I’ve ordered the XCADEY ALPHA 800 and I’m curious to see how it performs in real-world use.
At the moment, I still see the device as being somewhat in a beta stage, but I also think it has a lot of potential, especially because of the Android-based platform and the possibility of extensions.
I’ve contacted XCADEY to ask whether they provide, or plan to provide, an SDK / Developer API. I’d be especially interested in things like custom data fields, additional sensor support, Di2 features, Komoot integration, navigation tweaks, and ride-screen notifications.
Once the device arrives, I’ll take a closer look at what is actually possible and will share my impressions.
The ALPHA 800 is currently available at a reduced price on XCADEY’s website:
