In developing the VDO M-series, particular attention was paid to creating a user-friendly operating structure & button-based function grouping. The result is a range of cycle computers that are convenient & intuitive to use & offer the renowned VDO quality. The VDO M5s clear display shows the speed, average speed, maximum speed, ride time, trip distance, total distance, time & temperature. The VDO M5 can also be used on two bikes & offers ideal opportunities for cycling pre-mapped routes thanks to its trip section distance & time counters & its roadbook function (distance counter that counts forwards & backwards). The VDO M5 uses digital wireless transmission & automatic pairing which enables interference-free transmission & simple handling during everyday use. The VDO M5’s functions can be optionally expanded to include a wired heart rate & cadence measurement. Thanks to the modular structure, the desired equipment can be selected in line with the specific usage. The VDO M5’s comprehensive heart rate function shows the current, average & maximum heart rate while also providing percentage & graph-based outputs of the personal heart rate zones, including the training time per zone. The calorie burn is calculated on the basis of the heart rate values during exercise & converted into a cumulative value as an annual total for bike 1 & 2. The optional cadence upgrade expands the VDO M5’s functions to display the current, average & maximum cadence. The VDO M5’s digital three-channel wireless unit makes it possible to simultaneously use & display the heart rate & cadence data. The technical innovations incorporated into the new M-series are also reflected in the VDO M5. The intuitive, function-based operating structure & full-text display make the VDO M5 extremely easy to use. Numerous technical details such as an integrated display backlight, low battery warning for the cycle computer & all its sensors, data retention on changing the battery, an integrated tyre table for setting the wheel size, an automatic start/stop function when setting off after a break & a display sleep mode for longer breaks are all also designed for maximum user friendliness.
