They did keep limited post-ride data that you’d need to manually enter into your spreadsheets if you didn’t want it to disappear into the ether at the end of your ride, but that was an inconvenient and inelegant way of keeping track of your cycling. So why would anybody use it? The case for downsizingīack when GPS computers emerged, a big part of their appeal was that they recorded your ride path and its data, where magnet-based units were really only useful for live data. Smartwatches have been tackling the circular screen issue for a few years now, but none of that tech has made it to the bike yet. Still, I think it looks beautiful on my bike, and it really does stand out. (L-R) Hammerhead Mount, Snark Ukelele Tuner, CatEye Quick
It doesn’t look worlds apart from my ukelele tuner, now I think about it. The Quick’s aesthetic might not be to everybody’s taste. Image from BikeInn’s listing, and presumably originally from CatEye. For me, it looks just atrocious and silly in anything other than all-black. The US and EU markets got a few variations all featuring red, white, and black, though some Japanese models are more colorful. And its inverted LCD screen both stands out from the crowd and provides awesome readability.ĬatEye have made a few color options for the Quick. The Omata definitely has it on looks-its retro speedometer design is spectacular. Its closest counterpart is the equally postmodern Omata One, an analogue dial-based GPS unit that’s ten times the price and much bigger and heavier. The Quick is a unique out-front circular-faced head-unit that goes deep into postmodernism with its mid-century retro styling and 1990s retro LCD functionality. That’s a roundabout way of saying this: it’s all about the aesthetic.
The sensor on your forks is wireless with a short range, and that’s it. This is an old-school bike computer, magnet on the spokes and all. It doesn’t have GPS, and it won’t connect to your phone. ***Shortlister retains the exclusive right to grant or deny access to any party to ensure the privacy of the vendors in our system.The CatEye Quick is a basic bike computer.
