This bike computer blows all other handlebar gadgets out of the water

Velone V1

With the Velone V1, a German startup aims to eliminate the need for several cockpit accessories. A GPS, cadence sensor, headlight, bell, power bank, anti-theft alarm, and a few other features are all supposed to be packed into a single device. It’s an unusual approach for a clutter-free handlebar setup—the Swiss Army knife of bike computers, so to speak.

If you want to keep your handlebars as uncluttered as possible, the Velone V1 might catch your attention. The new bike computer combines several functions that are otherwise mounted as separate components on the handlebars or frame. In addition to the classic display of ride data and navigation, the device integrates, among other things, a front light, an electronic bell, a power bank, and an anti-theft alarm.

Furthermore, Velone promises easy operation via a touchscreen and smartphone connectivity. The system is designed to be suitable for road bikes as well as gravel bikes and mountain bikes and is aimed at riders who want to bundle as many functions as possible into a single device.

With this all-in-one concept, Velone is taking a different approach than established manufacturers, who typically focus their bike computers on navigation and training functions. The Velone V1 is now available for pre-order directly from the manufacturer. According to Velone, delivery of the first units is scheduled for fall 2026.

Sind GPS-Geräte wie der Polar V650 die modernen Sklaventreiber?

Is the GPS device the modern slave driver?

GPS devices are both a blessing and a curse. On mountain bike tours, you can no longer do without these little navigation aids and data collectors, and some trails would not have been found without them. But mounted on the handlebars, they can also become a little slave driver - and woe betide you if the battery runs out. For many, a tour without a complete GPS recording has lost much of its appeal.
