A new year brings a clean slate, and for many cyclists, a fresh set of goals. Whether you’re aiming to ride more consistently, train with purpose, or simply make every hour on the bike count, the right tech can make all the difference.

Wahoo’s latest lineup focuses on practical upgrades that support better riding habits all year long. From GPS computers designed for long days in the saddle to indoor training tools that keep motivation high when the weather turns, these are the pieces of kit that help turn New Year intentions into lasting routines.

Wahoo heart rate monitor

TRACKR HR Monitor

WAHOO’s new TRACKR HR Monitor takes a straightforward approach: accurate data, long battery life and easy pairing with the apps most riders already use. The ECG-level accuracy and 100-plus hours of runtime make it a dependable addition for anyone looking to understand – not just guess – what’s happening under the hood during hard efforts.

Wahoo Element Ace cycling computer

ELEMNT ACE

The ELEMNT ACE is WAHOO’s most ambitious computer to date. A bright touchscreen, thoughtful aerodynamics, wind-resistance sensing and robust navigation tools make it an appealing choice for riders who obsess over detail. The ACE’s real-time aero feedback is particularly interesting, offering insight into how body position affects speed – something normally reserved for the velodrome. It’s a substantial yet intuitive upgrade for data-driven cyclists.

Wahoo Element Roam

ELEMNT ROAM 3

For riders who prefer gravel detours and long days out, the ROAM 3 stands out. Its 2.8-inch touchscreen, built-in speaker navigation and rugged build inspire confidence when the route gets remote. With enhanced mapping, reliable rerouting and multi-network GPS reception, it’s designed for the kind of places where signal – and sometimes cellphones – stop working.

ELEMNT BOLT 3

Compact, aerodynamic and quick to respond, the BOLT 3 is the option for riders who like things simple and fast. The vivid 2.3-inch display keeps essentials front and centre, while the streamlined design appeals to those who care about efficiency without wanting a bulky computer on the bars. It’s well-suited to commuters, road racers and anyone who wants a lightweight companion that still delivers key metrics.

Wahoo Kicker Bike Pro

KICKR Bike Pro

For riders who spend serious time indoors, the KICKR Bike Pro offers a highly polished experience. With realistic gradient simulation, programmable virtual gearing and a fully adjustable fit, it brings much of the outdoor feel inside. Quiet, stable and compatible with most training platforms, it’s a strong option for structured workouts and all-weather consistency.

Wahoo Core 2 indoor trainer

KICKR Core 2

The KICKR Core 2 sits in a sweet spot: accessible, capable and easy to live with. Wi-Fi connectivity, reliable power accuracy and snappy responsiveness make it a solid step up from basic trainers. It’s straightforward to set up, smooth in use and ideal for riders building a dedicated training space or upgrading their current setup without going all-in.

Whether your riding happens outdoors or in your garage before you start the day, WAHOO’s ecosystem offers the tools to make every session count. Find the full range at specialist cycling retailers and on wahoofitness.co.za.
