The top row of LEDs indicate a rider\u2019s progress within the segment, lighting up sequentially, while the side row of LEDs indicate the whether the rider is over or under the pace for the KOM, their personal best, or the pace of a pre-selected opponent.<\/p>\n<p>The ELEMNT is also capable of tracking multiple Strava Live Segments simultaneously, as well as while following a route (with or without turn-by-turn cues), a feature unmatched by the competition.<\/p>\n<p>When a rider enters the final 200m of a segment and is within 2 seconds of their target (KOM, personal best or opponent), a helpful \u2018Final Push\u2019 page takes over the display to alert and motivate the rider. Once the segment is completed, a segment history page allows riders to review all Strava Live Segments ridden up to that point in the ride, rather than having to wait until the ride is finished to see how they performed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-37565700-1470341346.gif\" data-fileid=\"775877\" data-fileext=\"gif\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"775877\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-37565700-1470341346.gif\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-37565700-1470341346.gif\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07097900-1470341344.gif\" data-fileid=\"775876\" data-fileext=\"gif\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"775876\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-07097900-1470341344.gif\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07097900-1470341344.gif\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>ELEMNT units will be updated with the new Strava Live Segments feature via an \u2018over-the-air\u2019 firmware update and riders will be able to install the firmware with the press of a button, either within the companion app or directly on the ELEMNT. An updated companion app is also available for download on both iOS and Android platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by cyclists, for cyclists, the ELEMNT packs ANT+, Bluetooth Smart, and WiFi connectivity that allows riders to easily view key ride metrics, navigate a route, track fellow riders\u2019 locations in real-time as well as receive en-route call, text and email notifications\u2014all on it\u2019s large-format, high-contrast DayBright display.
