Wahoo Fitness, a specialist in connected fitness devices and indoor cycling ecosystems, has today announced two key updates for its ELEMNT Bike Computers. These enable users to have ‘access to a host of new partners and data streams’.
Wahoo is also planning a ‘substantial new product announcement’ at Eurobike in Germany in early September. According to the company, this will ‘reinvent the space of indoor training and Wahoo’s unmatched ride feel once again.’
First up in today’s new feature announcement, is ANT+ Radar support for all ELEMNT GPS models, including the recently launched ELEMNT ROAM, allowing those ELEMNTs to be compatible with ANT+ Rearview Radar devices for added road safety. According to Wahoo, this has been one of the most requested features for the ELEMNT platform and is now available via a firmware update to the ELEMNT Bike Computer.
In addition, the ELEMNT integrations continue to expand with the newly added TrainerRoad Outdoor Workouts. TrainerRoad’s Outdoor Workouts, combined with an ELEMNT bike computer, allows riders to substitute an outside equivalent for a regularly scheduled indoor TrainerRoad workout. This new integration also gives access to the maximum allowed three days of workouts directly on an ELEMNT, giving riders the ability to adjust training on the fly.
TrainerRoad will join the likes of Today’s Plan and Training Peaks in improving the ability of their users to access their workouts outdoors by syncing their workouts to all ELEMNT GPS models. ELEMNT users can expect this update later this autumn/fall via a firmware update.
“With multiple platforms offering multiple different functions for users, cycling computers need to be as inclusive as possible,” said Megan Powers, Product Manager for Wahoo Fitness. “We want our products to remove barriers to performance and safety, not add to them, and that’s what these key updates are all about.”
