The Magene story
Magene was founded in 2015 with the goal of making pro-level training tech available to more than just the pros. The company develops and manufactures everything itself, and thanks to large production runs it offers the same features as the premium brands: map navigation, power-based training, radar and smart lighting. The difference is the price.
Today the brand is the official partner of the XDS-Astana WorldTour team. The riders use Magene GPS computers, heart rate monitors and radar tail lights, and train on Magene smart trainers. Feedback from the pros goes straight into development, so the devices you use keep getting more accurate and reliable too.
The Magene range
GPS bike computers
The computers come with map navigation, long battery life and an easy-to-read display, connect to your sensors via ANT+ and Bluetooth, and your rides upload to Strava automatically.

|---|---|---|
| C506 SE | Entry level, for the basics | 29 900 Ft |
| C606 V2 | Large touchscreen, navigation | 54 900 Ft |
| C606 Pro | Transflective display, up to 25 hours, the pro team's choice | 64 900 Ft |
| C706 | Flagship, 3.3" display, dual-band GNSS | 74 900 Ft |
Power meters
Watts are the one number that doesn't depend on wind, heat or fatigue. Magene power meters measure with ±1% accuracy for a fraction of the price of a premium power meter. The PES P515 is spider-based and the most affordable way in (104 900 Ft). The P715S and P715K are built into the pedals, measure both sides, and you can easily move them from one bike to another. The TEO P515 comes as a complete set together with the crankset.
Lights
According to the maker, the L508 radar tail light detects cars approaching from behind from up to 140 metres away and shows them on your computer too. The AT1200 smart front light puts out up to 1200 lumens, and the L308 tail light with brake light automatically shines brighter when you brake.
Heart rate monitors and sensors
The H603 and H613 are chest straps, the H803 is an armband heart rate monitor. They connect to your computer, your watch and Zwift at the same time. With its two modes, the S314 speed and cadence sensor is the simplest way to make every ride measurable.
What does the cycling press say?
The title of Cycling Weekly's C706 review sums up their verdict nicely: flagship hardware, fledgling software. According to ProCyclingUK, the C706 offers flagship features at a mid-range price. BikeRadar tested the L508 radar light, and road.cc wrote that the dual-sided P715 power meter pedals arrived in the price bracket of competitors' single-sided models. In Hungarian, Bikemag.hu tested the C606 Pro.
Compatibility: no need to replace what you have
Every Magene device works with standard ANT+ and Bluetooth connections. A Magene power meter works with your Garmin computer, a Magene heart rate monitor with Zwift, and a Magene computer with any of your sensors. You can start with a single device and add more whenever you like.
Who is Magene for?
- Anyone just getting into data-driven training who doesn't want to spend a fortune on it.
- More experienced riders who want a power meter, radar or a mapping computer at a sensible price.
- Anyone already using a Garmin or Wahoo device who wants to expand their setup.
How to get started
If you don't have a computer yet, a GPS computer and a heart rate monitor are the ideal first step. If you already have one, the next level is a power meter: that's what lets you train in a truly targeted way. And for your safety, a radar tail light is the best investment, especially on busy roads. You'll find all devices under GPS computers, power meters, lights and heart rate monitors.
