Best Bike Split, the race prediction software specialist acquired by TrainingPeaks in 2014, has partnered with Wahoo Fitness. The new partnership aims to ‘realize the full potential of race day power plans using the new ELEMNT cycling computer’.
Best Bike Split (BBS) takes a rider’s power data, course info and race-day conditions to predict race performance and create a pacing strategy, using power targets for the course. This integration with the Wahoo ELEMNT cycling computer allows athletes to ‘view and use their BBS race day power plan to hit their goal time’. The ELEMNT features ANT+, Bluetooth Smart, and WiFi connectivity, which allows riders to view key ride metrics, navigate a route, track fellow riders’ locations in real-time as well as receive en-route call, text and email notifications using a large-format, high-contrast DayBright display.
“The ELEMNT integration really achieves what I had envisioned three years ago as the ultimate way to implement a race day plan,” said Best Bike Split Chief Scientist Ryan Cooper.”
Connecting Best Bike Split to a Wahoo ELEMNT device:
- Open the ELEMNT app on mobile device
- Under Profile select Linked Accounts
- Select the Best Bike Split icon
- Enter Best Bike Split email and password
- Select Authorize Account
- The account will then be linked and BBS Races and Courses will be synced to the ELEMNT once connected to the app
During training and racing, the BBS and ELEMNT integration allows a rider to follow a race plan. Race targets update throughout the ride via GPS – based on the specific targets set by the Best Bike Split race plan. As the companies point out, ‘With the plan in front of you on race day, you will know how to perfectly pace your effort.’
