Coospo CS600 GPS Bike Computer
Colour touchscreen, full GNSS and a confirmed 36 hour battery, for about a third of a big-brand price.
Our take
The CS600 shows how good budget bike computers have become. For around A$185 delivered you get a colour touchscreen that stays readable in full sun, every satellite system that matters, and sensor support that reaches heart rate straps, power meters, radar tail lights and smart trainers. A few years ago that list cost three times as much.
It fits in about two minutes on the Garmin-pattern quarter-turn mount, wakes in under a second, and pairs sensors instantly. Commuters can keep the data pages simple while trainers build proper multi-field layouts.
The honest catch is navigation. The maps work, but routes load manually rather than syncing from Strava or Komoot, there is no rerouting, and the turn cues occasionally point where they should not. Buy it as a brilliant tracker with basic maps and you will be delighted. Buy it as a Garmin-grade navigator and you will notice the gap.
What we rate
- 36 hour battery life that independent testers confirmed
- Bright, sunlight-readable colour touchscreen at a budget price
- Fast, accurate GNSS lock across five satellite systems
- Pairs with power meters, radar, smart trainers and Di2
- Garmin-pattern mount, so spares are cheap and everywhere
What we would change
- No rerouting and no automatic route sync, GPX import is manual
- Turn cues can mislead at complex junctions
- Recessed side buttons are awkward with full-finger gloves
- Strava sync via the app can lag
- No phone notifications and no TCX file support
What independent reviewers say
Punches above its price, with reliable GPS, rock-steady sensor pairing and a bright display, though navigation lacks top-tier refinement.
Bicycling Australia
A good budget choice for the feature-conscious cyclist at any level. GNSS tracks as accurate as any 2025 bike computer.

Good screen and great for general duties, but can be clunky and a little lacking in features. Recommended for beginners.

Impressive for the money, and the 36 hour battery claim proved startlingly accurate, but navigation is more basic than some.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Coospo CS600 available in Australia?
Yes. Coospo ships to Australia directly with free shipping over US$29.90, typically 7 to 10 business days. It is also on amazon.com.au. Direct is about A$185; local channels list it around A$215.
Does the CS600 work with Strava?
Yes, rides sync to Strava and TrainingPeaks through the CoospoRide app. The sync is app-driven and some reviewers found it can lag.
Is the 36 hour battery claim real?
Yes. Two independent reviewers tested it and both confirmed it, one calling it startlingly accurate.
Can the CS600 navigate turn-by-turn?
It has maps and turn cues for GPX routes loaded via the app, but it does not reroute and the arrows can mislead at complex junctions. Treat navigation as a bonus.
What mount does it use?
A Garmin-pattern quarter-turn mount, so out-front and spare mounts are cheap and everywhere.
