Wahoo has announced two key updates for the Elemnt bike computers, enabling users to have access to new partners and data streams.
First up 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. Wahoo has said it 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 of choice, allows riders to substitute an outside equivalent for their regularly scheduled indoor TrainerRoad workout. This new integration also gains them access to the maximum allowed three days of workouts directly on their Elemnt, giving them the ability to adjust their training on the fly.
Elemnt users can expect this update later this Autumn 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.”
Wahoo is also planning a new product announcement at Eurobike in Germany in early September that will “reinvent the space of indoor training and Wahoo’s unmatched ride feel once again.”
