Washington Enduro Computer

[otter101]

Which enduro computer is everyone running these day. ICO, Pacemaker, Watch dog. Im looking to get one, but for the money I want to get the easiest one to run and read, right now I'm thinking ICO checkmate XL but I want to here what everyone has to say.

I've been using the Trail Tech Endurance, but not for enduros... Just DS events and general dinkin' around.

I really like it. It's a good size, it's durable, Trail Tech has great support, It's easily removable/ transferable between bikes.

trailtech is great for trail riding...not so much for enduros, mileage resets are not terribly easy and there are no real "enduro functions" this year i have switched to the ICO checkmate...first tike out with it this weekend

[otter101]

Did you get the expensive one? I'm thinking the checkmate xl the less expensive one $349 I think. You riding the short course or long and who's on your min?👍😏🤣

I got the XL, after talking to ICO the only advantage to the more expensive model is the ability to share routes via internet. Since i usually ride solo that feature didn't appeal to me. I'll bet in VET C (short course). I don't know whose on my minute...i guess they drew for minutes today and we won't know till route sheets and minute assignments come in the mail/

it should be noted that I am: A) a sucker for anything shiny, or electronic...or both🤣 horribly financially irresponsible and C) kinda lazy...

I'm over in N ID and am interested in trying a beginner friendly enduro relatively close. Also interested in a cheap beginner computer. Suggestions?

[LOCKGUY]

what's relatively close? The shelton valley enduro is as good as they come for beginners...but it's 5-6 hours away from you...

[sigmatero]

Yaa, I was looking for something closer but that one might be worth it. I think there's one in St. Maries, ID in June but I'm not sure how advanced it is. I'm pretty new to riding and have never raced. Looks fun though.

I bought the ICO checkmate xl and LOVE it.

[LOCKGUY]

two thumbs up for the checkmate XL...very simple and straightforward during an event...once you have the route info in just twist the throttle and watch your minutes..
