Over the years we have seen different types of computers which not only vary in size, but in technology as well. Earlier notebooks and home PCs fall under the category of computers, but today tablets are also recognized under this label. However, now Wahoo Fitness has introduced a completely new kind of computer that you can attach with the handlebars of your bicycles. This new kind of computer is called RFLKT and it is more of fitness gadget than a computer. It is designed for cyclist, especially for those who like to carry their iPhone with them whenever they take out their bike for a spin.

 

At this point in time many readers will ask why they should have a Wahoo Fitness’ RFLKT computer when they already have at least one computer at home or at work. The answer to this question is pretty simple; the RFLKT computer basically works with an iPhone, as it can be paired with this smartphone via Bluetooth. After that, the user can see anything on this computer that displays or appears on the screen of his or her iPhone. More importantly to have this view, riders do not need to take their iPhone out of the pocket, which keeps their smartphone free from any type of harm such as dropping it over a hard surface or revealing it to snow or rain.

 

This allows you to keep your iPhone tucked away while riding your bicycle and at the same time use different apps or browse over the internet, which is not a wise thing to do while riding, especially during rush hour. In addition to this, riders can also use the RFLKT computer to view fitness related apps, which can help them monitor their speed, the distance they covered and other important data related to personal training without taking out the iPhone.

 

However, the most important feature of Wahoo Fitness’ RFLKT computer is that it can also play music from the music library of riders’ iPhone or by accessing the internet. The buttons given on the side of this bicycle computer allow riders to control the music played on this device. This new fitness computer is available in stores for sale from Thursday, February 14 and the price of this device is $129.99. Hopefully, this new gadget will remain successful in grabbing the attention of many bicycle riders out there, who wants to do a lot of things at a time.
