Elevation made easy: The latest updates to The One

Elevation made easy: The latest updates to The One

You’re setting out on a new adventure, ready to tackle a challenging route. As you glance at The One, you immediately notice something different – your view of the climb is now more vivid and clearer than ever before, thanks to the newly updated height profile. 

 

We’ve crafted a software- and App update to make your ride smoother and your challenges easier to anticipate:

 

A New Spectrum of Elevation

Imagine starting your route on a flat, serene road. As the incline begins, the landscape shifts to a fresh Green (0-3,4%), indicating a gentle climb. The path gets steeper, transitioning to Yellow (3,5-6,9%) as your heart rate quickens, before hitting Orange (7-10,4%)—the moment when you know you’re truly in for a workout. And for those legendary climbs above 10,5%, you’ll see the tough Red (10,5-13,9%) and Purple (>14%) emerge—your badge of honor. 

This new color gradient doesn’t just look beautiful—it allows you to feel the changes in elevation, helping you prepare mentally and physically for what lies ahead.

Height profile of The One

Improved Height Profile Steps

We’ve fine-tuned the steps between elevation meters. Now, the steps between incline levels are more consistent, giving you a clearer sense of what to expect as you conquer each climb. Whether you’re planning your next adventure or just curious about how long that last hill was, the updated height profile is designed to help you navigate your ride with confidence. Here’s to your next great climb—brighter, clearer, and more manageable with The One.

New App Features for Smoother Navigation

In addition to the height profile improvements, we’re introducing two major updates that make route planning and navigation more flexible:

Direct GPX File Integration

Gone are the days of navigating through multiple steps to load a route. You can now open GPX files from anywhere on your device—be it your file manager, email or a messaging app—and they will automatically open in the App. This feature saves you time and makes it easier to load new routes.

Flexible Ride Replanning

Sometimes plans change and now The One is designed to adapt. You can replan an already existing ride in your app’s calendar before starting the ride. Whether you need to adjust the date, this feature gives you the flexibility to modify your planning in the calendar.

 

At Absolute Cycling, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your riding experience, and these new features are just the beginning. From clearer elevation tracking to more flexible route planning, The One is designed to be your ultimate cycling companion.

Focus on Your Ride, Feedback at a Glance

Focus on Your Ride, Feedback at a Glance

Feedback and validation of your performance in just a tenth of a second. This is why and how we do it:

Why

At Absolute Cycling, we believe your ride should be your primary focus. The One delivers precisely the right feedback, exactly when you need it—without pulling your attention away from the road or trail. The core function of a cycling computer is simple yet essential: you, the rider, are delivering a performance. And during your ride, you want that effort validated. We break this down into a few key questions:

 

  • Where am I?
  • Where can I go?
  • How fast am I going?
  • How fast can I go?


Here’s how we make it happen:

Screen Design

The One features a spacious 3.1-inch display with the highest resolution on the market, but we focus on showing only the essentials. No cluttered symbols or extra icons—just the information you truly need, keeping your attention on the road. Generous white space ensures your eyes find the data effortlessly, without searching for it.

 

We chose DIN 1451 for all metrics on The One. This font, originally designed for road signs, ensures easy reading even in motion—ideal for quickly understanding your ride data. Using this font consistently across all texts and numbers, users can absorb the information with minimal effort, staying focused on the ride.

 

Our colors, from maps to metrics, are carefully selected for readability. We use highly saturated tones to make key details stand out, combined with a strong contrast ratio to highlight important changes like elevation or route differences. This approach is grounded in cognitive ergonomics, helping your brain process data faster.

Metrics of The One

Instantly Recognize Your Surroundings

When navigating, it’s crucial to confirm you’re on the right path and see what lies ahead. Our maps are built for cyclists, providing clear, distraction-free guidance. We use intuitive, universally recognizable colors: blue for water, light green for fields, dark green for forests, gray for urban areas, and striped lines for train tracks. These familiar cues make it easy to understand your surroundings at a glance, letting you stay focused on your ride.

Minimal Control, Maximum Focus

The controls of The One are designed to keep you focused on the road or trail, not the device. We chose not to include a touchscreen because swiping and tapping demand your attention, turning the device into a distraction. A touchscreen often leads to a desire for more in-ride features, shifting focus away from the ride.

 

With The One, there’s no compromise on advanced features—they’re all available but accessed in a streamlined way. Three simple buttons let you scroll through screens, zoom in and out, and start or stop a ride. That’s it. All other settings are managed through our app before you start riding, so you interact less with the device during your ride. The result is a calmer, safer, and more focused experience, with the assurance that the information you need is always right where you need it.

Tom says: ‘It’s the Rolls Royce of bike computers”

Tom says: ‘It’s the Rolls Royce of bike computers

From daily rides to the ultimate cycling experience with The One, Tom has always had cycling in his blood. In his youth, he would cycle every day from Zevenaar to Arnhem for school. After a few years away from cycling, he got back in the saddle in 2014. The reason? His five-year-old son wanted to start cycling – and not just any cycling, but mountain biking. Determined to share the experience, Tom and his son went to the bike shop and bought their first mountain bike. It quickly became clear that his son had a natural talent. This year, they completed an impressive climb together on the famous La Colombière. A special moment for both of them. In recent years, Tom has clocked over 14,000 kilometers. His rides range from daily commutes to adventurous outings with his son and long group rides with friends. Tom even organizes his own annual “Tour de Tom de Tester,” a 120-kilometer ride through Twente.

