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.
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.
