Hasta La Gadget!

Ladies and gentlemen, might I present you the Wahoo Fitness RFLKT Bike Computer, which is touted to be the only iPhone-powered cycling computer in the world. Available from today onwards, the interestingly named RFLKT will be able to receive or “reflect” your cycling App data, heart-rate, speed, cadence, and music data amongst others wirelessly, ensuring that your iPhone remains safely in your jersey pocket or storage box. Compatible with the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5, the Wahoo Fitness RFLKT can be purchased for $129.99 a pop.

Wireless data transmission is achieved over Bluetooth connectivity, and with the relevant control buttons, cyclists are able to operate their favorite iPhone cycling App, in addition to toggling between screens, start/stop intervals and even control iPhone functionality, all from the RFLKT itself, without endangering your iPhone to possible drops or falls on the outside. Since the RFLKT maintains a sleek profile and tips the scale at just 2 ounces, having it around is more or less unnoticeable even when mounted. Who says you cannot work out and look cool at the same time? [Product Page]

Sure, you can turn your smartphone into a bike computer, but if you’d rather not put your pricey piece of tech anywhere near harm’s way, Wahoo Fitness’ RFLKT Bike Computer offers an alternative. Instead of packing all the brains, the device sits atop a bicycle’s handlebar and displays data it’s fed via Bluetooth 4.0 from cycling apps running on an iPhone 4S or 5. At launch, the hardware will support the firm’s own Cyclemeter application and Wahoo Fitness App which can monitor ride information ranging from location to speed, in addition to heart rate with additional accoutrement. Aspiring Alberto Contadors can page through data and even sift through tunes on their playlist with the help of buttons on the device’s side. Gently tipping the scales at 2 ounces, the RFLKT measures up at 2.4- x 1.6 x 0.5-inches and boats a one-year battery life on a single coin cell. Wahoo’s gadget is slated for a December launch, but there’s still no word on pricing. For more specifics, take a gander at the full press release below.
