Wahoo Elemnt Roam v3 Review: Very good, with only a few minor gripes

Wahoo has been slowly nibbling away at Garmin’s market share of the best bike computers for some years now, to the point that – in my own experience at least – I see just as many Wahoos as I do Garmins out on the road and the trails, maybe even tipping the other way with more from Wahoo. In any case, it’s a well-established player in the market, but this year has really shaken up its line of computers, first with the giant Wahoo Elemnt Ace, and recently with a concurrent launch of a new V3 of both the small, race-oriented Elemnt Bolt, and the more adventure-adjacent Elemnt Roam.

These new computers haven’t just been a case of new hardware, as all three integrate not with the existing Elemnt app, but the general-purpose Wahoo app, bringing the computers into the fold to go along with training plans, workouts, routes, and smart trainers.
