Stages Dash M200 & L200: What's New & First Ride

Here's your first complete look ride and user-interface tour at the new Stages Dash M200 and L200 bike computers, and how they differ from the previous Stage Dash M50 and L50 cycling units.

These new units bring a slate of hardware upgrades that make them far more compelling that previous units, including new buttons, new quarter-turn mount, and new Wifi Connectivity for downloading maps (free), anywhere in the world. I'll take you through all those new features - including the new user interface, and out onto a first ride.

Now interestingly, this new head unit is a collaboration with Giant (who makes bikes and stuff). Stages utilizes Giant manufacturing in other areas of their business, such as their indoor bikes. There will be variants of the Stages M200/L200 units that are sold under Giant branding, but otherwise identical internally. We’ve seen those already teased on Giant’s WorldTour sponsored team, Team Bike Exchange-Jayco.

It should be noted that for today’s post, I’m going with a hands-on format rather than a full in-depth review. This is largely because I simply haven’t had enough rides on it to feel confident for the depth of a normal review.  I’ll do a full in-depth review down the road in the next month or so, once I get more road-time, and perhaps some of the upcoming software features noted below.
