![]() ![]() In the case of sensor-driven data, such as a power meter, the unit will automatically hide fields for non-connected data. So you can see this below as I change from 1 field to 10 fields: Higher priority metrics get displayed, and then lower priority metrics disappear. You can then increase or decrease the number of metrics during the ride on the fly. Rather, you configure what is sorta a ‘list’ of prioritized data metrics. For starters, you don’t configure each data page separately. But the ELEMNT arranges the data fields a little bit differently. As well as trainers and soon the GoPro action cam. #Google mytracks still usable BluetoothIt can connect to both ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart sensors, such as heart rate straps, power meters, and speed/cadence sensors. When it comes to data display, Wahoo obviously displays your ride data. Not to mention the sweet LED scheme on the unit for displaying intensity information. Plus, the pairing process is pretty cool and much cleaner than any other bike computer out there. Additionally, it has a bit of a higher level of integration on the phone than most competitive units – allowing for features such as friend location display and complete configuration via the phone app. For example, the unit can display maps and routes, which are pulled from OpenStreetMap and 3rd party services like Strava. While the ELEMNT is first and foremost a GPS bike computer, it does more than just display data metrics. So…let’s dive into it! Features and Functionality: As such, this isn’t an in-depth review but rather a look at the features and functionality. ![]() Like any other pre-release product it may get better…or worse. Of course all these units are/were prototypes/beta, and thus things are subject to change. I had a chance at Eurobike to go out for a ride with the unit, as well as poke at it a few other times this summer (and now have a beta unit to test). Yet at the same time, it’s got much stronger phone integration than most other units out there. With ELEMNT, it’s fully self-sustaining during a ride (no phone needed). You’ll remember their past bike computers (RFLKT & RFLKT+) which were driven by a connected phone and utilized the phone for GPS and control of the screens. Wahoo has made their first entrant into the GPS bike computer world, with ELEMNT (it’s like the word element, but missing one ‘e’). Definitely swing over for all the details! Heads up April 2016 – Update! My Wahoo ELEMNT In-Depth review post is now available and published over here. ![]()
