Great video Des! I like this little device! I didn’t have the same issues Ray had with his unit. Mine just seemed to work. I think it’ll be a popular bike computer for people.
Ray seems to have a habit of breaking things 🤷♂️ Yup, was solid on my end of things other than a few pre-prod quirks but zero crashes. This was a nice update. Thanks Matt!
The zone colours great feature, surely they could do away with the led lights and push the bezels up and out more to create a full screen view, anyone find the lights useful, I never really took much notice when I had a bolt but the zone colours now look very interesting.
Excellent review. I appreciate you getting right down to business rather than droning on with some nonsense before discussing the computer. Great job, DesFit.
Thanks for your review, the question is : Real life vs Claimed battery life when connected to different sensors What Me and a lot of other people I spoke to like to know before making the purchase is how long is the actual battery life when connected to sensors specially Garmin Radar. To give some perspective, Bolt 1 claims 11 hours but when paired with Radar it barely last 8 hours.
Does the Elemnt Bolt show street names on its maps? Your video and others seem to show rare street names (if any) for the Elemnt Bolt (in contrast to the Garmin 5330). Is this correct?
Thank you for the review. One question, while in navigation mode, can I remove the top line with speed and distance to the next turn to make map look bigger?
I like that they slightly raised the buttons. That’s good for us girl who have nails as we can use the buttons with potentially damaging (tearing) the button. I may look into this for Christmas depending on your long term review if this gets one :) Good review.
@@DesFit I loved them! Could squish it into any pockets on a stop without having to worry about a button being pressed.. Still not sure whether to "upgrade" from my roam or not and this is an important factor for me :D
Using Bolt v2 from last couple of days, pathetic release by Wahoo, I am amazed to see so many bugs 1. Wifi doesn't connect to WPA + AES but needs TKIP which is dated and deprecated standard 2. Screen visibility is awful during day time and not bright during evenings 3. Drops connection to my HRM abruptly 4. Navigated is messed up and slow! tooks way longer to load , buttons become unresponsive when navigation is turned on , also showed me incorrect arrows all the time. 5. Top LED's bleed light , look very cheap. My suggestion, do not upgrade just yet , wait until they fix all these issues.
Awesome vid, really concise and exactly what I was looking for. If I'm new to cycling, would it be worth buying this one over the original as my first cyclocomputer? LBS has the original stealth edition for $230 and the new one for MSRP $280 so I'm weighing my options.
Okay, I give up!! How do I get the data fields to be in color. I am apparently missing something as I have tried everything I can think of. Help!!! Thanx.
hahaha I don't live there now, but the map you use, maybe where you live is my hometown. I am a Loveland Native!! I don't live there now, totally random, funny watching a map of loveland pop up in a TH-cam video!!!
Hi! Thanks for the review! Does it have alerting functionality similar to what Sigma Rox 12 has for reminding when to drink and/or eat? Thank you in advance
I wasted my money on one of these..No out front mount available for integrated aero bars.. lags badly.. takes ages to sync.. not good..stay with Garmin
I did a 200 km ride today but this advice ran out of battery just before arrival and now my data seem to be missing. Ideas? Is it saveable or does this product suck?
Have just bought the new wahoo bolt - thank you for the demo its the best most comprehensive overview of the unit that I've found. Im in UK. Would like to hear a how to use the wahoo app which links the unit.
Did you also experience crashes while routing? I have my Bolt V2 a couple of weeks now and drove four times the same 90 km track. Every time I did the same, but two times the routing just stopped in the middle of the route and I needed to start the navigation again. Very annoying.
Like many of us I have multiple bikes... single speed, MTB, gravel bike. Does the new bolt allow you to track which bike/equipment you used on each ride? At end of year would like to know how much mileage I put on each individual bike.
How to I add to my saved locations? Yesterday I managed to add my work and home addresses. I want to add a few more but for some reason I can't find how to do it again.....
