“The first generation of SOLOS was designed with feedback from USA
Cycling athletes, and so we used these insights along with those of an
entire community of early adopter athletes, including runners, for our
new generation that now encompasses both sports,” said Ernesto Martinez,
program head for SOLOS. “As experienced athletes know, when you look
down at your watch or bike computer, your form suffers; you slow down
and this affects your finishing times. Add to this taking the time to
scroll through features on your smart watch, bike computer or music
device, and those seconds start to make the difference between an
average performance or your personal best. SOLOS lets you stay focused
on the road and on your performance.”

Running

The new generation of SOLOS brings expanded running capabilities,
offering enhanced software to facilitate running metrics such as elapsed
time, speed, power, pace, cadence, heart rate and more. Athletes can
leverage wearable sensors to measure their run performance, set targets
and use the SOLOS platform to track progress on those targets. In
addition to performance features, runners can also listen to music, view
mobile notifications and even receive audio and visual turn-by-turn
instructions. SOLOS provides runners with a safe and seamless training
experience, allowing them to keep their eyes on the road or trail.

Coaching & Group Communication

SOLOS will also connect to a variety of training platforms to facilitate
real-time workout goal progress prompts and feedback based on athletes’
performance targets. Audio and visual cues offer live guidance prompts
during training sessions, not only helping athletes train safer, but
also enabling them to reach their maximum performance. In addition to
the new coaching integration, SOLOS also provides an advanced group chat
communication feature, which allows multiple users to talk live with
each other. Great for a group training with friends, the feature also
allows coaches and athletes the ability to talk with each other during
their performance, extending a coach’s capabilities even further,
allowing them to provide guidance to slow down, speed up or reach the
next heart rate zone.

Hardware & User Experience Upgrades

A key design element of SOLOS is its advanced Vista™ screen
display. Measuring just 4mm in height, the size of a human pupil, it
enables see-through/see-around vision while casting a large enough
virtual screen that features bright, high-resolution full color
graphics. The screen cuts glare and provides athletes with a vibrant,
sunlight readable image to maximize visual clarity and provide a safe
experience.

The new generation of SOLOS offers over five hours of battery life,
expanded horizontal and vertical adjustment of the display location for
a customizable view, earbuds and audio projection speakers positioned at
the temples to improve the overall audio experience. The optics’
patented technology provides a large virtual image, yet is so small that
athletes can stay focused on the road ahead and simply glance at
information as needed. Athletes can now command SOLOS using just their
voice to bring relevant metrics into view, make phone calls or execute
other functions.

“We’re thrilled with the new platform integrations and upgrades because
they pave the way for so many more sports in the future,” says Tom
Futch, Senior Vice President of SOLOS. “The SOLOS platform provides
athletes with an enhanced experience that moves beyond traditional
wearables and sensors to now provide insights, progress updates and
real-time guidance to help them achieve to their full potential.”

SOLOS is compatible with Android Wear 2.0 and a variety of BLE and ANT+
compatible running and cycling sensors, to allow athletes to use Strava,
Training Peaks and Under Armour during their rides and runs.

The new SOLOS Smart Glasses will be available in Q1 2018 for $499. Visit
