SPONSORED: Here's what makes the Sigma ROX 12.0 one of the top bike computers on the market
For the latest iteration of its ROX computer, Sigma has truly raised its game, with innovative map functionality, an intuitive color touch-screen interface, robust hardware, and full connectivity making it one of the most complete offerings on the market.
The ROX 12.0 is the choice of some of the top professional road cyclists in the world. Former world time trial champion Tom Dumoulin is currently using it at the Giro d’Italia, along with the rest of his Team Sunweb teammates. Yet the Rox 12.0 is more than a computer for the tarmac; it comfortably handled Paris-Roubaix, the Tour of Flanders and Strade Bianche this year, and the robust design – with a tough case, Gorilla glass, and dust and water protection – means it can be used on any terrain, in any weather, on any kind of bike, even E-bikes.

The responsive touch-screen display is based on smart-phone technology and runs on an Android operating system, allowing you to swipe left and right between the menu options, down for the shortcut bar, and up for your favorites. The large, clear icons mean you won’t hit the wrong one, while the unit also features six buttons, including ‘home’, start and stop, and toggles to zoom in and out of the map and move through training sessions. The clear, defined color display can be seen in all conditions, with a transflective screen making it visible in the glaring sunshine and a backlight for when it’s dim.
The ROX 12.0 stands out for its navigation capabilities, notably the innovative ‘draw my route’ function, which is the first of its kind for a bike computer. Designed for adventurous riders who want to explore, simply draw lines or a circle on the touch-screen and your squiggle will be turned into a route. Similarly, you can enter an address, coordinates, or a point of interest, and the computer will do the rest, showing you the shortest, easiest, and recommended routes, tailored to the terrain you wish to ride. Alternatively, with the WiFi and USB connectivity, you can quickly upload pre-planned routes, using the Sigma cloud or synchronizing directly from Strava, GPSies and Komoot.
