Wahoo Fitness rolls out Strava Live Segments to ELEMNT GPS

Posted by Elite Custom on

  Today Wahoo became the third company to introduce Strava Live Segment support on devices.  Live Segments means that you can get Strava KOM or PR information during your ride on favorite segments, directly on your Wahoo ELEMNT.  Garmin was the first to introduce this last summer, and then Mio did so on their Cyclo units this past spring.