Tom’s ultimate cycling companion

Tom isn’t just any cyclist; he’s a true enthusiast with love for innovation. His garage is filled with no less than six bikes: from a gravel bike and road bike to a mountain bike. Cycling is his passion, and the same goes for bike computers. His journey began with a Polar, but over the years, he’s used Wahoo, various Garmin models (Edge 810, 1040, 1030, 1050), and even a Beeline. Today, Tom rides with The One. “The first time I rode with The One, the design immediately stood out. A friend commented on how clear and readable the screen was, and I laughed as he helped me maintain my goal of an average of 29 km/h,” says Tom. After disappointing experiences with other bike computers – like a Wahoo that suddenly showed a speed of 252 km/h or a Garmin that lost navigation in the forest – Tom was looking for something different. Something innovative and unlike any other bike computer. He found that in The One. “The navigation on The One is just much more accurate. Where Garmin tells you to turn right, you actually need to go another 300 meters. I don’t have that issue with The One,” he explains. Tom describes The One as the “Rolls Royce of bike computers.” It all starts with the packaging, which immediately gave him the feeling of unboxing a premium product.

User Story Tom de Tester

Distraction-free cycling

One of the things Tom particularly appreciates about The One is its minimalist approach: no constant beeps or notifications popping up on the screen. “It helps you focus on what really matters,” he says. That, combined with the user-friendliness and flexibility of the display, is something Tom believes the industry should adopt as a standard. This year, Tom met Team Absolute Cycling in Arnhem. “You’ll never hear me say a bad word about Absolute Cycling’s support,” he concludes with satisfaction. 

For Tom, cycling isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. With The One on his handlebars, he enjoys every kilometer even more.

Unmatched Accuracy: How Absolute Altitude Technology (AAT)

Unmatched Accuracy: How Absolute Altitude Technology (AAT)

At Absolute Cycling, we’ve achieved something remarkable: our Absolute Altitude Technology (AAT) consistently outperforms all of the biggest names in the industry when it comes to altitude and gradient accuracy. Through rigorous testing against top competitors, we’ve proven that AAT delivers the most precise data—whether you’re tracking altitude gain or monitoring the gradient of a tough climb. Our technology consistently stays within a 1% margin of error, while others show errors of up to 9%.

Why is Accuracy Important?

Picture this: you’re mid-climb, feeling the burn as the gradient increases and the mountain pushes back. In that moment, you want to know exactly how steep the climb is and how high you’ve already ascended. That real-time confirmation motivates you to push harder, to give everything until you reach the summit. At Absolute Cycling, we understand how crucial that information is. That’s why we developed AAT—an advanced technology that uses sensor fusion to provide pinpoint accuracy, even when GPS and barometric signals are weak. With AAT, you’re always in control, knowing exactly what lies ahead.

Unmatched Altitude Accuracy: AAT

The Secret Behind AAT: Advanced Sensor Fusion

What sets AAT apart is how we seamlessly combine multiple sensors to achieve unmatched precision. By integrating GPS, a barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetic compass, and a dynamic bicycle model, we deliver incredibly accurate altitude and gradient data—whether you’re navigating dense forests, mountainous terrain, or areas with limited GPS coverage. This advanced sensor fusion ensures real-time, reliable data, no matter the conditions.

Grade Accuracy: Precision You Can Trust

When tackling steep climbs, precision is key. AAT offers a grade accuracy with just a 1% margin of error, significantly outperforming the competition, which can deviate by up to 4%. With AAT, you always have a clear and accurate understanding of the gradient, allowing you to adjust your effort and pacing accordingly.

Minimal Delay, Maximum Response

Accuracy isn’t just about precision; speed matters too. AAT provides gradient updates with just a 2-second delay, compared to delays of up to 8 seconds in competing systems. This near-instant feedback keeps you in control of your ride at all times, helping you react swiftly to changing terrain.

Altitude Accuracy: Consistency That Matters

AAT maintains an altitude deviation of only 1%, ensuring you get the most reliable data on total ascent and descent. Competing systems often show deviations as high as 9%, but with AAT, you can trust your data, whether you’re tackling a long climb or descending fast.

Developed in Collaboration with Leading Experts

Our breakthrough in altitude and gradient accuracy wasn’t achieved alone. We collaborated with the renowned research institute Flanders Make to push the boundaries of cycling technology. Together, we’ve developed a system that offers unparalleled performance.

The Future of Cycling Performance

At Absolute Cycling, we’re driven by innovation and performance. AAT is a testament to our commitment to delivering the best cycling technology, developed in collaboration with experts and continually improved through rigorous testing. With AAT, you’re equipped with the most accurate data available to enhance your ride, every time.
