New firmware updates enable native sensor integration with CORE, FLOWBIO, Tymewear and hDrop - bringing elite-level metrics directly to riders’ screens.
Atlanta, GA (Tuesday 2nd June 2026) – Wahoo Fitness, the leading enduranceathlete fitness technology company, has unveiled a series of innovative sensor integrations for its ELEMNT bike computers. This update sees native integrations with not one, but four next-generation sensors, ensuring riders have access to elite-level metrics while riding. These updates are driven by customer feedback and evolving user requirements, representing another significant step forward in enhancing the cycling experience for Wahooligans.
The Sensors
The CORE Body Temperature Sensor gives endurance athletes continuous, non-invasive core body temperature readings in real time, helping optimise pacing, cooling, and heat training strategies. Used by elite cyclists, runners, and triathletes, CORE delivers advanced thermal performance insights previously reserved for the lab.
FLOWBIO’s sensor measures fluid and sodium loss continuously during exercise, streaming readings in real time to the rider’s Wahoo device. Adopted by World Tour teams, PTO athletes and world-leading performance centres such as Red Bull High Performance in Salzburg, it can be worn on the arm or clipped onto a standard heart rate chest strap, seamlessly fitting within existing athlete setups. Sensor output feeds into FLOWBIO’s Advanced Hydration Intelligence (AHi) platform, covering every phase of training, from pre-session planning and in-ride adjustments to a structured post-session recovery plan. Accuracy has been independently validated by Europe’s leading heat research university, with the full methodology and dataset publicly available.
hDrop provides real-time sweat analysis, helping athletes monitor hydration and electrolyte loss during training and racing. By translating sweat composition data into actionable insights, hDrop enables riders to develop more precise hydration strategies.
Tymewear is the first wearable that brings performance-lab personalisation to everyday training. VitalPro measures breathing within 97% of laboratory testing to identify each athlete's ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2), then builds training zones, workouts, and plans around them. No lab visit required.
Breathing becomes a source of truth that athletes train against, instead of generic targets. The research is clear: across dozens of trials comparing individual threshold-based training to standard heart-rate or power-based zones, it improves 100% of athletes and delivers more than 2x the fitness gain.
Taking The Lab Outside
From respiratory metrics provided by Tymewear, to hydration insights from FLOWBIO and hDrop, these integrations bring lab-grade physiological monitoring directly to the bike, highlighting Wahoo’s ongoing commitment to deliver added value to customers through regular updates. With the data now sitting alongside figures like power and heart rate on ELEMNT computers, the update will enable athletes to make more informed decisions around pacing, hydration, cooling, and energy management during the session rather than deconstructing them afterwards.
The CORE integration update is scheduled to go live on June 2nd 2026, followed by the FLOWBIO, Tymewear and hDrop integrations which are scheduled to go live later in June.
Gareth Joyce, CEO of Wahoo, commented: “At Wahoo, we’re constantly focused on delivering meaningful innovation that enhances the riding experience for every athlete. Partnering with these innovative sensor brands reflects our commitment to listen to our customers and continuously evolve the ELEMNT ecosystem through meaningful software updates. By bringing next-generation performance metrics directly to riders’ screens, we’re giving Wahooligans even more ways to train smarter and ride further”.
