Cateye Padrone Smart Computer

Growing up, the only thing “smart”, was a cheesy 70’s TV show called “Get Smart”.  Now, everything is getting smart in terms of interconnectivity and retrievable data.

Cateye joins the list with its updated Pardone bike computer, that can sync with any smartphone, to become, you guessed it, a smart bike computer. 

The Padrone looks and acts like a simple handlebar mount bike computer, but sync it with your smartphone via Bluetooth, and you have a host of functionality ranging from GPS, to heart rate monitoring, to standard ride data and more.

The Padrone can also be used in conjunction with popular training apps like Strava, Training Peaks or the company’s Atlas software.

Cateye launched this technology last year with its Strada Smart computer. The Padrone takes things a bit further with a much larger screen for better visibility, while also keeping things relatively compact and light. 

Overview

Smart technology meets our most popular display, the Padrone. Download the free CatEye Cycling app, stash your smartphone away safely in your jersey pocket or saddlebag and hit the road. Use Mirror Mode to get GPS-powered ride data, SMS (Text), call and email alerts from your phone displayed on the Padrone Smart’s screen while your phone is kept safe from the elements in sleep mode, preserving the battery.
When carrying a phone isn’t ideal, use Sensor Direct Mode to get speed, cadence, heart rate and power data directly from Bluetooth® Smart wireless sensors.

After use in either mode, seamlessly upload ride data to CatEyeAtlas™, Strava™ and TrainingPeaks™.
