The new COROS DURA 2 SOLAR offers cyclists a full-featured, high-performance cycling computer with a long battery life and solar
charging. In addition to the vastly upgraded hardware, DURA 2 SOLAR brings offline re-routing, routeless climb detection, live tracking, and new cycling focused fitness metrics in the companion app.
This product release builds on the success of COROS’ DURA Cycling Computer and has a completely new look and feel with carbon and anodized aluminium materials and finishes. DURA 2 SOLAR will help cyclists across disciplines stay on course, track their training, and connect
with their electronic components. The new computer is available either on its own or with either a mount for a traditional round or stem-integrated handlebar.
Notable features and specs:
Advanced carbon and alloy construction
99 grams
3.5” SHARP Memory-in-Pixel Touchscreen
Advanced suite of navigation, performance, and customization features
120-hour battery with 2:1 solar regen (gain two hours of battery for every hour of sun exposure)
Three ways to interact: buttons, voice commands, and touchscreen
COROS CEO Lewis Wu, said: “For too long, bike computers have looked like functional tools attached to otherwise beautiful bikes. With DURA 2 SOLAR, we wanted to change that. We set out to create a bike computer that looks like it belongs on a great bike, not something you have to overlook because of what it does. But great design can’t come at the expense of performance. DURA 2 SOLAR has the features, navigation, accuracy, battery life, and solar charging to match its design. We wanted to build a bike computer that cyclists are proud to put on their bikes.”
The DURA 2 SOLAR integrates with the entire COROS ecosystem; rides recorded on the device automatically upload to the COROS app, where cyclists can see fitness insights and analyse their rides and other workouts. The app also ingests data from other COROS wearables
(watches and the arm-worn heart rate monitor). Using both the DURA 2 SOLAR and a wearable gives athletes a holistic view of their fitness and recovery. The COROS app also allows cyclists to build routes. DURA 2 SOLAR is also compatible with most third-party cycling and training apps.
