komoot and Wahoo introduce Live Sync, making route planning and navigation faster for cyclists
Plan your route, ride instantly, and adapt mid ride without interruption
Milano, May 7, 2026 Outdoor navigation platform komoot and endurance sports technology company Wahoo Fitness are expanding their long-standing integration with the launch of komoot Live Sync, a new feature that allows cyclists to sync routes from komoot to their Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers even faster – and update them on the go. With Live Sync, routes from komoot update in real time on Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers, keeping the ride seamless from start to finish.
The new functionality arrives as ultra-endurance cyclist Lael Wilcox prepares for one of the most ambitious cycling challenges ever attempted: riding around the world in under 78 days, faster than any rider in history. During such rides, routes often need to change quickly due to weather, road closures, or logistical adjustments. Live Sync allows riders to modify a route in the komoot app and have the update appear instantly on their Wahoo device without interrupting navigation.
When you’re trying to ride around the world as fast as possible, every minute matters. Plans change constantly on a ride like that. Being able to quickly adjust a route and send it straight to your bike computer makes a big difference.

Start navigation instantly
With Live Sync, cyclists can plan or choose a route in komoot and start navigating on their Wahoo device by tapping “Navigate with Wahoo.” The route is automatically transferred and ready to follow within seconds.
The feature also allows riders to adjust their route mid-ride. If a change is made in the komoot app, the updated route appears instantly on the connected Wahoo device without stopping the current navigation.
Planning in komoot, navigation on Wahoo
The integration combines komoot’s route planning tools with navigation on Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers. Riders can plan routes using komoot features such as global heatmaps, surface and way-type information, highlights from the community, and points of interest along the route.
