Which would you rather have, the BOLT or the ROAM? Let us know in the comments below!👇

@wildsurfer12 Год назад

I’ve got the 2nd generation bolt and it works a treat. Still need to get a hang of the syncing with the apps though.

@logan587 Год назад

I'd stick with the smaller device, personally. However since I want to use my cycling computer on multiple bikes, the trail forks integration in the Garmin 530 is too important to switch to wahoo. I also am fine giving up a bit of a better UI experience for the extra customization in the Garmin ecosystem.

@mithral999 Год назад

I have the bolt 1st gen which is very simple to use, I love the wifi connection that uploads when I get home without having to connect to my phone. The Roam is going on the list for Santa.

@_Zane__ Год назад

I'd be happy with both

@melvin131 Год назад

@KevinBE87 Год назад

Here's an idea for a function of the compass: when standing still, or starting a ride, make the map point in the direction your wahoo (and this your bike) is pointing. No more riding 20 metres only to find out it's the other direction your supposed to go...

@jackzagorski7897 Год назад

Good idea. Do it Wahoo!!

@idlemindoftim Год назад

Came here to say this! This is the most annoying thing about the current generation of Wahoo devices. You can wiggle your handlebars all day long but the map doesn’t rotate. To help in that first few minutes off the train wondering how to get on the start of the route would be perfect.

@stevek8829 Год назад

How many GPS units have a magnetic compass? I've never had one in 21 years of GPSing.

@JanHolgerOlof Год назад

Or, if paired with a speed sensor on your wheel, it could make off-the-grid navigation possible. Should the comrate shoot the gps satellites or something :P

@LiquidTomatoo Год назад

That's exactly what I want, my bolt made me mad every time when I want to check my route and the map is pointing in the wrong direction, I bet EVERY SINGLE BOLT USER has experienced this sh1t.

@paulskinner599 Год назад

I had a Bolt V1 and it was honestly all the GPS I needed after being frustrated with the complexity of Garmin. Tried a Roam v1 and although I never thought I needed a bigger screen and better mapping I really appreciated it so much that I upgraded to one. This computer is definitely a evolution and they seem to have fixed the small issues, like the buttons. Still all the GPS that most riders would ever need and far far simpler to setup and use than other brands. Good price too

@briansteel3781 Год назад

I've had both and I think that the larger roam is better due to my failing eyesight ! I think that wahoo could have made the screen a bit larger as there's quite a bit of border to it, they may have missed a trick there.

@danielakerman8241 Год назад

The screen on the Roam ISN'T a whole lot bigger than the Bolt screen, because the bevels around the screen are huge. The usable screen area is 320x240 on the Bolt vs 400x240 on the Roam. Same exact width -- just a bit more height.

@cappaculla Год назад

They are called bezels

@danielakerman8241 Год назад

@@cappaculla lol thanks for taking the time to correct my spelling.

@lurppah75 Год назад

One idea more for using compass. Wahoo app gets current weather and wind speed / direction from a global forecast service. Then unit uses compass and calculates windspeed and direction compared to your cycling direction (and perhaps also a speed). So you can easily see when riding against the wind or enjoying tailwind (or fighting with crosswind).

@bobfoster687 Год назад

If you need a computer to tell you if you are riding into or against the wind, you have a problem!!!

@johngannon1 Год назад

I have a bolt and I wouldn’t change. I love the compact form factor. I think it’s hands down all you need and I managed to get a Wahoo bundle at a great price earlier this year. I ride in the country so the dual band GPD isn’t a feature I need either.

@paulwalker6153 Год назад

I'm super happy with my Roam, after having the Elemnt for a few years. It retains a larger screen without it being toooo big, it's "find route" and "re-routing" feature is excellent. Perfect for on and off-road riding.

