MTB Downhill Modus

[minimark069]

i just pause my watch on the uplift

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

I use this mode constantly and works. You get downhill distance laps etc. But the total distance still counts.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Which mode do you use?

@Kaiphi
I was also hoping to find for this Downhill MTB mode. Since not finding such I tried to make a custon sportsmode for this by imitating the snowboarding mode and choosing the same data fields like max lap speed, distance and total downhill distance.

You can make autolaps by using the Loop-feature (SuuntoPlus). Of course it does not work the same way as the snowboarding/skiing mode but you can count laps automatically. Thoug it works only if there is one lift that you always use. Just start the excercise at/near the lift station.

@Jounaz89
Thank you for your tip. I will try it next time. But I think the variant from @minimark069 is best if you use many different lifts during the day.

I use pause. It works fine. If you don’t forget to press pause or resume

[Jounaz89]

@Kaiphi
With that Loop-feature you can also start New Lap manually by pressing the lower button. Then it makes new lap again automatically when reaching that new point again. So start lap manually if taking a different lift back up

Hi all -> Mountainbiking -> downhill its there

[Kaiphi]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos That sounds like great news. Do you have any more information? When I compare the cycling and mountain biking sport modes, I don’t see any difference.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Ah, ok. I thought you were already using the MTB Downhill profile?!?

Actually there are three MTB profiles to choose from: Trail, Enduro and Downhill.
Which one were you using?

[Mi_chael]

@Egika

For trail profile, i never see lap after downhill.

Perhaps, it will great if Suunto add this feature for all MTB profile.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Mi_chael use the downhill profile ?

[Mi_chael]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Yes, of course. It’ an easy solution.
I don’t know why i never thinking before !!

[Kaiphi]

@Egika Oh man I didn’t know about this submenu. I created a profile for normal cycling and one for mountain biking. Can I personalize a downhill mode? I can only select mountain biking. How does enduro differ from downhill or cycling?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Kaiphi you cannot personalize unfortunately the downhill mode.

The other modes are just prepersonlized and downhill differs as it has automatic lap detection

[Kaiphi]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thank you for the explanation. I’ll try the different modes next time. I’m not sure yet if it’s what I wanted.
