Sigma BC 23.16 STS Bike Computer

SIGMA BC 23.16 STS BIKE COMPUTER

The BC 23.16 STS is the computer designed for athletes. It is loaded with all of the necessary training functions including heart rate, cadence, altitude and gradient. Plus, all transmitters are included! One of the highlights of the BC 23.16 STS is its enormous logging capacity of up to 500 hours. Previously saved rides can be converted into an opponent for a “ghost race” with the SIGMA DATA CENTER. And NFC technology allows the BC 23.16 STS to communicate with Android smartphones and the SIGMA LINK app.

Highlights
Numerous features, easy operation
The BC 23.16 STS not only scores with its many features but also by its ease of use. Whether bike functions, altitude functions, heights functions or laps, there is a button for each area that quickly gives you an overview.
Including detailed data analysis with all transmitters
The BC 23.16 STS displays all the important bike, altitude and heart rate functions. An altitude profile is created just like a heart rate graph. In the altitude view you can read, inter alia, data on the current altitude, current ascent/descent, total height and the uphill/downhill altitude in metres of the current trip. Moreover the current as well as the average and maximum cadence are displayed. All necessary transmitters are included in the scope of delivery.
Enormous logging capacity
You can save up to 99 logs on your BC 23.16 STS. This results in a total log of up to 500 hours at a log interval of 20 seconds. 50 Laps The BC 23.16 STS can store up to 50 laps per trip.
For the super fast operation there is an extra lap button. There is detailed data available for each lap that can be analysed in the lap view. You can scroll through the values of each lap or select a value and compare the laps with each other.
Ghost Race
One data set can be selected from the stored log data using the DATA CENTER, which serves as a virtual opponent for a "ghost race". On the display the rider can always see the time and route distance from the "ghost" and who is leading.
NFC & SIGMA LINK
The BC 23.16 STS has a built-in NFC chip. Using NFC (near field communication)¹, the data of a trip can be read directly on the smartphone. Also settings on the BC 23.16 STS can be made by means of this radio transmission. For this purpose, the user can load the free SIGMA LINK app on the smartphone beforehand. Using the app, you can upload your workout data on the SIGMA DATA CENTER or other training platforms (for example, Strava, Training Peaks).
Power in watts
The BC 23.16 STS calculates your current and average performance in wattage. Thus you can always compare your performance.
Temperature display All models from the BC 14.16/STS/CAD to the BC 23.16 have a temperature indicator. This shows the current temperature of your environment at all times.
Speed comparison
A comparison of the current and average speed. While cycling, a permanent comparison is made of your current and average speeds. The difference is indicated by an up or down arrow. When moving at approximately the average speed, no arrow is displayed.
Adjustable wheel sizes
When using two bikes, two wheel sizes can be set that are automatically (automatic only for STS) detected. To use this function, the speed transmitter must be switched to that on the second bike and the right wheel circumference for ‘bike 2’ must be set on the BC 23.16 STS.
Integrated storage chip
Thanks to an integrated memory chip in the computer head unit, all the total values and settings are permanently stored in the device. After changing the battery, you therefore only need to reset the time.
Information on the power status
All devices from BC 23.16 STS upward come with a battery status indicator. The power status of the battery in the computer head unit or STS transmitter is checked at regular intervals. If the battery is low, an early warning is displayed on the computer head unit.

Design/Technology
Maximum display, minimum size The design of the TOPLINE 2016 is vertically oriented and perfectly fits the handlebar stem with the sleek design. The new shape allows for improved display options of the functions. This means, for example, that the speed of the BC 23.16 STS is shown in large characters and is always visible in the three-line display.
Housing Height x width x depth: 66,5 mm x 44 mm x 12,5 mm
Display Height x width: 30 mm x 45 mm
Animated menu navigation
Small graphics facilitate the orientation in the BC 23.16 STS menu. They show workout graphics in the height profile and settings menu field. A scroll bar indicates where you are currently.
Digitally encoded three-channel wireless transmission
The tried-and-tested SIGMA TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (STS) is the digitally encoded transmission system for all transmitter data from the speed transmitter, the cadence transmitter, and even the heart rate transmitters for the high-quality basic devices and top models. The transmitters collate the data they have received and send this to the receiver integrated into the computer as a data package. The transmitters also regularly send stored test data for data comparison purposes. The digital encoding of the SIGMA TRANSMISSION SYSTEM prevents transmitter data from being corrupted by external interferences such as power sources or other transmitters. The interference of Sigma products, e.g. LED lights, can also be prevented.
STS transmitter
The STS transmitter has a movable mounting foot, which ensures an optimal mounting of the transmitter in every situation. Transmitter and magnet can therefore always be installed in parallel. This results in a more stable radio transmission.
Backlight Light
on, quite simple. Enable light mode and the display is illuminated with every other push of the button.
Watertight
The BC 23.16 STS is waterproof according to the international standard IPX 8. This means there is "protection against permanent immersion". Nothing stands in the way during the next ride in the rain.
Click-magnets
Both new magnets (normal & power) are equipped with a click-mounting mechanism. This makes installation even easier. Devices can also be removed without tools. Cadence magnet
The new cadence magnet can be attached directly on the inside of the pedal without further aids. Since it is very thin, the risk of friction with the transmitter is avoided even in tight spaces. In order to function well with larger distances from the sensor or with non-magnetic pedal axles, two plastic clip holders for the magnet are also included in the delivery.
