Wahoo announces digital convergence with Specialized. [Specialized's ANGi sensor, which is part of the helmet, is one of the breakthrough technologies in terms of positional crash safety.

Acceleration- and position-sensitive electronics calculate when a rider is involved in a severe crash and initiate a ping to the crash location so that emergency response teams can respond.

ANGi's sensors have proven to be an excellent redundancy safety technology, especially for riders who value the care of riding alone.

If you are an avid gravel bike rider who finds it worthwhile to explore remote country roads and tally your mileage, there is now an option to add an extra layer of safety to the ANGi sensors.

Popular cycling computer brand Wahoo has updated the software integration of its Elemnt product to sync with the ANGi sensor on Specialized helmets.

The scope of this enhancement means that riders can now pair their Elemnt GPS cycle computer with the Specialized Ride app. Wahoo has confirmed that iOS smartphone users will have immediate access to this new integration and riders using Android devices can expect it to roll out soon.

Why would you want to link your Elemnt cycle computer to ANGi sensors as well when you are already riding with a linked smartphone in your pocket?

ANGi sensors give riders time to recover and disable the emergency signal protocol after a crash. For many riders, it may be difficult to quickly access their smartphone and disable the feature with gloved hands.
