Fails to connect to GPS

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I have only had the Element Bolt for one year and it no longer connects to GPS. The unit is nice from a user perspective except that the most important feature no longer works after one year. I had a Garmin unit for 9 years and it worked great the entire time. I would not recommend this product.

Elemnt Bolt for dummies

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

First time using any kind of bike computer for me, had very basic needs and the Bolt met all of them. Setup was a breeze, took maybe 10min tops. Take it out of the box, download the app, follow directions on there, so simple. Included 31.8mm bar clamp out front mount fit great no issues there. Only used it for road rides so far, but seems like it does everything you'd need it to. I went out for a couple rides just taking random turns and following the map. Map seems to show roads that are good to ride a bike on in yellow, and others in white. Not sure if this was just a coincidence? Or if there is some kind of coding for roads with a bike lane/ shoulder. But following the yellow line kept me comfortable. Maps were very detailed and accurate for my area. Flipping between the different pages was fun, I kept it on the map mostly so I was at least a little surprised on stats when my ride ended. But a more data oriented person would really benefit from all the constant tracking. That being said I did not connect it to any heart rate monitors or power meters, but poking around the app it seems like that would also be super easy to set up and view data. Strava uploading was super easy and quick. No complaints there. Screen seems kind of small? Not necessarily a bad thing you could see everything just fine but on the main data page you could probably see a bit better on a larger screen (Elemnt Roam) Also took ~30 seconds to boot up when you turn it on not instant. Not really a big deal just turn it on before you put your shoes on and you'll be ready to go. Overall, works great if you want to constantly be seeing your data while riding. Being able to keep the phone at home and still map/ track Strava is convenient too!

SO INSANELY HAPPY WITH THIS

Familiarity:

So insanely happy with this purchase. Loading routes is a synch, syncing all the sensors was painless. Has great turn by turn notifications. I feel more confident checking out new routes in my area and exploring other areas as well. So happy with this purchase!

Easy to use

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Had the chance to test this, but don't own one. It was really easy to set up. I don't usually record my rides, or use a computer, but now I'm tempted to buy a Wahoo computer. It was really accurate on the auto pause feature, but occasionally when I got really slow on a steep climb it did think I stopped. This is probably more me than the computer though. The LED lights are really cool. They made me want to push myself into the red zone, work a little harder than normal. Cool product would recommend.

Exceeds Expectations

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

The Bolt was really easy to set up initially, and get riding. I do a lot of riding without tracking, or navigating, even though I have a wearable from another manufacturer. The display screen is surprisingly motivating. This computer encourages me to push the pace based on my heart rate, or prior efforts. I'm not using a power, or cadence sensor right now, but I imagine the display for those would be even more motivating. The LED lights add an awesome readable metric. I have used this to navigate as well. Zoomed in, it is very easy to maintain the correct navigation. It's also really easy to zoom out in real time, on the bike. Navigating between pages while on the bike is really easy in general. Battery life has been really good. Ease of use, and pleasant interface with the app are the biggest takeaways for me with this product. It was an enjoyable experience right out of the box. I didn't think I needed this computer, but now I love having it. This would make an excellent gift if you don't know what to buy for a cyclist.

I have had this computer for a good while now, and after trying Garmin, Bryton, and other computers, I’ve decided that Wahoo has the best cycling computers to offer! It has a very user-friendly interface, making it easy to connect to your phone to upload rides to mobile apps, and it gives several stats as you are riding such as riding time, speed, distance, elevation, and more. This bike computer can also connect to a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor, power meter, and even your AXS drivetrain to give you even deeper feedback of your riding. Not only that, you can upload workout plans from apps such as TrainerRoad, so that you can follow your workout right from your bike computer! Another cool feature that I love about this computer is the LED bar at the top of the computer. This can be used to tell you what HR zone, power zone, or speed range you are in, so you can get an idea of your riding with just a quick glance! The LED’s will light up in different quantities and colors depending on what zone you are in, so that you don’t have to look down and try to read your data while you’re pedaling hard! This computer holds up against the most brutal riding weather, and I’ve been able to use this computer in all sorts of ride conditions. Everything from a recovery cruise around the neighborhood, to a 12+ hour day in the saddle! This computer’s been able to handle it all, continuing to give me accurate live analyses and helpful feedback. This computer has been perfect for my needs, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a deeper understanding of their riding ability!

Best Device

Familiarity:

Without a doubt the best device on the market! All the data you will ever need, simple to use and easy to figure out.

Like the old one, but with bugs

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I guess it's in color now, but that seems to be the only improvement. The map is absolutely useless if you zoom out to more than a few miles or so due to the number of colors and lines that show up and other users' names on the map getting in the way. Sometimes the map doesn't load at all. Turn by turn directions also often sends me back to the start of a ride once it loses my location or if I take a wrong turn. I was a real Wahoo fan after the first generation, but now I'll be trying something else.

Element Bolt V2 Terribly Inaccurate!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

On road and Mtb rides the data is inaccurate. I have a V1 and it works great. Not so with the V2. I am returning it. I would give it zero stars if I could.

90.6 mph! 76 mph standing still.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

This has now happened 4 times and the unit is 5 months old. When it happens the distance is also wildly inaccurate. I tried to return to Competitive Cyclist but got an automated response saying it must be in like new condition, but since it doesn’t work… Actual distance was 26 miles.
