Collection: The stomachs

In a world where advanced cycling electronics are often associated with high prices, Magene has carved out a niche with products that combine solid functionality, simple operation and an accessible price. Their cycling computers and sensors are designed for riders who want access to the most important data – without investing in high-end premium solutions. At Transition Zone, we have chosen to include the Magene C506 in our range because it hits the spot for new riders, triathletes and price-conscious cyclists who want structure and insight into their training without breaking the bank.

Magene has managed to take the most important features from more expensive models and pack them into a user-friendly and clear interface. GPS navigation, ANT+/Bluetooth compatibility, connection to heart rate belts, cadence meters and watt pedals – everything is possible with the C506. This means that you can track, analyze and improve your training without missing essential data. At the same time, setup and synchronization with e.g. Strava and TrainingPeaks is quick and uncomplicated, making the Magene bike computer an ideal entry point for riders who want to have data with them from the start.

The Magene C506 is a GPS-based cycling computer with a 2.5-inch color screen that delivers high visibility in all conditions. The clear display shows your most important training data in real time – speed, distance, time, heart rate, watts, cadence and more. The computer supports up to six data fields per page and up to ten different data pages, so you can customize it exactly to your preferences. Whether you're into short intervals, long base rides or tri training, the Magene gives you the overview you need.

One of the biggest advantages of the Magene C506 is its battery life – with up to 35 hours of use on a single charge, it is capable of handling even long race days or bikepacking weekends. You get both GPS, Galileo and Beidou positioning, which ensures precise tracking, even in forests and mountainous terrain. The computer is compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth, so you can easily connect heart rate belts, power meters, home trainers and sensors. All in all, you get a bike computer that supports almost all modern training setups – at a fraction of the price of many high-end models.

While Magene may not yet have the same brand status as Garmin or Wahoo, their products are definitely worth considering – especially for triathletes and road cyclists looking for value for money. Many triathletes enjoy the Magene as a secondary display for watts or pacing, while others choose it as their primary cycling computer thanks to its simple interface and long battery life. Its low weight and compact form factor make it ideal for aerodynamic set-ups, and integration with both watt pedals like the Favero Assioma and home trainers like the Wahoo Kickr works seamlessly.

One of the often overlooked benefits of the Magene C506 is its robust app integration. With the Magene Utility app, you can update firmware, set up your data fields, and quickly upload workouts to Strava – without any technical barriers. This is especially beneficial for riders who don’t want to spend too much time on setup and just want to get out there and ride. At the same time, Magene works seamlessly with many third-party products, so you don’t have to change equipment or sensors to get a complete solution.

At Transition Zone, we focus on equipment that both performs and makes sense – which is why we have chosen to carry Magene bike computers. For many of our customers, the most important thing is not necessarily having the most expensive model, but rather finding a solution that fits their needs. The Magene C506 is a well-tested and reliable device that delivers all the most important features for riders who want to follow their development and train with structure.

Whether you’re new to the sport, looking for a backup system, or just want a great bike computer without paying for premium branding, Magene is a great choice. You’ll get a device that works with your existing equipment, provides accurate measurements, and lasts a long time. Stop by the Transition Zone to take a closer look at the Magene C506 – we’ll help you set it up and get you started with your data.
