Charge to Lead with the CS500+

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 To help you in shaving seconds from your time, Polar has just launched the CS500+ cycling computer. Compared to the CS500, this refreshed version comes with an extended memory capacity that allows you to store more hours of highly accurate power data from the compatible Kéo Power pedals. If the product is used with a power measurement accessory, the memory recording rate is automatically set to 1 second to ensure you will get the most accurate cycling data possible. The extended memory capacity guarantees you will have all the necessary data to optimize your training on those long rides.

The Polar CS500+ contains a wide range of features that can coach you to better results, combining personal body information with versatile cycling data. By measuring your speed, distance and heart rate, you will know you are cycling at the right intensity and can see how many calories you are burning on your rides. With a unique rocker switch operation, oversized display and reliable bike mount, the CS500+ allows effortless operation even at high speeds.

After the ride, you can transfer your training files with the compatible Polar DataLink to analyze your session in detail at polarpersonaltrainer.com. Its Training Load feature can now be seen as a graph, telling you when you will have recovered enough for your next session. You can also share your rides online with your Facebook friends by using the share button on the training session overview.

Weighing only 50 grams, the CS500+ comes with the CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. and the sturdy Dual Lock Bike Mount for road and mountain biking, or in a more extensive set with the CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. as well. Both sets include the comfortable WearLink+ transmitter W.I.N.D. and a getting started guide. Polar DataLink, CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. and Polar LOOK Kéo Power pedals can be purchased separately as accessories.