@Aureas133 Год назад

The bezels make it look like an old cheap gameboy knock-off

@tofadeisastart Год назад

Exactly what I thought. Why is the border so thick. I could understand if it as a solar charging gps

@nickdalamagas3540 Год назад

Totally agree. The thick bezel make the wahoo device look old & outdated .. Unfortunately Wahoo are constantly a few steps behind their competitors for tech updates & design .. sad but true!

@rodneyeason4682 Год назад

I have the Bolt and really like it, especially when hearing from friends in my riding group about their Garmin problems. I would love to see more integration with Apple Health and Fitness and a UI more like iOS than an LCD display. I would love to try the bigger screen of the Roam, though.

@BagMan963 Год назад

Is it just me or is the new Summit Segments just like Garmins ClimbPro feature which has been out for a while?

@TheLawyerInLycra Год назад

That's exactly what it is - and Garmin released ClimbPro in April 2019.

@kidShibuya Год назад

Wow, they have almost caught up to 2008 phones. Really impressive.

@jimhansen5395 Год назад

All GPS head units are superior to any phone in any meaningful way for the features that matter. Phone GPS are crap, phone apps don't support connected sensors, and the battery life is a small percentage of what a GPS head unit gives (with the screen on).

@kidShibuya Год назад

@@jimhansen5395 would like to see you back that up. Phone GPS are usually vastly superior, my phones have supported dual band GPS for decades now. Plus the battery life is a lot better if only using the phone as a GPS. They have huge batteries, efficient CPUs and if you have an OLED screen use near zero power displaying the map.

@emze563 Год назад

right, i fail to see the appeal at all, 64 colours on a screen is a note-worthy feature on a 2022 screen?

@jimhansen5395 Год назад

@emze563 Год назад

@@jimhansen5395 I've never struggled with battery life on my phone, and no unit cost since everyone's got a phone anyway. That wahoo screen is something I'd expect from 1950s device. This device is only for hardcore enthusiasts who run out of phone battery on their 250 mile rides

@georgeforeman89 Год назад

I realize this is an ad and not a review, but I'm confused why they didn't include a roam vs roam 2.0 comparison. Maybe GCN will do that in the review? Makes me think there may not be all too much different other than storage (which would be nice). I just got my Roam in June and I love it. I'm glad I'm not missing out on too much with the newer version. However, usb-c would have been a nice feature.

@fabios2611 Год назад

My worry is if I buy the new model it might last longer? I have a Mio Cyclo 305. I can update it anymore and neither use it

@thwaka82 Год назад

@b2284 Год назад

That's how I felt after I purchased a black and white bolt only to have the new color one come out months later. Also my side buttons are starting to fall off but want to wait in case they release a v3 bolt soon that has sold of these features like the blood glucose since I am diabetic that would be nice. Only recently started being able to see it on my phone so that's still a huge improvement over years back

@paulastin944 Год назад

The Roam is an excellent GPS device, I had a Bolt but unfortunately it was attatched to my Bianchi the day that was stolen. I realised there was only £50 difference for the Roam when I came to get a new GPS device, a fairly easy decision to upgrade right there! Both were faultless but I do prefer the bigger screen.

@BikePappyToo Год назад

I've been using the original ROAM for a couple of years and it has performed well. No issues at all. One thing that bothers me though, is that they don't include the safety tether in the box. For the amount of money that these units are costing, you'd think that they could throw in a little piece of string and a tiny screw.

@stevefraser7501 Год назад

& make it easy to screw the tether in by making the hole threaded.

@fionahunt8530 Год назад

Fascinated to learn that you can pair a Libre sensor with it to see your blood glucose level. Can you do this on the Bolt 2.0? As a type 1 diabetic this would be so useful. I used to use Libre sensors but now use Medtronic G3 sensors as they speak to my insulin pump. Wonder if they could be paired with Bolt 2 or Roam 2??

A few months ago I decided to get the Bolt V2 versus the Roam due to memory and color(s). But eye-sight is an issue, my sunglasses have a prescription on them but for looking far, making the head unit hard to read. So the new Roam may end up on my birthday wish list!

@ralph3384 Год назад

@jvogel431 Год назад

I had both the Bolt and the Roam. The one major flaw with Wahoo is in their map displays. They do not include street names on the map. So, when you are navigating without an active route for turn-by-turn directions, you can’t look at the map to find a familiar street name. It annoyed me so much that I switched back to a garmin 830. It is awesome and I love the touch screen.

@Ace2d Год назад

This is specifically the reason why I changed from Wahoo to Hammerhead. Dispite the Karoo2 not having a companion app. Its way easier to use when I am riding because of the touch screen and navigation is excellent.

@TheVorst Год назад

I sold my Garmin 1030 last year and bought the Bolt V2. The Garmin is soo complicated to use and set it up. I couldn't sync a new route onto the unit or modify the route when I had no WIFI. With the Wahoo you can adjust the route with your phone and bang you continue on the revised route. With the Garmin you should be able to communicate with bluetooth, but it doesn't work 50% of the time. Also the display of the Wahoo is soo much better in the sunlight. The screen from the Wahoo has no reflection at all, the Garmin 1030 was sometimes not readable at all.

@252Scooby Год назад

So I’m on the old bolt & an upgrade is due so what should I go for the bolt v2 at £235 or the roam v1 for £170 ? Pro cons for both, the many colours and climb feature on the new boot looks good but the roam is cheaper and larger screen 🤔

@_________4292 Год назад

if this is for long distance bike computer, they should add dedicated battery charged by waterproof connection & solar charging and touch screen for map viewing.

I have a roam and a boltv2. They're both fine. The real problem with them is that they have plastic tabs that break on the mount. The mount should be the point of failure, not the tabs and you shouldn't have to buy a third party dogear solution to fix them. Wahoo fixed my roam but I had to buy a boltv2 to cover some races.

@esenel92 Год назад

Weird question maybe, but I bet the folks at GCN have all the big brands of bike computers around the office. Would it be possible to do a video (or article) with a comparison of functionality when you use them: "stand alone" (no PC/smartphone connection), "no external applications" (no smartphone app or PC software, just USB storage to pull/push files to the device) "no account" (so smartphone apps or applications on PC are allowed but no account needed), and full "I'll install apps/software and sign up & link all my accounts to get stuff functioning" mode Reason being that I'm currently on an 10 yr old device, for which there are (obviously) no android/IOS apps, and as I don't run windows (their software doesn't work on windows 10/11 anyway afaik) so back in the day I had to write my own tool to analyze the memory when it's connected through USB and get actual route data off the device. And while that's still working, I would like to have a device that actually allows me to navigate, without having to jump through hoops, and just have the ability to copy gpx files from and to the device, and install map/firmware updates through the device itself. It would be interesting to see which devices are still (mostly) usable without their proprietary software, and to see what devices will actually keep working if the company behind it ever decides to shut their servers down or no support apps anymore. And for folks like me, a rating for ease of battery replacement for each brand/device would be a nice bonus 😁

@esenel92 Год назад

@@sabamacx Actually I've asked a few parties to do it, but most (that responded to it) came back with that they don't have the knowlegde or funding (and access to hardware) to actually test (or request that info from manufacturers) to get a reasonable amount of devices included. It's a hard topic to make a video about I think, but even if you don't want to do pure stats, video's you can include most of this info in future video's when new products like this come out, by just coming up with some basic uses like navigation, logging, external sensor data gathering etc and displaying a simple table showing which of those things work with just the device and a generic computer without wahoo/garmin etc software and which of those things will be limited or not usable without that software. I'm just throwing something out there, and it doesn't have to be done in exactly that format. But pointing them towards info that some people might consider interesting when they're buying a 200-600 euro device won't do harm. (I hope 😁)

@stilerone Год назад

Whilst sponsored by Wahoo and producing these informercials on their behalf, GCN cannot provide an unbiased comparison of bike computers across multiple manufacturers.

@esenel92 Год назад

@@stilerone it's basically summing up facts that anyone can check on their device, so any bias or non truths would probably get called out by owners of the devices right away. It's not like performance comparisons that you can cherry pick. Can you get gpx files from it like it's an USB storage device Y/N Can you copy routes to the device without external software? Y/N Can sensors be paired and data retrieved in an non proprietary format without external software Y/N Can map/firmware updates be installed without external software. Y/N Not really info that you can give biased info about imho. Only thing might be defining navigation in a part a and b for importing routes through usb storage and gpx files, and selecting a point on the map to navigate to on the device itself as those serve different purposes, but I think that with them and some community input you could come up with basic functionality in a table to show on screen while talking about the device. It's not that much work to make some simple points like that a standard thing for those devices.

Well then use your iPhone, see how long the battery lasts

What is a Roam 1.0 worth as trade-in for a Roam 2.0?

@dogukantosun5547 Год назад

Almost nothing new compare to the old version. Even aesthetically the same. I ll use my old roam for another 4 years :)

Im still on my polar cs500 😅

@iainmcdutube Год назад

As a long term Wahoo user, I was really looking forwards to pulling the trigger and getting a new Roam to replace my old ELEMNT work-horse. But after this "new" release..! Seriously is that it..? Sorry Wahoo - the Karoo 2 just looks and feels like a much better proposition for the same money.

@stevefraser7501 Год назад

Gutted. I held out for the Roam v2 for nearly 12 months until I couldnt resist and bought the original one only 4 months ago. Wish companies like Wahoo, Garmin etc would do some sort of trade in / upgrade scheme.

@UncleMike6653 Год назад

Pretty sure the hammerhead karoo 2 still allows trade in at your local sram dealership.

A gyroscope could measure road tilt

Good thing I just bought the v1 about a month ago……

@mykneegrow2819 Год назад

I’d pick neither and use my phone on a quadlock mount because you need your phone anyway and your phone does way more. Take AirPods too so when I’m riding I can change what I’m listening to or view Strava or whatever I want on my phone screen

@forksarefree Год назад

Same! Why get a dedicated head unit for your bike when we've already got phones with more functionality?

@RoninCycling Год назад

Suddenly the Wahoo Roam that I have had for three-years seems inadequate.

Someday, there will be a mapping bike computer that will mark roads that aren't acceptable for bike riding. Who wants to ride on a four-lane road, with no shoulder, that has a 100 kph speed limit?

@ronbyrne6847 24 дня назад

How do you delete routes that you no longer need.

@salzhaltigersalzhaufen586 Год назад

Well a compas could be cool if you got lost on a bike ride and your bike computer cant change the route for you it might just say head north to get back on track and maybe just shows you a compas so you now where to go Just had some struggle with this on a bike packing trip after an overnighter in the woods because I went a little further then my end/start point to find a nice place for the night and my phone (I dont have a bike computer at the moment) just told me to head west to get to the starting point so yeah maybe thats an aplictaion where this could be used even though it is rather simple. Well relating to my bikepacking adventures etc. I guess I would go for the roam even though I like to ride for performance but I wont buy two headunits if I only have an entry level road bike (trek domane al2 disc not the fastest but I still somke most people out on the road cuz they are just damn fucking slow lol)

In other words, this brand of gizmo only works in conjunction with one's phone? A deal breaker for me. Thanks, now I know.

Considering all the other computers out with larger displays, it’s a bit disappointing, but to each his/her own.

@shaunbyrne9553 Год назад

You didn’t talk about battery life… or I didn’t hear it. Wahoo says you can get 17 hours on the roam, but I was on a long ride and it died far from home. Luckily I had a usb battery. They should have extended the battery life instead of adding unused hardware.😮

@kenoneill6133 Год назад

Sounds lime a really lazy device to me, nothing innovative, all the features described are already on garmin and hammerhead units. Hopefully the sponsorship pays a few bills. Imho sounds very underwhelming
