About CateyeFounded in 1946 in Osaka, Japan, CatEye is the leading manufacturer of cycle computers, lights, and reflectors to cyclists in the world.

The company's Opticube lens and reflectors make the brightest and most efficient LED headlights. while their LD500 remains the only rear safety light that can meet the rigorous CPSC standards for reflectivity.

Customer Reviews

I read about the available computers and needed both the speed and cadence, since I wanted to train for a long distance race. Based on the reviews and opinions, I settled on the CatEye V2.
While I was waiting for the computer to be delivered, I downloaded and read the manuals. One common strain in all the user reviews was the not-so-easy install. I was prepared for this and got some extra nylon ties and mounting tape ready.
Once the computer was in, it was as I expected. The speed sensor and magnet was easy, but getting the cadence magnet set was not easy. The recommended distance between the sensor and the magnet was 5 mm, and there was no way I could get the distance to 5mm. FYI, I have a Trek 7.3FX. Some serious mounting tape later, voila, I have both speed and cadence. Computer set-up took 5 minutes. Rim size and units set up, I took the bike out for a nice long ride.
On a 40 mile trek, I have observed the distance measurement to be pretty accurate. I used the mile markers along the bike trail and found the distance to be off by 0.5 miles over the entire 40 miles. The cadence and speed measurements were accurate too (calculated the average speed using my stop clock and the distance from the mile markers). The wireless transmission was never off, even when I was passing power lines or going over some serious bumps
The buttons are a little hard to press and I had to use my finger nails. The backlight was effective even in daylight (haven't tested it out in the night yet). All in all, a very nice computer. Wish CatEye would have provided an option to download the files to a personal computer.
PS: On the way back, the cadence magnet was knocked off kilter. I guess I have to anchor the magnet more firmly to the crank.

I have had my Cateye V2C for 10 months now and have just had to send it back for repair because one of the tiny push buttons has quit working and I can no longer change screen. It comes with a two year guarantee so I anticipate repair or replacement with no problem, but this should not happen.
Although the product does everything it says on the box (until the failure mentioned above) I have been disappointed for the following reasons:
- the display is too small - the third row of digits giving time and distance etc. is especially hard to read. Speed and cadence are OK.
- the push buttons are ridiculously small and hard to manipulate
- the cadence/speed transmitter uses up batteries very fast (3 sets now in only 3000 miles) and there is NO warning when it is about to fail: you find out the hard way
On the plus side I found it easy to install and set up and I like the reactivity and decimal point for the speed read-out.
While waiting for the repair I have replaced it with an old Sigma Sport 800 from another bike. This is a wonderfully simple wired computer with a clear screen, large digits and big, easy buttons. The only reasons for keeping the Cateye are the cadence and the fact it takes the speed reading off the rear wheel: great for use with a home trainer.
Given these reasons and the cost I'm not about to change it. I don't know if the competition is better but if you are looking to buy a bike computer in this category I would advise taking a good look around.
