About Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt V2 GPS Cycling/Bike Computer
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
77% praised for its accurate readings, while 23% experienced occasional errors
For me, the virtual/calculated watts are good enough even though they are not as accurate as a true watt meter.
I find the cycling computer easy to download routes from my phone. It understands when I start part way through the ride or if I deviate from the route for a few miles. The return to route feature works really well.
I have found that the Wahoo Element Bolt is less accurate than my spoke and magnet cycle computer, which I have set up accurately.
I noticed that the device does not have the feature to control lights via the new ANT+ lighting protocol for smart lights.
82% appreciated the long battery life, though 18% experienced quicker drain
On a typical 1 hour ride, I end up with 92% battery life remaining.
When I first got it, the battery life was around 14 hours and it doesn't seem to have decreased over time.
The battery life is acceptable but not spectacular.
Based on my first ride, the battery life is only around 10 hours, which is less than expected.
81% liked the seamless connectivity
Synchronizing rides with my favorite app such as ridewithgps or Strava is simple. After the ride, I launch the app on my phone and it uploads the ride as soon as it pairs with the head unit.
During my rides, the integration with radar system adds an extra layer of safety.
84% appreciated its durability, though 16% experienced issues in the rain
The bike computer offers valuable features.
I have switched from Garmin devices to Wahoo devices because Garmin devices did not meet my standards of longevity and quality.
86% found it easy to install
I found the matte display of this cycling computer very easy to see even without the backlight in outdoor settings.
I found that the product has great features, good battery life, and is easy to sync add on sensors.
87% found it easy to navigate, but 13% found the menu confusing
The device is easy to use with its buttons and ability to switch screens on the fly, making up for its lack of sleekness.
The top control buttons are easy to use and navigate through the display.
I like the color changes on the data and the app design, which are easy to adjust and sync routes.
The fonts and screen resolution are easy to read even under high noon sunshine and the automatic backlight is helpful in low light or under dense trees.
