Polar RS800 / RS800SD / RS800G3 / RS800CX (bike/run/multi) - an explanation of the different available models. OK - let's start with the important stuff. A Polar RS800 (without the CX suffix) is NOT the same as a Polar RS800CX. A Polar RS800 can only support either the G3 GPS pod (RS800G3) or the S3 stride sensor (Polar RS800SD) - A Polar RS800, RS800SD or RS800G3 can NEVER support the BIKE speed or bike cadence sensors. Only the Polar RS800CX can do this.

The RS800CX is a direct REPLACEMENT for obsolete RS800(RS800SD/RS800G3). The RS800CX is a multi sport unit and it can support ALL of the WIND devices (except Power) - that includes G3 GPS, S3 stride sensor, WIND bike speed and WIND pedal cadence.
