Wahoo Elemnt Roam v2: The Bolt, but bigger

One of the most important pieces of gear a cyclist has is their bike computer. For some people, it’s the navigation that’s important and the bike computer becomes a gateway to adventures. For others, the route is always the same and long since memorised but every ride is a new opportunity to train, from which the metrics and sensors tell a story that gets dissected and analysed later. There are also lots of people who look for a mix depending on their needs. Sometimes the metrics help with pacing, and sometimes they get ignored, while sometimes the navigation means riding places they’ve never been and sometimes it gets ignored. Whatever your need, we have options on our list of the best bike computers to cater to every price point and need. 

If you spend time studying that list, one thing you will find is that there are three major bike computer companies. Wahoo is a brand that finds itself in that top tier as one of the most well-known and widely used bike computers. Each time they release an update it makes a big splash in the market and they’ve just released a big one: the Wahoo Elemnt Roam v2, which is their most feature-rich, and most expensive bike computer to date. 

At one time the original Wahoo Elemnt was the most groundbreaking bike computer available for sale. Seven years later, the Wahoo Roam v2 is the latest successor and we have had a chance to see what it’s like to use. If you are considering a first bike computer, or a new bike computer, keep reading to see if the Wahoo Roam v2 is a bike computer that makes sense for you.
