It's my birthday on Wednesday and I love Wahoo... Everything Wahoo! Nothing else compares quite frankly. Oh my days, how can anybody NOT want one of these???!!!!
So much better than my old Garmin. By far the best feature for middle aged blind guys like me is the fact that you can zoom in and read the screen even without prescription glasses. Also love all other wahoo products
To Roam is to live. 20,000 miles and going strong , my Roam has been my companion on all my adventures , seemless integration with my apps and other devices. I would never choose another product , great visuals and maps are so reliable. I donated my Bolt to my husband when I upgraded due to the age old eyesight issue , I plan , he is happy to follow as he can’t see either! Time to get him on board with a Roam so when I disappear into the distance as I am known to do - he won’t get lost 😁 anymore .
Wahoo, if you're reading this: please, add ant+ light control profile in upcoming firmware update. This is not a funny comment but I still hope to win this unit ^^
A cold from "roam" ing around.. hopefully more (64) colours warmed you up. Winning would help me roam more. Live weather updates SHOULD be the next upgrade though
My 2020 Elemnt Roam has now reliably taken me 23,037 kilometres, which I think works out at 1.6 pence per km. Reliability is such a crucial thing when you are on unfamiliar roads. Looking forward to the new Public Route Sharing feature. I did like Sol's riff on the periodic table - could we call this Roam an allotrope of the first one?
I ride for a Human Powered cycling team for my school called Kingswood College HPV team. At the moment we are running an outdated Garmin edge 500 however the battery doesn't last that long. A new head unit would be an amazing addition for the team during our 24 hour race at the end of this year as it would mean we can see our speed and power data, in the time when our head unit we have is charging. This would be a crucial improvement for our team and make us more competative whilst leaving us funds to spend on other consumables such as tyres and drivetrain components as we haven't found new sponsors yet.
My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds. I want to spend it on Wiggle Wiggle, for sure. Riding on my Wilier, you really have to see it. Six feet one in bib shorts, no slack. Luckily in the race I'm not at the back. Wiggle's item reviews are simply the best, thumbs up!
Never used a head to guide me on a ride! Always plan on a map before I set off - that said I have taken a few wrrong turns in my time. I’d be curious to try using one, but got the age related problem of map size vs need for reading glasses maybe they aren’t meant for over 60s 😂
Wahooooooo i better get a wiggle on, would be lovely to win this so I can roam about giving it a good old kickr to the old tickr. If I did win it I may have to bolt of though, but atleast with this systm I'll be in my elemnt 😁
Looks like a fantastic bike computer, I have and old cateye which does not do enough stuff. It would be great to have a new bike computer and a colour screen too, will it make me quicker ???
Defo could do with this in my life, do the same old route as don’t know where i’m going! Would love to get some new maps and routes to ride my bike in! 🤞🤞🤞
The dual-band gps signal can probably help you out a lot in the deep forests. Would be a cool gadget as my first bike computer! :)) good luck to everyone for the giveaway 🙌💯
Been looking for a garmin for a while, change of circumstances has knocked that on the head but this may be an option instead when things take a turn for the better 👍
How an unboxing should be done for us chimps at home: sped up run through of the contents of the box finished with “unboxing done!” Then there are other channels where they unbox products that contain a rubber glove or a wooden spoon and spend 20 minutes ogling over it and and reading an instruction guide in 21 languages. Oh, and the new roam is a lovely iteration. Nice improvements. USB-C is so much more sensible. Also means the cable just goes in both ways up. Smart.
I road the Rift Race in Iceland 100 Km with My Roam Element 1 never made it back from my race back from Iceland to Canada… Loved my number 1… So I am off to buy the new Element v2 Have a great day .. Awsome video too. James
Nice review considering how you were feeling. Just a thought wouldn't the Super Sapien glucose reader be very useful for diabetics to monitor their levels? Bloody good idea leading to cycling being a more attractive option for fitness as well as being more inclusive. Anyway my Garmin is steam powered and I need a new one wink wink.
It's my dream to have a bike computer with navigation, but they are so expensive...🙈 when I go cycling I have to rely on my boyfriend's maps app on his smartphone, we have to stop on every (sometimes every other) corner of the streets and wait for him to check where to go next.. even that doesn't help us from losing way and making wrong turns (don't tell him) 🤫 I would love to have this useful thing on my bicycle and be the clever one who really knows where we need to go 😇☺️
The dual GPS will come in handy for the online tracking so my wife doesn't think I am randomly cycling through ditches and fields, compared to my Wahoo Elemnt, lol
“Great, a competition to win the new Roam. What do I have to do?” “Like. Done. Subscribe. Done. Write a funny comment” *groans* “Why can’t it be random? I hate trying to be funny, I’m not a comedian.” “I bet it is random. They’re not going to read the comments are they?” “I’ll just buy it instead. How much is it? Blimey. Hmm, I’ll just write this instead and hope that it’s random.”
