| Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR GPS Watch |
We had the chance to try on the just announced Spartan Sport Wrist HR at the Salomon/Suunto booth. Featuring Suunto's intuitive new interface first seen in the Spartan Ultra which combines glove compatible buttons for in workout operation and a color touch screen for rapid access to the multitude of screens when used as a daily watch of during workouts. Wrist HR is Suunto's first... wrist based GPS/HR watch.
Suunto partnered with Valancell, well known for its highly accurate optical heart rate sensing. Suunto's testing indicates its accuracy will be within 5% of chest strap heart rate units.
Similar to the Spartan Ultra but without barometric altimeter so less mountain focused than the Ultra the Sport is targeted at multi-sport athletes. It will have a real time recovery monitoring screen and of course access to the excellent Movescount app. We hope Suunto will add sleep monitoring and 24/7 heart rate monitoring trends as the platform evolves
We look forward to testing it soon.
Available this spring. $649.

Salomon Sense Ride
The trail Sense Ride was featured by Salomon as the key shoe for fall 2017. And for good reason we think. At 9.7 oz/275 g men's 9; 8.1 oz/230 g women's 8, well priced at $120 it is loaded with features and should become a stalwart trail runner for all sorts of terrain. Available Fall 2017.
- A decoupled rock plate for more flexibility
- Premium WET Traction Contagrip outsole, outstanding on wet rock. (see our article here)
- a more relaxed fit than typical of Salomon trail runners
- Salomon's effective new Vibe tibial vibration reduction tech is on board. In the Ride the full length of the shoe as an insert in the Energy Cell+ EVA sitting below the sock liner. We recently tested and loved in the Ride's road cousin the Sonic (see Sonic review and explanation of Vibe here)

Snowcross 2 CSWP
12.8 oz/362 g. $200. Available Fall 2017.
The Snowcross 2 takes the legendary Speedcross, water proofs it with ClimaSalomon membrane and adds a high top. We thought it was a more flexible and runnable winter alternative to the high mountain XA-Alpine (review here) with the added bonus of the waterproofing.
