Polar RCX5 Bike- Black

The first completely new cycling watch and heart rate monitor release coming from Polar in well over a year is here and it is named the Polar RCX5 Bike. It looks hot and includes a series of features that we feel is likely to make this watch a true cycling champion that should quickly become a favorite in 2011.

Any RCX5 Bike comes with Polar's Datalink wireless transfer device with all readily available packages, that is fantastic given that it means you will not have to surrender any additional dough to transfer your data to Polar personal trainer application.

Polar made sure that regardless of whether you had a Mac or a PC that your RCX5 Bike could allow for your data and training software requirements.

WIND Speed and Cadence Technology

The RCX5 Bike comes with the Polar WIND speed sensor. We further recommend purchasing the optional Polar WIND cadence sensor to turn this cycling watch into a full on bike computer.

The WIND technology helps completely eliminate any possibility of electrical power interference as a result of high voltage lines and transformers meaning that your data comes through crystal clear. The new Wearlink Hybrid chest strap incorporates both WIND technology and the ability to switch to 5kHz transmission for swimming allowing it to perform all heart rate monitor functions.

Hybrid Wearlink Straps

Polar's newly designed Wearlink Hybrid strap will allow you to transmit at two distinct frequencies. This is crucial because it's the very first Polar watch ever sold which allows you to ultimately reap the benefits of two distinctly distinct technologies. While going swimming you can utilize 5 kHz to pick up heart rate while swimming, however the watch unit will have to be positioned in a swim cap because this watch isn't watertight. Nevertheless, Polar has got the only monitor systems that gathers heart rate information from the swimming since Suunto discontinued its Memory belt.

The Polar RCX5 Bike can take complete advantage of Polar's W.I.N.D., which will eradicates electric power transmission line as well as electrical transformer interference that will interfere with data on most heart rate monitors, especially when jogging or cycling.

Greater Multi-Sport Possibilities With 5 Heart Rate Zone Settings

We generally explain to consumers, having 5 pre-programmed pulse rate specific zones is huge. You could have various zone areas for jogging, cycling, swimming, or even a number of other activities. It is also awesome to have independent specific zones for interval days, weight lifting days and straightforward cardiovascular workouts. Having the ability to swiftly shift in between zones at transitions, particularly in triathlon, ultra racing or other multi-sport events is vital.

Endurance Application, Zone Optimizer and also Workout Load

The Polar RCX5 Bike uses a proactive coaching program that helps make plans, helps to complete all of them and will help you adjust the program automatically. This specific mixture of functions can make planned cardiovascular training a piece of cake for anyone. Sports areas and specific zones are customized for every workout ensuring you will consistently workout with the appropriate intensity.