I've cycled from Amsterdam to Athens using just a map app, it was tedious stopping at every junction, memorising upcoming turns, always getting lost. I also manually calculated all my statistics! I can't imagine the bliss and ease of guided navigation and statistic tracking!
Today Wahoo have discovered a new ELEMENT to add to their periodic table of performance increasing cycling particles - the ROAM. Once taken on your ride, this mighty element will increase your ability to safely go home after roaming too far from the beaten track on a cycling epic adventure.
I'm so tired of using my phone I end up lost and all on my own But Wiggle will see me through With the brand new Wahoo Oh please let me win the new Roam!
The new Roam sounds like an awesome upgrade from my old Bolt (v1). Started bikepacking and exploring more, so the larger and higher resolotion screeen paired with the dual dps would be nice.
Cycled with the Schokofahrt from Germany to Amsterdam/Netherlands. With a Smartphone as Navigation Tool. Big mistake in heavy rain. Charging Not possible due to humidity. Navigation Not available due to constant rain on the Touchscreen and unwanted Touches. Which one would you recommend (mostly Navigation and a bit of sport) Garmin Edge Explore 2 or Wahoo Elemnt 2?
The update's taken a while. I guess Roam wasn't built in a day. 🙂 Does the arm patch you mentioned for glucose updates in effect act like a diabetic glucose monitor? I'm type 1 diabetic and don't like interrupting my ride, tho' it's absolutely necessary, to check my blood sugars. Although you mentioned not many would use it, it actually could be very useful. I'm 8 years post double lung transplant, I'm still on an Element Bolt though. Would love a Wahoo bike computer transplant! 🙂 Great review. Thank you! 👍🙂
Thank you - very informative. However, I've spent some time 'roaming' around the Wiggle website but notice it isn't appearing as an option to buy! Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Please advise. I also spent a good 20 minutes on your 'chat' waiting to be told you had no idea when stock was due! So, has your business model changed? In the hope it has, I would be very happy to receive one free of charge if you are giving it away, considering I'm not able to buy it from you despite my best efforts. And, please note, I was one of the first to buy the original Wahoo Elemnt - a breath of fresh air compared to the headaches Garmin gave me! It just worked 🙂
Wow!!! Look at that beauty 🤩 Like the 5th Elemnt 😜 Much nicer in black. Would love to get that one. I am as of now hooked up to Garmin and have been so for ages. But have been for years languished Wahoo's. So pretty please let me win 🫠
32GB?? Wahooo! Having my phone jump off the handlebars and smash onto the road beneath needs to be a thing of the past, would LOVE a Roam up front and my phone safely tucked into my jersey!
My trusty OG bolt has finally decided to die mid majorca trip 😵 that new roam looks beautiful 🤩 If I win I promise to do coast to coast or something big next year 😁 Was in the hotel earlier and thought I could hear people dancing, nope just happened to be 20 cleated waddles to the bike store 🤣
Show Me the Elemnt ROAM I’m tired and I want to go to bed My body started to bonk about an hour ago And it’s gone right to my head Wherever I may ROAM, over roads until I get home You will always hear me singing this song Show me the Elemnt ROAM
As the great late Jim Bowen would say, “Super. Smashing, Great…come and look at what you’ve won…!” Send it first class to me please Wiggle! Danny Nolan
This comment suddenly got a lot more serious than I initially intended it to be. I've just read an article indicating how many of the ladies peloton below WT are not paid a salary or do not have medical cover. It's improving but still ridiculous. When does it become unseemly for the mens peloton, some of whom are very well paid and have a great deal of power, to continue riding as if this is tolerable? Cycling is certainly not the only sport where this is the case but it is my favourite and needs to change.
Would love one of these! Fed up of having to use my iPhone and draining the battery! Anyway a joke to cheer you up… why did the baker have brown hands? Because he kneaded a poo! 😆👍🏼
Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved riding his bike but he kept getting lost and the big bad wolf almost ate him twice , he barely got away only to like+subscribe and then wiggle gifted him the new Wahoo Roam and he never got lost again, and they lived happily ever after....
I have coped for years with a phone in a quadlock case on airplane mode… I think you may have finally persuaded me that a bike computer is a worthwhile upgrade but it’s more money that I don’t have 😭
I don’t know what it is about Wahoo that just makes these products awesome. I’d love this on my new stealth coloured bike for Wahoo-ever I may Roam (sorry that’s shameful)
On the verge of a new bike computer as current Garmin has battery issues. Wahoo or Garmin? Now, if I win a Wahoo, that would make life so much better. 🥳
Looking for a new bike computer if only for the extreme satisfaction of slowly peeling off the protective film on the screen . . . I'd do it daily if possible!!!
