VDO M6 WL Wireless Cycle Computer: The VDO M6 is a true all-rounder, offering all bike functions plus comprehensive altitude measurement in a single device. The three channel data transmission between the cycle computer & the sensors is entirely wireless & uses automatic pairing. 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 M6 can be optionally upgraded to include heart rate & cadence measurement. The modular structure makes it possible to customise the currently required functions & guarantees future oriented scalability. The core feature of the VDO M6 is the barometric altitude measurement with numerous functions. VDO has years of experience in this segment & has already received top marks for numerous predecessor models during independent tests. The VDO M6 uses state-of-the-art technology & provides a broad range of altitude data: current & maximum altitude, current, maximum & average gradient uphill, altitude gain & loss, distance uphill & downhill, maximum & average gradient downhill, as well as annual altitude (total/gain/loss), annual distance (uphill/downhill) & maximum annual altitude for each of bike 1 & 2. The altitude profile can also be displayed in graph format on the large, easy-to-read display. The altitude is calibrated either by entering the current altitude or by means of the barometric air pressure. The optional additional equipment for heart rate & cadence measurement expands the functions shown on the display. The heart rate meter indicates 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. Even while still cycling, the heart rate progression can be displayed in graph format & analysed. The calorie burn is calculated on the basis of the individual heart rate values & converted into a cumulative value as an annual total for bike 1 & 2. The cadence kit further expands the VDO M6s functions to display the current, average & maximum cadence. The top model VDO M6 offers all the technical innovations incorporated into the new VDO M-series. Numerous features such as a low battery warning for the computer & all its transmitters, data retention on changing the battery, a display backlight, an automatic start/stop function with a motion sensor, sleep mode, full text display in six languages, function-based button usage & simple menu navigation are therefore all integrated as standard. One particular highlight of the VDO M6 is the integrated data memory for 10 trips. This makes it possible to compare the values for several rides & draw conclusions about the training sessions completed.
