Bryton’s new Rider 17 is one of their latest entry level GPS cycling computers that offers accurate GPS tracking at an affordable price point. The Rider 17 is a replacement for the previous Rider 15 neo with the most obvious upgrades being the larger display and additional sensor connectivity. Retail price on the Rider 17 is an affordable $69.95 which is impressive given the 3” screen and support for standard sensors including bike radars. The Rider 17 also features a 25 hr runtime with modern USB-C charging. An integrated GNSS chip ensures the Rider 17 works worldwide on various GPS networks.
As with all Bryton computers, the Rider 17 uses the brand’s proprietary Bryton mount that is molded into the base of the computer. It is a very similar design to Garmin quarter turn mounts with protruding tabs that lock into a matching base. Bryton’s design uses slightly thicker mounts which means you can force them into a Garmin mount but it will damage the Bryton mount and the Garmin mount over time. The Rider 17 comes with a basic handlebar mount with two o-rings and a plastic base that can be mounted on a stem or handlebars. Unlike the more expensive Bryton S series computers, the mount can not be replaced with a Garmin mount. We’d highly recommend buying the Bryton Sport Mount or purchasing a KOM Cycling out-front mount with a Bryton adapter for a cleaner installation.
Visually, the Rider 17 mimics the smooth corner design of the Bryton’s premium S series of GPS computers. Despite the $70 price, the Rider 17 boasts a large 3.0” LCD display with a thin profile that is only 12.8 mm thick. The combination of the smooth curves and small bezels give the computer a premium appearance that you don’t typically see at this price point. Branding is limited to Bryton on the front and bottom of the screen in white lettering which is the only contrast to the otherwise black plastic construction. There is a USB-C port on the bottom of the computer with a nice rubber cover as well as a cutout for the included lanyard. This is a non-touch screen computer which is why there are three physical buttons, a power button on the left and two buttons on the right side...