Good stuff, thanks for the great and thorough review. i've been running an original Bolt for a couple years now I guess, and I like the idea of continuing the line. I've been seeing Karoo ads but this review might have just cinched the deal. Once again, thanks
Great review Des - thanks! I get that lag with turns from time to time too - sometimes I overshoot by about 50-75 metres before it "wakes up" and tells me I'm wrong which is very frustrating. Also, why blue for the rerouting to get you back on track? Rivers/water is blue and so are cycleways on the device. I wonder why they didn't go for red?
With such small devices what are people that are far sighted suppose to do to read the display. You can't wear far sighted glasses while riding. Unless you get special glasses made and even then it's very disturbing to your view when looking down at the road.
Literally bought the Edge 530 because the old bold was out of stock everywhere 😢. Guess I’m going to return that. Thanks for the review, superb video again!
Sure thing, Jërön! Edge 530 is a good option too. Both great computers but it could be your personal preference between usability and the accompanying apps.
Just bought new elemnt bolt ,it's just 100% better than old one starting from buttons which are easy to press ,less annoying than old one.its game changer for me

hi, i am about to change my garmin 530 for a wahoo but i don't have made my choice yet... i am very struggling to choose between the bolt v2 and the roam. i think the bolt is a little bit better, more colours, great navigation etc.. but i very like the size of the roam. i am afraid that the bolt look small because im use to the size of the 530 please help me ahah ;)

My first ride - I jumped away as with Favero and now Rally Pedals - the AVG PWR for the workout is low - I know that to fix it in TP you can simply cut a few seconds - but while training the head unit displays a low number - the individual laps seem fine. During import - TR and Strava are always higher (I assume correctly), NP is correct? but the device and app will show that. Is the answer to just not display AVG power workout - do you know why, it is different - the 530 and SRM PC8 numbers aren't low and they also have the exact same delay from the pedals from a stop?
@@tasmaniandevil2770 I was one of the first to ID it with them a few years ago - I use a SRM PC8 for interval training inside. I also have Favero and Rally pedals - they both do the same thing:(
It's slightly different on the BOLT V2 where you'll search for all available sensors and you can then choose which ones to add whereas with the 530 you can choose to search all or a specific type of sensor. You can't rename the sensor on the BOLT V2 itself but can do so via the ELEMNT app.
I received the Wahoo Bolt V2 yesterday. Since I had a Bolt V1, I know my stuff and have set everything as I need it. I have installed all the maps of Germany and neighboring countries. Today I did a 2h test ride, using route planning and a TraingsPeak workout. What I noticed immediately that the maps are not displayed correctly although I had my iPhone with me, was in the display the whole trip "LOADING...". I did get the road I was riding on displayed, but nothing of the surrounding area. The training data and sensors (power crank & RPM (Stages) & heart rate Tickr) worked fine. Something I'm surprised about the power consumption, because after 2h was already 21% battery power gone. The also shrunk from 100 to 79%. So a maximum driving time of just under 10h would be possible. Tonight there was a new update to WA20-11596, maybe it helps. Greetings Rouven
@@ffezh5060 My Bolt2 has trouble with loading the battery via USB Hubs. For the Bolt1 this was no problem. Since i shrunk the Bolt 2 to Zero and fully charge 24h by a real Charging Plug, the battery life is 15-16h. So works fine now for me.
Hey Des, love the channel.. went down a rabbit hole watching your smart watch videos. Curious to get your thoughts on mtb or gravel routing/maps? I'm debating between a fenix (small screen, but basic nav functionality and worst case I use my phone if I'm stuck) or going with a head unit
If you can afford it I’d suggest a head unit for cycling. Watches are great and all but mapping and navigation usability is much easier with a bike computer. Plus you don’t have to turn yourself wrist or take your hands off the handlebars to view the info. Thanks Barry!
@@SteveT__001 I've just been using the new Karoo 2 from Hammerhead. Although good, battery life isn't the best and I'd like to try units from both Garmin and Wahoo to compare.
