What the published tests say
- COROS Dura 2 Solar, DC Rainmaker (22/10/2026): the tester writes that "COROS isn't delivering a premium device": software and stability are not yet at the level of the price. There is no handlebar mount in the box. On battery, COROS gets it with a screen that is harder to see: "not debatable", he says, you can see it on the road.
- Magene C506, road.cc: the touchscreen is "rather good" for the price and renders route maps well, but it is slow to react ("hesitant"): sometimes it takes several taps. The ambient light sensor adjusts brightness well.
- iGPSPORT BSC300, Cyclists Hub: small and capable, button-based, intuitive menus, inspired by the Edge 5xx series. Overall score 4.1/5 from the reviewer. It lacks an ambient light sensor and the screen could be brighter.
How to read the data
- These are very different products by price tier: the Dura 2 targets premium computers, the other two target price.
- Scores and quotes belong to the reviewers named, not to us. Data we did not verify is marked as such.
- Brand base: COROS is listed in Dongguan (Canadian trademark register). iGPSPORT has a company in Wuhan (FCC filing) and says it was founded in 2012. Magene's company profile presents it as a market leader for trainers and sensors in China.
