Reviews over the

Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM

Excellent bike computer that I adopted very quickly. It's a great way to boost your cycling and avoid getting lost thanks to the GPS.

Top product

Pros & Cons

First use of a GPS (after a conventional computer). It's accurate, reliable and very useful when you don't know your route. It works great in conjunction with Strava. I also bought the sensors to complete the experience: perfect!

Bike mounts included for handlebars and stem fine

Pros & Cons

Excellent product. Lots of useful functions when you're pedalling, for pace, climbs and navigation. With regard to the latter, the indications are precise (at least on roads, I haven't tried mountain bike trails) and with the LEDs indicating bends, navigation is very easy. Used in combination with the komoot, it's a very good experience. Highly recommended

I received this particular model quickly after searching numerous sites. It's easy to fit the speedo and from the very first pedal strokes you can feel how useful it is, with its profile, speed and secure location.... I didn't know about the Mantel site and I must admit I'm pleased.

As a beginner, the bike computer help me with my bike trip specially on my long ride. I know I will always find my way home.

Pros & Cons

Proceeded to purchase after a survey on the Facebook group gravelbike Belgium, which put it forward as a favourite . I don't regret my purchase one bit. Clear gps, fantastic image in all weather conditions, compatible with Komoot and Strava . And all this for a fantastic price

Pros & Cons

The functionality and operation of the Element Roam is simple and intuitive. The display is easy to read in all lighting conditions.

Very nice computer and clear gps navigation. I had doubts if I should buy a Garmin (I already have a watch), but for the price it is a great computer

Pros & Cons

The device does what it promises and fulfills all expectations. Easy to operate buttons and good mounting material for the handlebar. highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Convenient to use. Clear. Even a digibeet can do it. Easy to attach to the bicycle.

Pros & Cons

So far very satisfied with the Wahoo elemnt roam. Nice compact model, but still easy to read. Easy to set up with the Elemnt app on your mobile. The 2 included mounts can be mounted on different bikes, like mine on road bike and MTB. Quick alternative route when leaving the read route. On the device itself no possibility to create routes, but navigate to a point. Reading routes (gpx) is very easy via Bluetooth and mobile.

Pros & Cons

Easy, nice image, convenient app

Pros & Cons

Easy, nice image, convenient app

Pros & Cons

This cyclocomputer has everything you need. I did not connect any sensor yet but I am very happy with how it communicates with Strava and Komoot, making it very easy to follow you planned routes and to record/share them once completed

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with this gps, never taken another model before

Pros & Cons

After a few weeks of use, I don't regret my purchase. Much simpler than some other GPS units on the market. The only downside is that you can't choose activities other than cycling.

Pros & Cons

Ideal that you can use the app to set up the Elemnt. Routes uploaded or created from history no problem. Pairing with my Kickr is automatic. On a muddy ride noticed how convenient it is to wipe your screen clean without being in the controls (my previous one had touchscreen). Screen size is large enough to see the route well without the device getting in the way.

Pros & Cons

Best purchase in recent years. Clear readable screen even in bright sunshine. Directions very easy to follow. You have to be a real moron to drive wrong with this GPS. And if you go wrong, it gives a clear signal so you can recover immediately. Self-synchronizes all routes with Strava.

Pros & Cons

Had the predecessor, was already very satisfied, the new Element Roam has become much better. I can only warmly recommend him to everyone. Mantle as a shipping supplier lonely top, delivery has never been as fast as with you, full marks. Thank you Best regards Uli

Pros & Cons

Could start after little familiarization time with the device. Had previously my cell phone incl. Koomot as Navi. Ask me now why I have held out so long. Makes more fun again!

Pros & Cons

A fine comprehensive bike navigation. Via komoot you can easily find routes, which you can transfer to your bike computer via the elemnt app! So that you always cycle different routes.

Pros & Cons

several weeks in use now , before that I used the wahoo elemnt bolt . This Roam has better gps qualities so it does not lose its signal in the woods , battery lasts long , despite a color screen and more options than the Bolt , pleasantly surprised . Very satisfied customer , also thanks to the good service of Mantel , top!

Pros & Cons

Over a year and more than 5,000 km in use and very satisfied. Pairing with almost any sensor is possible. I myself use Assioma power pedals and an NC-17 cadence/speed sensor on the swingarm with spoke magnet. NC-17 works more reliably than sensors from Wahoo for on the wheel axle and crank. Operation of ROAM is logical and with real buttons. I like it much better than having to aim at a touch screen while riding. Screen is easy to read in full sunlight and letters are large enough (readable without my +1.0 reading glasses). Setting up the many options is easy via your mobile phone (I use iPhone myself) and so is updating firmware and maps. Synchronizing training and routes is fully automatic. I myself mainly use (paid version of) Komoot and Strava. Navigating a route is fine, sometimes you have to zoom in and follow the directions. Make sure you have up-to-date maps. Integration with Wahoo Kickr (indoor direct drive bike trainer) is excellent, so you can relive your routes if you can't or don't want to bike outside. Screen size is a compromise between compact size, amount of info on screen and readability. I find the same a successful compromise and can recommend the ROAM to anyone.

Pros & Cons

After a full year of use, still very satisfied with this navigation/cycling computer. You can adjust all settings and fields particularly easily with the accompanying app to your liking and very easily load GPX routes. I am particularly impressed with the excellent service provided by Wahoo. When the computer was badly damaged in a crash and I inquired whether it could be repaired, I was offered a new one by Wahoo without even asking. Many thanks for that Wahoo.

Pros & Cons

What a top-notch device! Everything you could possibly need is in there. No fuss, just bright and clear. Navigation is super easy and the accompanying app is also easy to understand.

Pros & Cons

Finally a navigation that is easy to use. Now I can go out on my own! Both on foot and by bike.

Pros & Cons

Great bike computer with navigation meets my expectations.

Pros & Cons

Wonderful navigation! Should have moved away from Garmin much earlier after many frustrated rides.

Pros & Cons

Drive without sensors, but still the LEDs are useful. ~100 meters before turns they flash which way to go. Screen is always clear to read, battery lasts sun 15 hours with navigation. Syncing with kahoot is easy, can directly start planned route on device without opening wahoo app.

Pros & Cons

I am a true Wahooligan. Fan of the compact devices and all the data you can get out of them. Navigating is perfect. At first the re-routing of the routes did not work properly, it turns out that you always have to update the maps first (inquired at Wahoo Service, responded quickly). You should know this, and besides: you then have to remove maps first (North America, Australia, not really necessary) before you can update, otherwise you don't have enough space. Top device! Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Works great with strava and my wahoo Kickr core

Only a week in use, so still some discovering to do in all functions, because there are quite a few! User-friendliness is fine (Garmin could learn a thing or two from it), especially through the cooperation with the app on phone (iPhone in my case). Pairing with sensors is easy and automatic the next time. Heart rate monitor, power pedals and speed sensor: all no problem. Ant+ and BLE sensors can be used interchangeably. Updating firmware and maps via wifi goes smoothly, as does uploading ride info to Strava and Cycle Analitics, among others. Screen readability is good, despite not being very large. Color screen is a stretch for Wahoo: it is used very (too) sparingly. But in itself, the black and white info is very readable, even in the dark due to backlighting. Battery life seems fine. Push buttons on both sides take some getting used to, as hardly any pressure point can be felt. In short: an excellent product and well worth its money.

Pros & Cons

I use the Wahoo Elemnt Roam in addition to a Garmin Edge1030. For serious training planning/help the Garmin is better and it has a larger touch display with higher resolution. Other than this, this Wahoo is at least on par and for many people even better. Personally, I find the navigation better/clearer, pairing with your phone is of a different order and the lack of software hassles I find a relief.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I have been using the wahoo ELEMNT roam for about 2 months now and am very satisfied with it. In the beginning I had some trouble downloading routes- installing the app the wahoo supports did go super fast. Now downloading routes as a gps file is done in no time. The screen of the elemnt is easy to read and also adjustable ( 100 m to 5 km route visible). I find the colors a bit disappointing, but the system with yellow main roads, gray shading of bike paths and the arrows for the route to ride and black line for driven route is clear. I am satisfied with this purchase and find the device more user friendly than my previous navigation ( different brand , about the same price range)

Top device, easy installation, good navigation and recalculate if you cycle wrong. Battery lasts nice and long too.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I rode with Garmin for years and never wanted to try anything else, but due to the ever decreasing quality, due to the navi software that is driving me crazier and crazier, and especially due to Garmin's service that has become downright abysmal, I decided to try something else anyway. I have now ridden the Wahoo a few times, and all I can say is that I should have made the switch much earlier....

Pros & Cons

Am novice cyclist and still know few routes, thanks element i.c.m. bike app makes it easy to get a start. Turn by turn sounds ideal but I have noticed that I try to get back on the route quickly, quickly makes more kilometers if I don't. Other than that, the ELEMNT is very user friendly and clear to read.

Pros & Cons

good screen easy to use fast data processing takes a long time to find satellites

Pros & Cons

Gps purchased for a 2 year bike trip. Definitely not a must, but so convenient in terms of battery life. The deciding factor in choosing Wahoo were the many reviews that highlighted the ease of use and I can agree, very easy!!! I myself am extremely bad with smartphone, technology etc but this is really child's play. We mainly use komoot and loading the routes to the Wahoo is very quick and easy. The display on the screen is fine, although the color screen is not an extra in my eyes. However, the effective navigation if you deviate from the route is very handy. The GPS has to search a bit, but it works fine. The buttons are very handy and the touchscreen is certainly not a loss, but I would never recommend it. For me it was a lot of money in terms of purchase, but already worth double and I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. To give one more picture in vglance with Garmin 520, which I borrowed briefly from a friend, the Garmin gives a lot more details and possibilities, but the Wahoo is so much easier to use and probably for 9/10 users more than enough anyway if you're just recreational cycling.

Pros & Cons

Finally made the move to Wahoo after years with Garmin. This is a fantastic computer and so easy to use. Physical buttons make so much more sense that touchscreen for me. Excellent price from Mantel too

Pros & Cons

Had a Bolt before but need it more navigation tools e.g. rerouting. The new screen is super sharp, way better quality than Garmins.
