Reviews over the

Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt v2

Haven't tried everything yet, what has been tested so far is fine. Can't find the total score of all rides ridden.

Pros & Cons

The Bolt v2 does a very good job and if you use a good platform for route planning (I use komoot and RideWithGPS), you have a good solution for your tours at an entry-level price. I particularly like the compact design and the ease of use (even if the app is very poorly rated, you shouldn't let that put you off). The battery life is great and you can "load" the Bolt v2 with sufficient map material. I really like the option of integrating all the major route planners. Only the GPS accuracy is sometimes a little weaker (under trees etc.), so the v3 might be better.

With wahoo great ease of use to upload routes via iPhone

Pros & Cons

It is a revision of the first ELEMNT Bolt. Its main novelty is the colour, but it also has a renewed aesthetic and a screen that better avoids sun glare. The battery life is the same (approximately 4 outings of 3 or 3.5 hours). Navigation is also done via buttons, which is much more comfortable and simpler than touchscreen computers. Its weaknesses are that, in addition to not having the ClimbPro function, you will have to buy the tether separately.

Fine navigation for this price. It is easy to read and the battery lasts quite long. On a 70 0or 80 km trip, it consumes 20%. It took some fiddling and getting used to the first few trips but once everything is clear it is very easy to use. I only find the hos coverage moderate, especially under trees. My Smartwatch and phone have no trouble with that at all. I also find that there is sometimes some 'lag' in the navigation which means the speed is not displayed correctly. Once in open areas, this is no problem at all.

Pros & Cons

Great bike computer, quickly installed and all app added. Works great during your ride. Good data on your performance. Map is too small, barely usable

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations exactly.

Pros & Cons

This is my second, the first also worked perfectly but the charging port melted after about 2 years

Pros & Cons

After 8 years of loyal service, my first Bolt finally stopped working last week (after a few malfunctions). I immediately ordered the v2. This one works similar to the first model, but has some improvements. Very user-friendly and easy to link to cycling apps. In terms of price and quality, the best bike computer in my opinion. Disadvantage is (and remains) the altimeter sensor. It deviates quite a lot from that of my cycling mates. It can be adjusted somewhat afterwards on Strava. The screen is not large, but everything is easy to read. Only when following a read route is it sometimes a bit small. But you get used to it. The size makes the computer look nice when mounted on the support (not the most important thing, but nice). Highly recommended as far as I am concerned.

Pros & Cons

Already tried 2 weeks and goes super clear direction given.

Pros & Cons

In use for a few weeks now, Purchased to replace Garmin 820 Buttons are nice with bad weather.

Pros & Cons

An upgrade from my previous Bolt. Navigating I found worked better on the v1.

Pros & Cons

First time using Wahoo and I was surprised, I have always used Garmin.

Very cool

I bought it to help with navigation which it does very well. I use my Suunto to measure the exercise.

Pros & Cons

If a small " digital illiterate" has to install something, download something, etc.. And you buy a bicycle navigation system, which has no Dutch description and you have to look it up on the Internet, you are already miles behind. If you finally find something on the Internet, you are already several hours further, as well as very frustrated. Finally got it to work, but because you still don't know exactly how it works, today it's fine and tomorrow it's not. I know I'm doing something wrong. All in all, I can put in a route via my phone, I can bike so I can ride a route. I suspect I now know 10 percent of the device and I like those pretty well. The rest will follow. Practice makes perfect.

Pros & Cons

Super product in use and lasts a long time on long routes. Disadvantage is that the new V2 does not fit into an old Element Bolt.

Pros & Cons

Very nice bike computer. Use the navigation a lot and quite an improvement over the previous version with the ability to reroute. Battery lasts very long! In the forest the current speed is not always correct.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations
