Wahoo Launches Elemnt Roam 2022 (V2) Cycling Computer

As stupid as it might sound, the change to USB-C for data and charging is the most interesting thing about the new Roam for me. Yeah, more better GPS is great, but most of the time when GPS goes wonky, it’s a silent failure. Where having to pack a separate set of cables, or clutter the charging blocks with antiquated connectors, juts to charge my bike computer is an ongoing failure. But…

Wahoo doesn’t want to let 2020 go…

And it surprised me on two counts. First that the ELEMNT is running…

Wahoo ROAMs off message

First off, the Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM looks like a nice unit. A bit bigger than the BOLT. Color(ish) support. Better (kinda) navigation than the older ELEMNTs, but that price. An aspirational $379!?! Yes, Wahoo has a better UX than Garmin, during setup/config, but it does less. A lot less. Even than the $299 Edge 530, let alone the $399 Edge 830. See, the thing is, when I review products – price is…
