According to the product specialist
Pros
| The Roam 3 includes ANT+, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity for easy pairing with sensors and smartphones. |
| The 2.8 inch bright colour display with Gorilla Glass is very clear, even in the sun. |
| Using the built-in speaker, this cycling computer also features a bell function. |
| The Roam 3 is easy to operate both via buttons and a touchscreen. |
| The screen is clearly readable no matter the circumstances due to the automatically adjusting backlight. |
| The Hammerhead Karoo connects to the internet via wifi, a mobile hotspot or by connecting to the Companion App. |
| Know in advance when you're nearing a climb with the special climb function, which provides information about length, gradient and duration. |
| The clear, extensive Workout Player makes training easier and more efficient. |
| The Karoo can connect to smart lights, radars, power meters, heart rate monitors, eBikes and even SRAM AXS components. |
| The ELEMNT Ace has a large, clear colour display that is clearly legible in all light conditions. |
| Innovative wind sensor for real-time aerodynamic insights and optimal performance. |
| Advanced navigation with audio turn-by-turn guidance and improved map display. |
| Intuitive touchscreen controls, physical buttons and synchronisation with the new Wahoo app for your phone. |
Cons
| A heart rate belt, speed or cadence sensor is not included as standard. |
| The Roam 3 is heavier than its predecessor. |
| The Hammerhead Karoo requires recharging after about 15 hours of use. |
| The Karoo can be paired with your SRAM AXS group, but not with Shimano Di2. |
| The large screen makes this device less compact than the ELEMNT Bolt or the ELEMNT Roam, for example. |
| Note: To mount the Wahoo ELEMNT Ace on your handlebar, you need at least 6.8 cm of clearance between the edge of the handlebar and the center of the mount, see photo. |
