Refactor Fitness RF-1 GPS cycling
computer integrates lights, camera & Android
action.
"We
all want that sleek out-front look for our GPS
cycling computers, but by the time we add a
headlight, and possibly an action cam, those aero
aesthetics get thrown out the window. Refactor
Fitness fixes that by combining an HD video camera
and LED lights into a thin, full featured GPS
cycling computer. It’s called the RF-1, and it
runs on Android 7.0 so you can customize and
update it over time."
