Eurobike 2012: Polar works its magic on the wrist

58 grams light, 1.37 centimetres flat and twelve hours of running performance - that's the new one from Polar. With the "RC3 GPS", the specialist for heart rate-oriented training technology presents all sports and fitness enthusiasts with one of the lightest and slimmest training computers with integrated GPS.

Marco Suvilaasko, Group Product Director at Polar, is enthusiastic about the latest product: "This intelligent training companion is the product of 35 years of experience in the most accurate heart rate measurement and development of training computers. The RC3 GPS combines everything that makes demanding training perfectly supported and safe. It enables customized planning, execution and evaluation that could hardly be more individual."

The Training Load function, which provides information on the intensity of the units, indicates necessary recovery breaks and recommends the time when training should be resumed, helps to optimize physical training.

The training computer for the wrist is supported by a GPS receiver, which enables a Back To Start function, for example: a simple press of a button is enough to guide the athlete back to the starting position via the shortest route.

The Polar RC3 GPS Bike set is tailor-made for road or mountain bike riders. At a price of CHF 419.90, it includes a wrist computer, a USB cable, a heart rate sensor and a cadence sensor.
