Best Cycling Black Friday Deal: Bargain Bike Computers
Stages snuck their Black Friday deal out to the world today, and it’s all about their three recently-released bike computers: the Dash L10, L50, and M50. All three are officially 30% off, though we notice that the L10 is actually 50% off its list price…
These are all excellent computers in their own right, with the M50 and L10 making our list of the best bike computers available now. Stages released them in 2019 offering serious functionality for performance cyclists at prices that put their rivals to shame.
At these new discount prices, the Stages Dash series has won Black Friday 2020 for us.
Stages Dash M50 – $174.99
This has to be the cycling bargain of this year’s Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals period. The M50 is our pick of Stages’ three recently-released cycling computers – it’s all substance, with great training features, and comes in at great size and weight.
It’s the computer that won the Tour de France, and it already represented incredible value at its regular price. Now reduced to $175, it’s hard to see where you can go wrong. It’s super bright, does absolutely everything, and even has free maps for the entire world. You can also use it in horizontal or vertical mode.
On the downside, we think the UI and device design are both a little ugly. That’s not much of a downside though, especially not at this price.

Stages Dash L10 – $74.99
Like the M50, the L10 represented great value even before the discount. Its configurability, routing, training, and ride recording features made it our pick for the best cycling computer under $150. Now it’s half price, it’s almost stupid not to buy one.
This is an excellent GPS device for old-school magnetic sensor prices.

Stages Dash L50 – $209.99
The flagship Dash device is our least favorite, but that really just comes down to its size. At $210 though, it doesn’t even feel like a compromise. The major differences between the M50 are a bigger screen, more data fields, and a more powerful battery.
