Wahoo’s flagship head unit features many updates but keeps its legacy feel and operation. The updated Wahoo Elemnt Roam boasts dual-band GPS, enhanced navigation, updated Summit Segments Climb, higher contrast screen, upgraded memory capacity, and more…Cycling head unit technology is rapidly progressing, leaving head units that look more like little cell phones and less like cycling gear. Wahoo isn’t as quick to jump on the mini-phone wagon, and we’re thankful for it.
For modern, easy charging, the new Roam employs USB-C charging capabilities. Plus, improvements on the classics like updated convex buttons , an ambient light sensor, perfect view zoom options, on-device smart navigation, and seamless multisport handover, to name but a few.The unit is easy to set up out of the box, and the display is crisp and clean.
As for mapping and radar, the Roam is on par with most that I’ve used, and considering the $399 price point, it’s better for the money. Pairing the Roam with my rear radar was easy, same with all other gadgets around my cycling life, trainer included.The mapping on the single track and out on the roads is easy to use and get directions. I found the perfect zoom slightly hard to use at first, but once I figured out the pan zoom feature, I was good to get lost.
