ELEMNT WG77-302138 - 14 April, 2026

  • Added: Updated Wind Dynamics (ELEMNT ACE)

    Wind Dynamics gets a significant upgrade. Wind Impact is now the primary wind value — showing directly how much a headwind, tailwind, or draft is affecting your speed, no mental math required. New supporting fields including Potential Speed, Wind Grade, and Resistance Ratio give you a fuller picture of how wind and grade are shaping your ride.

    A new dedicated Wind page brings all of this together in one place, and the Map page wind widget now shows Wind Impact (green for tailwind, red for headwind). Post-ride, your Wind Dynamics summary now includes a Resistance Ratio breakdown showing how much of your effort went toward fighting wind vs. climbing.

    For more information, see ELEMNT ACE Wind sensor and Wahoo Wind Dynamics
