Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cateye Stealth 10/50

Stealth 10 ($120) = Garmin 200

Stealth 50 ($150) = Garmin 500

I was just about to buy an Edge 500 but now I might have to wait until February/March, though I generally dont like products.

Stealth 50 does not seem to be equal (or close to) Garmin 500.
Garmin 500 is more advanced - has mini map, you can download routes and turn by turn directions, shows elevation, and lot more neat functions.

It's also $100 cheaper than the Garmin. If all you're looking for is data collection, the Stealth 50 looks like it would do the job. I've seen people posting about issues with the Garmin 500, though I'm sure they're mostly fine... I'm more of a "click it and forget it" type of rider, I don't focus on the computer.

Think of it as as Edge 200 with Ant+ for the same price.

Not to mention this will work with trainingpeaks so the only thing it will lack is GPS while riding. I am looking forward to this and I don't see why this couldn't compete with garmin!

I have a Stealth 50 and am impressed with it. Clearly there are features that the Garmin has, that the Stealth does not, but you would expect that.



the unit performs well, the display is very good. I do not understand people talking about the "clunkieness" of holding down the mode button to save a trip, this is exactly the same as resetting the Garmin in order to save a ride track, just a different button.



my only complaint with theStealth actually is the proprietary cable/sled for downloading and charging. Of course this means you can't use any of your other cables, but the sled is what makes the whole unit water proof.



pluses and minuses.
