Reviews over the

Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM v2

I came from Garmin and I'm not going back. Much more intuitive and accessible than Garmin. The front buttons make it easy to use on the go. Infinite configurations. 100% recommendable. Mantel's service is outstanding, very happy with the purchase.

Review compared to the Garmin 1030 plus that I also use I find the Wahoo a nicer device. Everything simple to set via buttons, and menu is much simpler. Possibilities for measurements are more extensive than with the Garmin. Simple uploading of routes. The Garmin varia radar is simpler to use than with the 1030 plus. (How to). Was scared for a while that I would miss the touchscreen, but totally not touchscreen I now even find a disadvantage, especially in bad weather. All in all a top device and good purchase

Pros & Cons

I previously had a Wahoo Elemt Bold and when choosing a new one my choice was either a Garmin 540 or Wahoo Roam V2. Because of the ease of setting up via the app etc. and while waiting for improved maps and especially pop up for climbs, I opted for the Roam V2. And also in price it was much more attractive than the Garmin

Pros & Cons

Great device with trouble-free functionality and easy handling.

Fantastic device! Does what it is supposed to do. Training is easy to analyse on the basis of the data it collects. Once you get the hang of the product it works really great!!!

Pros & Cons

Fantastic in use, occasionally exhibits strange quirks

Pros & Cons

Great for navigating, I no longer need to remember to delete maps because there is no more free memory, as was the case with the predecessor. Very easy to read screen, good contrasts and colours.

Very quick route adjustment if you take a wrong turn. The connection with the iPhone and all common route planning and fitness apps (Strava, Komoot, etc.) works great. Seems very stable.

Broken wahoo (oldie) then switched to Garmin but I found the route arrow hard to see in crowded areas and missed the App. Now back again, should have done earlier....

Pros & Cons

After having had a mio twice, this is a nicer device. Screen easy to read while driving tomorrow, navigation is also fast.

Pros & Cons

Easy installation and operation, really supper

Pros & Cons

Really super surprised at the quality of the wahoo is all these features

Handy GPS cycling navigation that reads much clearer than the Bolt.

Pros & Cons

I had the Bolt but the Roam is significantly larger and easier to read.

Pros & Cons

On-time order and delivery. Reliable stock. Convenient shipping tracking. And the products are well packaged.

Pros & Cons

Coming from Garmin, I was very apprehensive about switching to something else, including Wahoo. The few hundred km I've covered prove that it was the right choice, with very good value for money!

Pros & Cons

Fast shipping from Mantel, reasonable price. Great GPS, precise navigation with many options and top value for money.

Pros & Cons

Purchased Roam v2 to replace my ageing Wahoo Bolt v2. Very happy with the change. I can fit more data on the bigger screen and find it very easy to read. I enjoyed the Bolt very much for day to day use however when it came to navigation I found the screen was too small for my eyes! I regularly use the roam navigation feature and really enjoy it. It's great to easily see distance left in a ride, for example. Also the route to start is a great feature if you are in an unfamiliar place and want to shorten the current route. The summit feature is also very good as it shows the distance and gradients of the hill your are climbing and also approximates the time left to the top. I find this feature very useful the only drawback is it only works if you have loaded a route.

Pros & Cons

I liked the grip. The absence of a touch screen is a plus for me. I haven't yet used the navigation in unfamiliar areas.

Pros & Cons

After 3 years with Bolt, an evolution towards color and ease of use

Pros & Cons

The Wahoo impresses above all with an excellently readable screen and the excellent display of the routes in the navigation. These are the main advantages over Garmin. The battery performance is well sufficient. However, the setting via the cell phone, which is actually intended as a convenience, is a problem when the synchronization does not work. Unfortunately, this happens from time to time. What it is due to, I do not know yet. Also, the pause window should not immediately cover half the screen when you stop with the bike. Just when I stand I want to be able to read the data on the Wahoo. Also, I do not like that when interrupted rides the recording is automatically closed after a few hours. If I drive to the office in the morning and home in the evening, Wahoo forces me so always two separate records on. Overall, however, it is a very good device, with which you can especially a given route excellent track.

Pros & Cons

I have updated from elemnt v1 to elemnt roam v2. Extra waited for the renew model, am really slightly disappointed is not much better than the old model I have been using for 6 years.
