Wahoo Updates TICKR and TICKR X Heart Rate Monitors
Today Wahoo announced a few key updates to the popular TICKR family of heart rate monitors. Both TICKR and TICKR X have been redesigned with a new look and updated firmware that enhance their connectivity, power, and comfort.
The all new Wahoo TICKR in stealth grey
A new, slimmer shape and integrated strap design make the latest TICKR and TICKR X the lightest heart rate monitors available at only 48g/1.7oz (pod and strap together). Both TICKR and TICKR X can now simultaneously pair up to three Bluetooth devices, in addition to ANT+ connections. With an eye toward making TICKR easier to use, the LEDs are now at the top of the pod body, so users can easily check to make sure their devices are connected and recording data. By increasing the battery life by nearly 50%, both the TICKR and TICKR X now allow up to 500 hours of use on a single battery.
