Probably not. Most watches don’t broadcast data to other devices, they only record and/or receive it. With my 2022 Vado 5, my HR monitor (Polar Verity) actually pairs to the Mission Control app, and then displays on the head unit.

Very impressive! How many miles total? And I agree that for commuting the IGH is perfect- I have the Vado 5 IGH. I often catch red lights while heading up steep hills, and not worrying about shifting while stopping and pulling away definitely makes it easier to focus on not getting run over…

I looked through all the display options and it does seem to be gone! Maybe it will come back in a future update…

It shows you where it is in the range- the relative ratio. I haven’t looked for this with the new app. I’ll try to remember next time I ride my 5.0 IGH.

I’ve got Crankbrothers Stamp flat 3 in large and they’ve been great. And some Five Ten shoes to with them. My feet never slip off the pedals!

Best time to buy is before your next ride.

You have to do what’s right for you, not for us! Out of curiosity, why did you replace your Vado 4? Seems like you already had the perfect bike for your needs.

Not exactly the same, but there is an “experience center” not too far from me. It’s possible to rent any of the bikes for an all day ride. https://specializedsantacruz.com/bicycle-demo

I run about 38 front and back. It’s what the service guy recommended.

So this version writes directly to Apple Health- good! Yet it doesn’t record HR even though it shows on the head unit- bad! Presumably that will be enabled in a future update. Seems like they released this app a few months too soon.

After too many foggy days, the sun finally emerged, so I went out for a nice 20 mi ride. That’s San Francisco in the background.

Why buy this bike if you don’t want automatic shifting? You could get the non-IGH Vado 5, or the non-automatic Vado 3 IGH.

FYI, there are no gears. It’s a CVT- continuously variable transmission. Just like a Prius 😆 The little bars on the display are just representative of the ratio, not an actual gear indicator. That being said, it definitely sounds like something is not right with your transmission. My commute...

The new S app does not have HR support yet. Presumably it will be coming in the near future. Not sure why they released already considering it's lacking so many features from the previous MC app. Right now it will just be confusion until they update the app, manuals, web, etc...

Which head unit do you have on the bike? On my Vado 5 I can pair my HR monitor directly to the head unit by pressing the + and - buttons together to enter the setup mode.

While I generally agree with this- I have Varia and a mirror on my bike- at Class 3 speeds the wind noise is such that I can't always hear a car coming up behind me. And at those speeds I'm watching ahead of me much more than looking in the mirror. IMHO, the Varia definitely has a place on a...

I forgot that was an option! i just paired the HR monitor directly to the head unit. I have a similar page on the display. Thanks.

I’m MC, make sure you disconnect from the bike. No need to delete it. You can only connect to one of the apps at a time. Another thing SA doesn’t do: connect to my HR strap. Guess I’ll stick with MC until they port over all the features I actually use…

Presumably they will bring more of the MC features over to the new app. Pretty easy to switch between them in the meantime, though probably not something you’d want to do mid ride.

FYI. I think this only applies to the 5 with the built-in Varia.
