Polar CS100 Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor

Polar CS100 Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor

For recreational cyclists who want to improve their cycling performance. It measures heart rate combined with current, average and maximum speed and determines daily personal heart rate target zones for optimal training. It also displays calories burned.

Main Unit

Polar T31 Coded Transmitter
At the heart of your training is the coded T31. Its purpose is simple: to transmit your heart rate to your wrist unit. Slim and light, the ECG (electrocardiogram) accurate transmitter is fully water resistant and designed for all weather conditions, and built to last with up to 2500 hours of training usage. This transmitter prevents cross-talk from other electrical devices for accurate measurement of your training.

This transmitter does not feature a user replaceable battery. It is suggested to replace the batteries by Polar to ensure water tight results.

CS Series Speed Sensor
There are a range of factors that can affect your cycling speed. Obviously fitness is one of them, however, weather conditions and the varying gradients of the road play a huge part too. The most advanced way of measuring how these factors affect your performance speed is with the aerodynamic Wireless Polar CS speed sensor.

Measures your current, average and maximum speeds, tracks your average speed to see your progress and performance improve and is light yet tough, and easy to attach.

Twist Lock Bike Mount
Wherever you ride your Polar cycling computer follows. With the Polar Bike Mount, it’s always there, giving you an optimal view of your cycling data. Easy to install either to the stem or handlebar and will easily attach and detach your cycling computer with the twist locking mechanism.

Cadence - current, average, maximum
Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.

Distance
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.

Distance based intervals
The Interval Trainer will automatically guide you through the interval training session with the help of preset training phases: warm-up, intervals and cool-down. The interval phase is divided into interval and recovery calculation sections, which alternate continuously throughout your interval phase. The distance based interval ends your interval as you reach the selected distance.

This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training. You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence, speed or power output. The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range.

Incline measurement
Incline measurement tells you the uphill or downhill inclination in numerical form, helping you to adjust cycling effort accordingly. The feature shows you the uphill/downhill steepness in percentages and grades.

Pedaling index
Pedaling index is the ratio between the minimum and maximum forces of a single pedaling cycle. A pedaling cycle begins when a magnet on the crank passes a relay on the circuit board and ends when the magnet passes the relay again. The resulting ratio is averaged from the most recent pedaling cycles. Pedaling index helps optimize pedaling technique by measuring the ‘roundness’ of force distribution, or how evenly the power is produced – the higher the pedaling index percentage, the better.

Cycling Efficiency index
Cycling efficiency is your energy expenditure converted into the power that propels the bike forward. Cycling efficiency measurement starts as soon as heart rate rises above 100 bpm and the training session has lasted for more than one minute. If the heart rate drops below 100 bpm during the session, the measurement of cycling efficiency value is stopped until your heart rate rises above 100 bpm again. Improvement in cycling efficiency indicates improved performance economy.

n the cycling settings you can set RideDist (riding distance). You can set the distance you are going to ride and the cycling computer will estimate your arrival time to the destination according to your riding speed. Estimated time of arrival works during your exercise recording and it can be seen on the upper row of the display.

Speed/Pace - current, average, maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.

Average stride length
Stride length is the average length of one step, that is, the distance between your right and left foot contacting the ground. Runners adjust stride length to gather speed: stride length increases as speed increases. Yet one of the most common mistakes novice runners make is over-striding. The most efficient stride length is the natural one – the one that feels most comfortable.

R-R Intervals/Online HR Variability
R-R Intervals / Online HR Variability feature measures your heartbeat intervals and reflects autonomic nervous system activity in heart beat regulation. The R-R interval measurement is most useful at rest and at low intensities. Relaxation rate indicates the state of your physical recovery.

X X X
Adjustable recording rate
The samples of your heart rate, speed, cycling cadence, power and altitude are stored either in 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more detailed data. A shorter recording rate uses the memory of the training computer up more rapidly, but enables more accurate data analysis using Polar software.
