GCN Tech Unboxing: New SIGMA Rox 12.0 Sport

We're back with another awesome GCN Tech Unboxing - this week Dan unveils the new SIGMA Rox 12.0 Sport bike computer. The best part is that two of you lucky viewers can get your hands on one!

In association with SIGMA.

This is the sport set, which comes with speed and cadence sensor and heart rate strap, plus various mounts and other sensors. It also has a big 240 X 400 touchscreen, although it also has physical buttons as well. Up/down, stop/start, lap and home.

It’s at the larger end of the on bike GPS head unit spectrum, but that’s to make way for this big, 3 inch colour screen. There’s also a large battery in here too which will power the device for 16 hours, or 40 in low power mode. It’s also got a punchy 8gb internal memory and space for an additional MircoSD card of up to 128GB. Excellent for downloading all the maps you could ever wish for, for free.

There are 8 ways for this device to plan routes for you. So, as well as street address, and POI, you can follow a route you’ve done before by simply selecting one of your previous rides from the archive, you can download one you’ve planned on Komoot, Strava or similar, or the magic trick. Draw it. Yep, draw it with your finger.

Another awesome unboxing, indeed. Thanks, Dan. And it is great to see you back in the air chair.

Nice implementation, having the button option for most of the usual functions. Will suit perfectly on my Ridley's stem.

I just got myself a new gravel bike having such a head unit would be forking awesome. I am getting back in to biking after a while of not having had the time and totally got my love back for it.

[schijtnaam]

I think I'm going to get this. I currently have the ROX 6.0 which I am very happy of.

[raymundnieves]

Its Amazing how many details have!! I will be happy to have one!!!!

[greg_loper]

Wait, Sy drinks beer and Dan unboxes??? Is this an alternate GCN universe???

[ngreen]

Dan are you sure you were born in 1992?

So this is a 3" android OS "phone" without a SIM port and a custom ROM with some eyecandy feature wrapped in a Sigma frame... You can do almost the same with an old ANT+ compatibile phone (e.g. Xperia Ray) and a few apps.

Hi, will this show me the range of my Ebike?

[davewalker]

Looking for a head unit. Need the long battery life which the Garmin range don't seem to offer so that it can be used on longer Audax rides without having to charge. Entered, fingers crossed.

[nationsnumberchump]

I could use this. my garmin edge 500 just isn't cutting it anymore. heart rate strap went bad and buttons keep getting jammed.

[boomerangfreak]

I've said it before on the previous video but this to me seems to have all the features I love from my current polar V650 unit with the added navigating options on top. Too bad it does cost a good chunk more though :(
Even from all the previous contests I entered if there is 1 I want to win the most it'd be this.

[cheesusslice]

Can you take calls on it or do you need to Bluetooth it to your phone

[damu]

does it have an audible alert for turn by turn navigation?

[manas.d_]

When are you’ll gonna tell the winners of the give away contest?

Hi. I have a question, I currently use the Sigma Rox 10.0 (it is actually the 2nd one in a row) I like it a lot. the reason being is I don't own a power meter on any of my bikes, but with the Rox 10.0 I can enter in my total weight (me & bike) and a few other details and with cadence and speed sensor it will give me and estimated power in real time out on the road. It is by no means as accurate as an actual power meter, it is close enough for training and great to switch from bike to bike with power. It is the only I know of on the market that does this without using an app and wifi. It is an amazing and useful part of the Rox 10.0 (which is also why I am on my 2nd one now) My question is does the new Sigma Rox 12.0 have this same function????
Thank you so much and would love to get one, especially if it has this same function as the 10.0

[tecnociclista]

Does it do ERG mode in workout mode? ;)

[rayndawg]

Right off the bat: the view screen is is only 6.5 cm x 3.0 cm. Discustingly small to view while in motion. Secondy there seems no way to delete or turn off the so called, training programs. I have no use whatsoever for thoseprograms. This thing came with the bike i just bought. Its aimost impossible to read while in motion. Exspecially with my prescripion sun gasses on, the display is not bright enough.

[chetlangford]

I did say it looked like a old mp3 player but jeez it has to much better than Garmin! I hate garmin and the help they offer, horrible! I would love to win it! I'll give everyone a full review on it from a noobs perspective lol great vids guys

[tonyka]

Oh cool better try to use this. Sick off using mobile phone. Phone Battery life not really good for ride um..
