Wahoo Fitness ELEMNT ROAM

The new bike computer from Wahoo Fitness.
Similar to the ELEMNT Bolt, but even better!
First of all, what has remained the same compared to the very popular ELEMNT Bolt:

- The same possibilities with regard to connection to other sensors such as heart rate monitors, power meters, etc.
- The same aerodynamic design as the ELEMNT Bolt. Just a little bit bigger
- The same easy accessibility as the ELEMNT Bolt through the Wahoo ELEMNT app. So set screen, provide values, upload routes, newest firmware .... etc.

What's new about the Wahoo ELEMNT Roam?

The following is new:

Gorilla glass screen ELEMNT Roam

The ELEMNT Roam has a larger screen (2.7 ") than the ELEMNT Bolt. And the screen is from Gorillaglass, the same as many smartphones are equipped with.
Now that we have the comparison with smartphones; The ELEMNT Roam has the screen flat with the top, not deepened like the ELEMNT Bolt and the ELEMNT. The LCD screen is also glued to the glass, which reduces the chance of mirroring and increases clarity. No touchscreen by the way.

Many improvements compared to the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt are in the navigation options:

- Route-to-start option. Imagine agreeing to cycle a certain route with a group. This option gives you navigation to the starting point of that route.

- Back-to-Track option

- Back-to-Start option

- Saved-locations option

- Extra zoom options on the routes

Wahoo ELEMNT Roam and Aerodynamics

The ELEMNT Roam is a huge improvement on the bike computers, it has a very aerodynamic shape so that you can eliminate even more resistance. The mount has an integrated mount that allows the headwind to fly tightly past the ELEMNT Roam. Compared to its competitor, the ELEMNT Roam reduces headwinds by at least 50%!


The ELEMNT Roam has been specially designed for a tilt of 6% in order to eliminate air resistance even better.

Wahoo ELEMNT Roam in use

Just like the original ELEMNT Bolt, the ELEMNT Roam is simple to install via your phone, the app allows you to scan the code and your ELEMNT Roam is linked to your Smartphone. Through your phone you can enter all your screens as you wish, so the ELEMNT Roam can give you directions, give your phone notifications, show the heart rate or wattage or show the Strava Segments so that you know when you can start popping!

The ELEMNT is well-arranged and you can show multiple values ​​on the screen, which is colored black and white for extra clarity. It is possible to vary the screens from 2 to 8 values ​​to keep track of your entire ride.

Below the screen of the ELEMNT Roam there are three 'smart buttons', easily pressed buttons that help you to navigate through your pages quickly.
