London, UK, 10th<\/sup> December 2013 <\/strong>\u2013<\/strong> Wahoo Fitness, the leader in iPhone™ powered fitness, running and cycling devices, recently closed a successful Kickstarter campaign<\/a> funding the creation of the RFLKT+ smart bike computer<\/a>. Now shipping and available for purchase, the RFLKT+ is powered by ANT+ and Bluetooth technology through the iPhone. The RFLKT+ (\u201cREFLECT PLUS\u201d) adds the functionality of connecting directly to ANT+<\/a> devices such as power metres, speed\/cadence sensors and heart rate monitors, as well as a barometric altimeter for accurate elevation data. A perfect integration of a bike computer and a smartphone, the RFLKT+ reflects<\/em> the data from the iPhone directly onto the handlebar or bike stem mounted computer screen.<\/p>\n

The RFLKT+ takes the ANT+ signal and converts it to Bluetooth Smart (aka Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth 4.0) so the iPhone can read the data and then display on the RFLKT+ screen. Cyclists can store their iPhone in a jersey pocket or bike mounted gearbox, while still receiving all their App and sensor data in real-time on the handlebar mounted RFLKT+ bike computer.<\/p>\n

GPS, elevation, speed, cadence, heart rate, power, turn by turn, interval settings and more, is all possible with the power of Apps and the power of the RFLKT+<\/ins>. With Wahoo\u2019s multiple App partnerships, cyclists can use all the popular Apps they have grown to love including Strava<\/a>, MapMyFitness<\/a>, Cyclemeter<\/a> and more<\/a>. The RFLKT even allows cyclists to control the iPhone\u2019s music library (play\/pause\/skip) all from the handlebar-mounted display.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to all the early supporters of this project, we were able to deliver this much needed bike computer,\u201d says Wahoo CEO Chip Hawkins. \u201cThere is a missing link bridging the gap from highly adopted ANT+ bike sensors and the ever-changing app\/smartphone world. Many of the cyclists out there are carrying their iPhone while using Apps to track their rides, but they\u2019re also still carrying a designated bike computer because it has historically connected to their ANT+ sensors\u2026the RFLKT+ changes that and puts all their data, from all their sensors (BLE or ANT+), into one convenient place. ”<\/p>\n
