Wahoo Fitness is expanding its Wahoo X training software package with new features and updates – including outdoor workouts, integrated voice chat, a new virtual ‘Real Road’, as well as new structured training plans and cross-training workouts.
Priced at US$14.99 per month, Wahoo X’s all-in-one membership provides cyclists with the full breadth of year-round riding and training experiences. It offers a combined virtual and real world cycling ecosystem – indoors and outdoors, structured training or virtual riding, racing and challenges.
Via one priced subscription, Wahoo X delivers two apps – Wahoo RGT and Wahoo SYSTM.
Wahoo X’s virtual riding and racing platform RGT has launched a new Voice Chat feature, aiming to further enhancing its immersive virtual riding experience. Voice chat connects users in a brand new way during indoor virtual rides.
Riders will have the option for voice chat ‘in app’, with other riders. This feature has multiple uses from social chat when on group rides, through to race radio in RGT virtual races.
Wahoo X is also launching the ‘Dunoon Crossover’ on RGT – a brand new gravel ‘Real Road’, based on a new high profile cycling destination, soon to open in Scotland. This new route becomes the platform’s first integrated gravel and MTB experience.
‘Single-track off-road sections and resistance changes based on the ride surface, bring a whole new experience to virtual riding and racing – riders must now time their sprints and overtakes.’
This takes RGT’s ‘Real Road’ library to 13, which include iconic cycling locations in Belgium, Italy, France, the UK and the USA. Wahoo has also recently improved and enhanced the ‘Magic Road’ feature – which gives unlimited ride possibilities, allowing members to upload their own routes via a GPX file and ride, share and create events on them.
SYSTM, Wahoo X’s connected training offering is launching a new integration with the ELEMNT range of GPS bike computers. For the first time, riders can now sync their workouts with their Wahoo X subscription, allowing them access to structured workouts whilst riding outside.
This creates a choice for athletes on where they workout. Structured workouts will be synced directly to the user’s ELEMNT bike computer via this integration, providing an opportunity to experience Wahoo’s training methodology outdoors.
SYSTM also continues to grow its extensive library of workouts and videos with the launch of new, immersive training content. This includes the recent release of ‘On Location Portugal’, which adds to the platform’s On Location series.
Wahoo adds that SYSTM boasts a comprehensive list of workouts, to motivate and help athletes further their fitness goals. There are now over 700 workouts available on SYSTM, including cycling, yoga, strength & mobility, running, swimming, and mental training.
Mike Saturnia, CEO at Wahoo, said “Wahoo X is the ultimate all-in-one app for cyclists offering incredible variety, immersive experiences and comprehensive training.
“Whether training indoors or outdoors, our best-in-class hardware products combined with innovative software creates a unique and complete integrated training experience. Our mission is to build a better athlete in all of us, and the latest enhancements to Wahoo X truly delivers.”
He added, “Our Wahoo Sports Science Team are continuously testing and pushing the limits, so we can offer the best plans, training and expertise when it comes to Wahoo X.”
