5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great Puter, December 31, 2010
By Garv
Bike computers can be a fickle lot, so this review is based on the first 400+ miles of use. So far, so very good.I'm a data junkie and I've owned countless computers from manufacturers like Cateye, Specialized,Sigma and Mavic. In terms of the amount of data available, this is the most I have experienced in a cyclocomputer. That can be a plus or a definite minus if you can't access it easily, especially while riding. But getting to any data you want is surprisingly easy with this VDO model. The 4 main buttons (2 left and 2 right)each have their specific functions categorized per each button.The upper left button, labelled A, has all the altitude data. The upper right button is labelled P and has the power and stopwatch functions. The other 2 buttons divide the data into the typical bike computer functions (lower left) and the not so often used bike functions on the lower right.A list of all the functions is available here on Amazon or at the VDO site.

The main function of this review needs to be about performance and perform is what this gem does. It transmits the data accurately and with speed and precision, probably because of the nature of the ant+ system of digital transmission. The altitude features appear to be on a par with the Specialized model that was previously my personal all-time favorite.The display shows most of the important data all at once with three separate lines that are quite visible while riding. With the optional cadence unit attached, you can see speed, cadence, temperature, altitude, gradient% and either bike or additional altitude functions. For the data junkie - a lot of stuff to see. Although this model is not PC dockable, you can easily give the unit a little twist and bring it indoors to transfer manually, if you need to. Speaking of other uses, this cyclocomputer doubles as a hiking wristwatch also and even includes a wristband for that purpose. The most useful hiking functions are the altitude features.

To sum up, the VDO Z1 is a ruggedly built, fully functioneing computer and does exactly what it says it will do and does it extremely well. There are a select few 5 star perfect products in the bicycle equipment world and I would have to say this is one of them.
