The Coros Dura has dimensions of 99.5 x 60.8 x 15.7mm and weighs 99 grams. The design of the Coros Dura is intended to have a minimal impact on aerodynamics. It features an aerodynamic out-front mount that keeps the device secure and supports handlebars with diameters of 31.8mm or 25.4mm. The device itself is designed to slip through the air to minimize drag, and its sleek, compact shape contributes to its overall aerodynamic efficiency.
The Coros Dura GPS head unit offers several unique features compared to its competitors:
Solar-powered battery life: The Dura has a battery life of 120 hours of consecutive riding, thanks to its highly efficient solar panels6. In optimal conditions, it can gain up to 2 hours of extra riding time for every hour in direct sunlight.
Compact design: The Dura measures a similar size to the Wahoo Elemnt Roam and mounts using a Garmin-style quarter-turn mount. It features an aerodynamically shaped black plastic housing that is narrower and shallower at the leading edge, making it visually striking and compact.
Digital Dial: The Dura has a large Digital Dial on the right-hand side, which mimics the functionality of the similar dials found on the brand's range of smartwatches. This also doubles as an 'ok' button and is joined by a 'back/lap' button just beneath it.
Access to satellite systems: The Dura can access GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, and OZSS satellite systems to get a fix on location. Inbuilt algorithms switch on and off necessary functions to optimize battery life.
Additional features: The Dura comes with an in-built bike alarm and crash detection functionality, an overview of upcoming climbs, and smart mid-ride rerouting using Google Maps (via phone connection), leveraging live data such as traffic and road closures.
Affordability: The Coros Dura is priced at £249.00 / US$249.00 / €289.00 / AU$449.00, making it cheaper than some of its competitors like the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and the Garmin Edge 540.
These features, along with its competitive price, make the Coros Dura a strong contender in the GPS bike computer market.
The Coros Dura is compatible with GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, and OZSS satellite systems to determine location1. To optimize battery life during operation, the device uses inbuilt algorithms that switch on and off necessary functions based on satellite availability and signal strength. Additionally, the Coros Dura utilizes both the original L1 and the latest L5 GPS signals for a balance of reliability and accuracy, especially in dense cover or built-up areas.
