Coros launches £249 Dura cycle computer
Will this solar-powered GPS bike computer outshine Wahoo and Garmin with its "flawless operation" and "ample battery life"? Here are our first impressionsKnown for their GPS sport watches, California-based Coros has now added a solar GPS bike computer to their lineup. Claiming to offer"groundbreaking battery life" and"crystal clear visibility", here are the full details and our initial impressions of the Coros Dura.
Like other Coros devices, the Dura integrates with mapping and analysis tools such as Komoot, Strava, Training Peaks and Ride with GPS. Notably, the Dura also includes a smart re-route feature using Google Maps.The Coros Dura is a solar GPS bike computer that claims to support up to 120 hours of battery life with full GPS on a single charge. Its solar panels can add up to two hours of additional ride time for every hour of direct sunlight exposure during a ride.
The solar panel is the largest I've seen on a bike computer, significantly bigger than the one on the Garmin 1040 Solar. The tradeoff is screen size; while the screen is larger than that of a Wahoo Bolt and sufficient for displaying key metrics, it falls short compared to other computers with a similar footprint. Although we haven't fully tested the device's battery life, the battery only drained a few percent when used for most of a working day.
Even with only a quick play, it's clear that the Dura won't be for everyone. Think of it as a specialist tool. Coros themselves stated that they "didn't want to develop a new head unit without creating something different" - and different it is. Our initial impressions are positive!
