New Wahoo Roam and Bolt 3

Wahoo updates its two most famous cycle computers, devices that have been able to win the favor of a large number of cyclists and take a small bite out of the almost unattainable market share of the market leader Garmin. These cycle computers receive improved screens as well as the new user interface that the brand already premiered in the Ace model.

Wahoo renews its most popular cycle computers

The Bolt and the Roam are the most sporty cycle computers and therefore the most popular in the Wahoo range, only surpassed by the powerful Ace model, more oriented towards navigation due to its large screen.

However, in their third generation, Wahoo has improved both Bolt and Roam to bring them closer to the top-of-the-range model, starting with the user interface identical to the one introduced in that model.

In addition to the internal software, both Bolt and Roam now have a better screen that, in both cases, slightly increases in size, with Roam's at 2.8'' and Bolt's at 2.3'', both in full color but maintaining the difference that the former is touch-sensitive, although the unit retains the characteristic 3 buttons at the bottom in addition to the two side buttons. Meanwhile, the Bolt continues to operate only with buttons.

Although it has not yet been officially confirmed by Wahoo, which has provided very brief information about both devices that will be released on May 6, the battery life of both units would also have been improved so that the Roam would reach up to 25 hours of battery life and 20 for the Bolt.

An announcement that has only increased the interest of Wahoo fans who will have to wait until the mentioned date to learn about all the improvements introduced in both cycle computers. What we do know is the price they will have: €449.99 for the Roam while its smaller brother Bolt will rise to €329.99
