What is the Magene C706?

The Magene C706 is the maker's professional flagship that holds its own in any situation. It does everything the C606 Pro does, and adds a bigger screen, a more accurate satellite receiver, voice prompts and a few details we've mostly seen on far pricier computers until now.

Key features

Dual-band, five-system satellite navigation

The C706 supports five global systems: BeiDou, GPS (L1+L5), GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS. Dual-band reception gives faster, more accurate positioning, which you'll notice most in dense urban areas, narrow valleys and forests.

Big screen, plus buttons

Alongside the 3.3-inch touchscreen there are five physical buttons, so you don't have to rely on touch when wearing gloves or in the rain. The high-strength metal mount holds the unit steady even on rough roads.

Voice prompts and light ring

The built-in speaker announces navigation instructions, lap times, segments and climbs, as well as low battery. Voice prompts are available in 13 languages, though not yet in Hungarian. The 12-colour Star Ring light ring gives you visual alerts too, and the built-in electronic bell can even be triggered from a shifter button.

Full ClimbPro

Besides route-based ClimbPro, it also works during free riding: the unit detects nearby climbs, you can filter them by category (HC, Cat 1–4), and navigate to their start with a single tap. According to the maker, free-ride ClimbPro is only available in certain countries for now.

Smart ecosystem

The C706 directly controls the Magene L508 radar and L308 brake-light rear lights, you can assign functions to Shimano Di2 D-Fly buttons, and you can control a DJI or Insta360 action camera from it. With supported cameras, your ride data is automatically added to exported videos. You can also set up phone notifications and drinking and eating reminders.

What do the reviews say?

Cycling Weekly summed up its verdict in the headline: flagship hardware, fledgling software. ProCyclingUK's review paints a similar picture: they praised the hardware, the metal mount, navigation of imported routes, ClimbPro and the wide sensor support. As weaknesses they mentioned the variable reliability of route planning and rerouting, and that the OnelapFit app isn't yet as detailed as Garmin Connect. According to ProCyclingUK, the maker quotes 17–25 hours of battery life.

Good to know: Magene keeps expanding its computers' software features through firmware updates.

C706 or C606 Pro?

C706 (74 900 Ft): bigger screen, dual-band GNSS, voice prompts, physical buttons, metal mount, free-ride ClimbPro.
C606 Pro (64 900 Ft): 2.8-inch transflective screen, up to 25 hours of battery life, more compact, the choice of the XDS-Astana team.

If you navigate a lot of unfamiliar routes, accurate positioning matters to you, and you like your computer to talk to you, the C706 is worth the difference. If you're after a compact computer with long battery life for racing and training, the C606 Pro is perfect too. You'll find all models among our GPS bike computers.

Who is it for?

Experienced road and gravel riders who want the most features in a single device.

Frequently asked questions

What does dual-band, five-system GNSS mean?

The C706 uses five satellite systems (BeiDou, GPS L1+L5, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS) and receives GPS on two frequencies. That gives you faster, more accurate positioning, especially in cities, valleys and forests.

Which languages are the voice prompts available in?

The voice prompts are available in 13 languages (including English, German, Czech and Polish); Hungarian isn't one of them at the moment.

Does it work with the Magene L508 radar light?

Yes, the C706 can control the L508 and L308 lights directly and shows vehicles detected by the radar on its screen.

When should I go for the C606 Pro instead?

If you want a smaller, lighter computer and don't need dual-band satellite reception, voice prompts or a bigger screen, the C606 Pro gives you navigation and training features at a lower price.
