Although the original Wahoo TICKR is still one of the best heart rate monitors on the market, Wahoo decided to upgrade it. Both the new TICKR and the new TICKR X models are more compact and have more functions than their predecessors; in addition to offering many functions for runners, cyclists or anyone trying to monitor their heart rate by doing full-body HIIT exercises.
Wahoo recently announced the availability in Spain of the Wahoo Bike Trainer , as well as a range of top-notch turbo trainers, such as the Wahoo Kickr Snap Bike Trainer , probably the most accessible entry to the Wahoo ecosystem. That is, if you don’t take Wahoo heart rate monitors into account, you should, especially now that they’ve been updated.
As Wahoo says: ” A new slimmer shape and integrated strap design make the latest TICKR and TICKR X the lightest heart rate monitors available at just 48 grams (pod and strap together). Both TICKR and TICKR X now they can be paired simultaneously on three Bluetooth devices, plus ANT + connections . ”
That’s not too bad, especially considering that even the best race watches on the market are heavier than this and probably not as accurate when it comes to heart rate readings as the new Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitors. . Dual connectivity is also a nice touch, not to mention long battery life: by increasing battery life by almost 50%, both the TICKR and TICKR X now allow up to 500 hours of use with a single battery. . And that is a lot of exercise.
Why you should buy the new Tickr and Tickr X from Wahoo?
In addition to all the details we mentioned earlier, the updated TICKR X also offers the ability to transmit indoor cycling cadence to the Wahoo Fitness app. Better yet, the TICKR X can now streamline enhanced running dynamics to compatible smartwatches via ANT +, giving runners real-time access to their cadence, vertical oscillation, and ground contact time.
The TICKR X goes further in running: runners can use a patented Running Smoothness score through the Wahoo Fitness app, ” helping to improve their efficiency and shape .” TICKR X can also store up to 50 hours of training data , which will be synced to your smartphone via the Wahoo Fitness app. After starting the workout in the Wahoo app, you can leave the phone behind and take a monster 3-hour ride on your road bike.
The Wahoo TICKR is now available with a new Stealth color scheme, complementing the original white and blue color scheme. The new TICKR Stealth variant is also available as part of the ELEMNT ROAM and ELEMNT BOLT Stealth Edition packages.
