Bryton Rider S810: A Big-Screen GPS That Just Works
Posted by Trevor Barrett on
If you’re in the market for a modern cycling GPS with a large touchscreen, long battery life, and reliable navigation, the Bryton Rider S810 is well worth a look.
I brought the S810 into Trevs because it hits a sweet spot: serious features without unnecessary complexity. It’s designed for riders who want clear data, dependable navigation, and a decent sized screen for half blind riders like myself!
Big, Clear Screen — Easy to Read While Riding
- The first thing you notice with the Rider S810 is the 3.5” full-colour touchscreen. It’s easy to read at a glance, even in bright summer sun.
- Maps, data fields, and climb profiles are clear and uncluttered. You don’t need to stop, squint, or guess what you’re looking at.
- The touchscreen itself is responsive and accurate, even mid-ride. Sweaty fingers, quick taps, or scrolling between pages — it all works smoothly without frustration.
Battery Life That Matches Long Summer Rides
Battery anxiety is real, especially over the holiday riding season when rides get longer and more frequent.
The Rider S810 delivers up to 50 hours of battery life, which means multi-day rides without constant charging.
Navigation That’s Fast and Reliable
Navigation is one of the S810’s strongest features.
You get turn-by-turn GPS with offline maps, so you’re not reliant on phone signal. If you miss a turn, rerouting is quick and smooth — no long delays or frozen screens.
Climb Challenge 2.0: Know What’s Coming
Climbing is where the S810 really earns its keep.
With Climb Challenge 2.0, the computer automatically detects climbs and shows:
- How long the climb is
- How steep it gets
- Where you are on the climb
That information makes pacing easier and removes the guesswork — especially on roads you don’t know. It’s a big win for riders who like to manage effort rather than just survive the climb.
Clean Data Screens, Not Information Overload
The Rider S810 lets you fully customise your data screens, and the layout stays clean and readable.
You get the data you want, when you want it — without clutter. Whether you’re tracking power, heart rate, cadence, or just ride basics, everything is logically presented and easy to digest while riding.
This makes it suitable for riders who train seriously and those who just want useful ride stats without feeling overwhelmed.
The Rider S810 feels solid and well put together. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, and it’s clearly designed to handle real riding conditions — long days, summer heat, rough chipseal, and frequent use.
