Polar CS200 CAD Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor

Just like the CS200, the CS200cad has all the same features to help you achieve your cycling goals. However, what makes it special is a cadence sensor. This essential sensor helps you to get more out of your training experience and more from your performance.

• Cycling cadence helps to improve your cycling technique
• Measures your current, average and maximum speed
• Foresee and remedy your calorie expenditure with cycling economy
• Use polarpersonaltrainer.com as your training log to analyze your long term progression and improvement

• Polar CS200 cycling computer
• Polar WearLink transmitter
• Polar CS speed sensor
• Polar CS cadence sensor
• Polar Twist Lock Bike Mount
• Manual

• Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %

  To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.

• Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
• Average and maximum heart rate of training
• Heart rate – bpm / % Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.
• HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
• HRmax (user set)
• Manual target zone – bpm / % This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
• Polar OwnCal – calorie expenditurePolar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
• Polar OwnCode (5kHz) – coded transmissionCoded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.
• Polar OwnZone – personal heart rate zone Polar OwnZone determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.
• Training load – available via polarpersonaltrainer.com This feature is available in Polar software. When you transfer training results from your training computer to polarpersonaltrainer.com, you can follow your training load and recovery in the training diary. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over- or undertraining, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets

• Bike settings – for two bicycles You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
• Cadence – current, average and 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.

• Bike settings – for two bicycles You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
• Distance – training, lap, and total 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.
• Speed – current, average and maximum Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor.
• SpeedPointer SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.
