Recon has provided us with multiple updates regarding the company itself and the Recon Jet product we have been so excited about. Let’s start with the big one first – last week Recon was acquired by Intel.

While we don’t know the exact terms of the sale, we do know this means that Recon’s technology is being paired with a company that has a great deal of practice in taking new ideas and making them a reality. We have been following the development of the Recon Jet for almost two years now and have waited with bated breath to see this product become fully available. This type of acquisition can go a long way to helping that process along!

The second bit of news about the Recon Jet is the addition of ANT+ power meter support. Current Recon Jet owners can start syncing their power meter following a free software update for the Jet. With the update, the Jet can now display power data in six different modes including Instant, 3 second, 10 second, 30 second, Max, and Average.

Finally, Recon has introduced a new smart nutrition app designed to notify athlete’s when to consume food or water during a cycling or running activity in order to maximize potential and help reduce muscle catabolization and dehydration. Called “Refuel,” the app is designed specifically for the Recon Jet and considers age, weight, height, gender, altitude, distance traveled, heart rate, and either pace or speed to make individualized nutritional suggestions. It was developed collaboratively between Recon and former ultra-distance athlete and author, Brendan Brazier. Launched on June 3 from the Recon Instruments App, Refuel is free of charge for Jet users.
