› Polar Launches CS500 Tour de France

Polar will celebrate the 98th Tour de France by launching a limited edition of the CS500 cycling computer. In addition to the new fresh color design, the CS500 Tour de France comes with an extended memory capacity that allows you to store more data from every ride. With a unique rocker switch operation, oversized display and reliable bike mount, you can now ride like a Tour de France pro, striving for the coveted yellow jersey.

This year the Polar CS500 Tour de France is the official training computer of the most recognized cycling event in the world. Its memory capacity has been doubled compared to the previous release of the CS500. If the product is used with a compatible power measurement accessory, the memory recording rate is automatically set to 1 second to ensure the most accurate cycling data possible. You can measure power output and cadence with your CS500 by adding a Polar Power Output Sensor W.I.N.D. or Polar LOOK Kéo Power pedals.

CS500 Tour de France offers impeccable functionality, ease-of-use, good visibility of your training data and the best possible support for your top level training. Even at high speeds, the CS500 is effortless to control via the two-way rocker switch that makes it easier and safer to navigate through training data. You can operate your cycling computer by gently touching the left or right side of the handlebar unit. The oversized display allows more data on the screen and includes a flat lens that minimizes disturbing reflections in direct sunlight. After the ride, you can log in to your online training diary at polarpersonaltrainer.com to get even more cycling-specific information.

Weighing only 50 grams, CS500 Tour de France comes with CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. and Dual Lock Bike Mount or in a more extensive set with CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. as well. The official Tour de France training computer will be available in a brisk yellow color design in a limited quantity from May 2011. Polar DataLink data transfer unit, CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. and Power Output Sensor as well as Polar LOOK Kéo Power pedals can be purchased separately as accessories.
