Wahoo HR straps

The 2014 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show is here, and with it comes the latest generation of wearable and bikeable tech. It seems that motion equipped heart rate monitors will be a big feature this year with Scosche and Wahoo showing their hand. Not only do motion based algorithms allow for improved calorie tracking from your exercise, but in the case of Wahoo the heart rate monitors are able to record acceleration, and even provide feedback on running form. Compatible with both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+, the straps are aimed at both running and cycling and provides useful training guidance with Wahoo’s Burn and Burst training app.

The HR straps will retail for $60-100 and will be available in the first half of 2014. More after the break.

I’m ready to pick one up for myself – huge mountain biker over here, but have been a VIP over at RRS for years so I’m looking from these options: http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/gear/heartratemonitors/
