back at Eurobike last autumn added on more customization of the data screen, Strava segment integration, and wireless connectivity in the top model. The two new devices – the ROX GPS 7.0 & ROX GPS 10.0 – are now available, and to reward return customers Sigma is offering a 30% off deal for the new computers. Check out the features of both and how to get in on the discount after the break (even if you are new to the ROX)…
We mostly focused on the features of the top ROX 11.0 back in the fall. Combining ANT+ & Bluetooth LE connectivity, the $180 Sigma Rox 11.0 GPS is the most full-featured of the two. The ROX 11 pairs with mobile devices and Sigma’s cloud storage via the Sigma Link mobile app and includes full riding tracking, multi-format performance sensor data logging (with dual sided power), breadcrumb GPS track navigation, plus Strava live segments, automatic ride uploads, smart notifications, and eTap/Di2 compatibility.
For just a bit less at $150, the more affordable Sigma Rox 7.0 GPS drops both ANT+ & Bluetooth, so you lose all of the sensor connectivity, the live updating features, and automatic uploads that build on pairing it with a mobile phone. But it is still designed to work with Sigma’s online data center off-the-bike when plugged into a computer via micro-USB where you can also customize the data field layouts and even upload Strava segments so you can challenge your self out on the road. It also offers a simple platform to plan out breadcrumb tracks to navigate to, where you can even add waypoints with custom text fields for useful on the go information.
Both devices share the same compact 73.5 x 50 x 21.5mm form factor, with a 1.7″ single color 160 x 128px display, and four buttons to navigate their functions. Besides availability of the new devices, the new Sigma Link app is now available in both the Google Play & Apple App Stores offering the full wireless connectivity, route planning, and automatic uploads to Strava & Training Peaks.
Sigma’s 30% off deal is targeted at rewarding return customer, but looks like it is available to new buyers as well, until the end of March. To get the discount, enter promo code: LOYALROX at checkout, which also includes free shipping for the devices in the US.
