Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers’ capability is expanded via a software update.
A number of software updates for ELEMNT bike computers have been released by Wahoo Fitness. The newest ROAM and BOLT devices now have these improvements, which include GoPro Control, Smart Light Control, Music Control, and Training Plans integration.
Wahoo has released a first-of-its-kind update for the ELEMNT line that allows riders to control their GoPro action cameras from their handlebars. Bike riders can record video of their rides with the ELEMNT’s direct access to record/pause, take pictures, and change camera settings. (The feature’s launch date is TBD.)
The most recent version of Smart Light Control centralizes bike lighting management onto ELEMNT computers. Now, cyclists can couple their ELEMNT with smart lights that are ANT+ compatible, such as those made by Bontrager and Garmin, to enable control features like turning lights on and off and changing settings.
With the recently introduced feature of automatically activating lights at the beginning and ending a journey, riders can maintain their attention on the road ahead.
With the ELEMNT series, Wahoo has also added Music Control, which allows playback control straight from the bike computer. Riders may play/pause, skip, and adjust the volume on a separate music control page while enjoying their favorite songs, podcasts, or audiobooks without having to deal with their phone.
With the help of Wahoo’s new Training Plans interface, ELEMNT bike computers can receive scheduled workouts straight from third-party training platforms. By utilising workouts from several sources, customers may enhance their outdoor training experience and maximize their training routines with the help of this new API capabilities.
In addition to the already-established interfaces with Wahoo SYSTM and TrainingPeaks, additional platforms that have opted to link with Wahoo’s API are Humango, FinalSurge, Nolio, and Join. Wahoo said there will be more in the near future.
Additionally, Wahoo added Dark Mode to ELEMNT computers to enhance visibility in a range of lighting scenarios.
“At Wahoo, we are committed to continuously improving rider’s experience with their Wahoo devices,” stated Chip Hawkins, the company’s founder. We can listen to our community and apply many of the enhancements they want to enhance their rides and performance through routine software updates.
