OUR HISTORY
-
2009: ANT+ KEY
It all started due to a simple need: a better way to track, measure and share training data from your fitness sensors. That need spun into the ANT+ Key.
-
2012: BLUE HR & BLUE SC
With mostly ANT+ sensors on the market, Wahoo saw the opportunity to connect in a new way using Bluetooth Technology as an alternative. In 2012, we introduced the Blue HR & SC sensors, the first heart rate, speed, and cadence sensors that connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth.
-
2013: KICKR
We wanted to continue to build on this idea of connected training, and leverage technology to bring the hard rides inside and simulate the resistance and feeling of being outdoors. We set out to build something of our own, not knowing it would change the way cyclists train indoors and spark a revolution.
-
2014: TICKR
Keeping with the theme of connectivity, TICKR was built with dual-band technology to make heart rate and calorie tracking easy with whichever 3rd party platform or device you chose to train.
-
2015: KICKR SNAP
To build on the success and proven technology of KICKR, we wanted to give athletes and the market a comparable wheel-on smart trainer. Hence KICKR SNAP was born.
-
2016: ELEMNT
Now that we had indoor metrics figured out, it was time to step outside our comfort zone. We set out to radically simplify GPS bike computers from the setup to the user experience. The result was ELEMNT, a simply powerful GPS bike computer that uses the intuitive interface of your smartphone to configure and customize the device via the ELEMNT Companion App.
-
2017: ELEMNT BOLT
We refined the features and user experience with ELEMNT, but wanted to take the hardware design to the next level. We worked with aerodynamic experts to create a sleek, integrated computer and mount designed for performance.
-
2018: TRAINER ECOSYSTEM & KICKR CORE
By 2018 we'd mastered tracking and sharing rides indoors and out; now our focus turned to making indoor training the most accessible and immersive experience it could be. We developed KICKR CORE, KICKR CLIMB & KICKR HEADWIND, to bring the elements and movement of riding outside, indoors, and allow athletes to build their dream indoor cycling ecosystem based on their training goals and budget.
-
2019: ELEMNT ROAM
With a performance computer in the portfolio, we set out to build a computer fit for exploration and adventure. We incorporated on-device navigation, a larger screen and longer battery to give cyclists the freedom to ROAM.
-
2019: KICKR BIKE
The obvious progression to this revolution was to replicate, not just your outdoor ride, but your entire outdoor bike setup. The culmination of this effort, KICKR BIKE, is a fully customizable indoor smart bike, with grade simulation, that uses the intuitive interface of your smartphone to recreate your outdoor bike ride feel.
-
2020: ELEMNT RIVAL
With many Wahooligan athletes' being multidisciplinary, we knew we needed to create a device to track all their workouts, and not just rides; A sport watch built for a seamless multisport experience.
-
2021: SPEEDPLAY
Simplicity is at the core of our DNA. With the acquisition of SPEEDPLAY pedals, we knew we had a superstar product that we could enhance the user experience of. We reengineered the legendary pedals for easier installation and maintenance, with the same powerful impact of performance and comfort on the bike.
-
2021: SYSTM Training App
To create a fully-integrated ecosystem and help athletes train more effectively, we knew we needed a software platform that wasn't just motivating, but comprehensive and built on cutting-edge sports science. The result is the Wahoo SYSTM Training App. With more content, features, and integrations on the horizon, this is just the beginning.
