Bryton Rider 550 GPS Bike Computer – 2.8" Colour Display, 37-Hour Battery & Smart Trainer Control

The Bryton Rider 550 is a full-featured GPS bike computer with a 2.8-inch full-colour TFT LCD display, 37-hour battery life, and a comprehensive sensor and training ecosystem — available as a Device Only or as a Sensor Bundle including a Smart Cadence Sensor and Heart Rate Monitor. It's positioned as a capable mid-range cycling computer for road, gravel, MTB, and indoor training use, with a strong feature set for structured training and navigation at a competitive price point. The ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness for optimal visibility in all conditions.

Navigation features include Intersection Snapshot — a visual preview of upcoming junctions to guide you through complex turns without stopping — and Climb Challenge, which provides detailed gradient and elevation statistics for each climb. The Quick Status menu consolidates battery level, sensor status, notifications, and Live Track into a single screen. For training, the Rider 550 syncs with TrainingPeaks for structured workout execution with target and duration tracking, and connects to ANT+ FE-C smart trainers for resistance control and power-based indoor sessions. It's also compatible with the Bryton Gardia 300L radar for on-screen vehicle alerts, and supports Shimano Steps e-bike platforms. Connectivity is via ANT+ and Bluetooth, covering the full range of heart rate monitors, power meters, speed and cadence sensors, and lights. Live Track and Group Ride features share your location in real time via the Bryton Active App.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Device Only and Sensor Bundle?
The Device Only variant includes the Rider 550 computer and mount. The Sensor Bundle adds a Smart Cadence Sensor and Heart Rate Monitor, giving you everything you need to track cadence and heart rate from the first ride. If you already have compatible ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors, the Device Only is the more economical choice.

Does it support smart trainers for indoor training?
Yes — the Rider 550 connects to ANT+ FE-C smart trainers, allowing you to control resistance and execute structured power-based workouts directly from the device. Combined with TrainingPeaks integration, it's a capable indoor training tool without needing a separate head unit or app.

Is it compatible with the Bryton Gardia radar?
Yes — the Rider 550 is compatible with the Bryton Gardia 300L Rear Light & Radar, displaying approaching vehicle alerts on screen so you can monitor traffic without looking behind you.

Is it waterproof?
The Rider 550 is rated for incidental water exposure up to 1 metre for 30 minutes, making it suitable for riding in rain and wet conditions. It is not designed for sustained submersion.
