Wahoo sees big potential in two different but similar aspects there. Going forward, Wahoo sees themselves focusing heavily on RGT’s so-called Magic Roads, which allows individuals to instantly create courses/routes based on uploading a file from a real-world place. In the case of RGT, he stated specifically that the company had done impressive things despite operating on a “shoestring budget”.
He went on to say that RGT’s limited scale was largely because they “never had the marketing budget” to work from, especially in comparison to platforms like Zwift which can throw tens of millions of dollars at marketing each year.
Saying specifically that “it’s a well-designed system on Unity”, though acknowledging that the graphics aren’t necessarily there yet, but “that’s easy to fix” given the underlying structure that RGT has in place already atop Unity.

In talking with Wahoo Founder Chip Hawkins, he says they plan huge investments going forward, and noted that the core of RGT from a software development perspective is designed well. Of course, as interesting as that is, what’s more interesting here is what Wahoo plans to do with it all. So in the case of RGT users, you’ll now get all the stuff from Wahoo SYSTM, and the inverse as well. This means that subscribers of either platform now get both platforms for the same price. That account covers both software apps, and even your Wahoo ELEMNT and Wahoo Fitness apps (also, accounts). Effective today, both Wahoo SYSTM and (Wahoo) RGT accounts fall under a new Wahoo X bundled subscription service/login account. Something that’s pretty much unheard of in an acquisition announcement. So long in fact, that today’s acquisition announcement is concurrent with the ability to use a single consolidated login for both apps, immediately. Wahoo Acquisition of RGT:įirst up is the acquisition of RGT, which Wahoo says has been in the works for a long time. Just prior to announcing this acquisition, Wahoo has also non-announced a round of layoffs that impacted a number of departments in the company, from devices to apps. However, all is not good news in Camp Wahoo. Wahoo says they have continued content expansion plans for SYSTM. However, to be clear, Wahoo SYSTM (previously The Sufferfest) is not going away or being defunded.
In talking with Wahoo Founder Chip Hawkins, he says this will mark the start of a substantial growth period for RGT – not just in terms of fueling the company with much-needed cash, but also with new features that compete with Zwift – most specifically in areas that Zwift has ignored. In short, subscribers of either platform now get both platforms for the same monthly price (effective immediately). Wahoo Fitness has announced today the acquisition of the RGT Cycling app (formerly Road Grand Tours), as well as announcing their new Wahoo X Subscription Service, which combines the membership for both apps under one umbrella.