Son wants to get into road cycling, I get a new roam and I can give him my old one, money tight has work the nhs, royal papworth Cambridge heart and lung hospital ❗️👍🏾
![NOSFERATU - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nulvWqYUM8k/mqdefault.jpg)
Have you dropped a comment for a chance to win the new roam yet?
HELL YEAH! I'm in it to win it
Naaa - I'm good thanks
Good morning, I hope you are feeling better.
Can you ship it to Colombia in case a win?
I'd love an upgrade from my bolt v1 where the batteries don't last more than 3 hours now. good luck and thank you for the chance.
Considering I can't buy it off you, yes!!
It's my birthday on Wednesday and I love Wahoo... Everything Wahoo! Nothing else compares quite frankly. Oh my days, how can anybody NOT want one of these???!!!!
So much better than my old Garmin. By far the best feature for middle aged blind guys like me is the fact that you can zoom in and read the screen even without prescription glasses. Also love all other wahoo products
True that! I should have added that to the review
Always had a bolt loved every "wahoo" second of ride with it! The new roam looks amazing
I'd love an updated model I'd definitely wahoo!
I'm a student and I never had a computer and I started about 6 months now I ride a gravel everyday and having a computer will help a lot
Every cyclist loves a bit of pizza but last night I couldn’t find my pizza slicer soooo I used my Bryan Adam’s CD instead ……. It cuts like a knife 😉
To Roam is to live.
20,000 miles and going strong , my Roam has been my companion on all my adventures , seemless integration with my apps and other devices. I would never choose another product , great visuals and maps are so reliable.
I donated my Bolt to my husband when I upgraded due to the age old eyesight issue , I plan , he is happy to follow as he can’t see either!
Time to get him on board with a Roam so when I disappear into the distance as I am known to do - he won’t get lost 😁 anymore .
Wahoo, if you're reading this: please, add ant+ light control profile in upcoming firmware update. This is not a funny comment but I still hope to win this unit ^^
I am currently covid ridden but don't feel as rough as you sound 😁 Great review, thanks.
Woo-hoo, no, wait, Wahoo, another great Wiggle competition 🎉🎉🎉🎉
A cold from "roam" ing around.. hopefully more (64) colours warmed you up. Winning would help me roam more. Live weather updates SHOULD be the next upgrade though
The Wahoo ecosystem is so easy to use. Love the companion app. Makes configuring the devices a doddle. Would make setting this up easy too if I win it
The companion app is a game changer!
My 2020 Elemnt Roam has now reliably taken me 23,037 kilometres, which I think works out at 1.6 pence per km. Reliability is such a crucial thing when you are on unfamiliar roads. Looking forward to the new Public Route Sharing feature. I did like Sol's riff on the periodic table - could we call this Roam an allotrope of the first one?
I ride for a Human Powered cycling team for my school called Kingswood College HPV team. At the moment we are running an outdated Garmin edge 500 however the battery doesn't last that long.

This would be a crucial improvement for our team and make us more competative whilst leaving us funds to spend on other consumables such as tyres and drivetrain components as we haven't found new sponsors yet.
Been using Bolt for 6 years, never had an issue battery still lasts daily rides. No need for any new gadget yet.
The OG Bolt is still the best of the best! Chapeau
Im a 13 year old racer and i would love the Roam to save all the data that i need to keep traning!
My money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds. I want to spend it on Wiggle Wiggle, for sure. Riding on my Wilier, you really have to see it. Six feet one in bib shorts, no slack. Luckily in the race I'm not at the back.
Wiggle's item reviews are simply the best, thumbs up!
Great review - the new Roam looks fab - I love my original Roam, but I definitely would think of upgrading based on your review.
I love my v1 ROAM and looking forward to seeing the new V2
Roam! Roam! Roam! it’s magic! you know, never believe it’s not so.
😆
No real comment just a dad joke!
Every single morning I get hit by the same bike...
It's a vicious cycle...
🤞🏻this gets me the Roam!! 🤣
When your sending me the new wahoo roam 2. Can I please pick it up. Don’t use Evri. Still waiting for the last order I made.
Never used a head to guide me on a ride! Always plan on a map before I set off - that said I have taken a few wrrong turns in my time. I’d be curious to try using one, but got the age related problem of map size vs need for reading glasses maybe they aren’t meant for over 60s 😂
Wahooooooo i better get a wiggle on, would be lovely to win this so I can roam about giving it a good old kickr to the old tickr. If I did win it I may have to bolt of though, but atleast with this systm I'll be in my elemnt 😁
Look a bit ropey? You look like you’ve been Roaming (see what I did there!) lost in the wildneress for 2 weeks
With so many “bonus” mentioned from the review packed into the new Roam, that definitely convinced me to be a Wahooligan! Bonus!😉
Looks like a fantastic bike computer, I have and old cateye which does not do enough stuff. It would be great to have a new bike computer and a colour screen too, will it make me quicker ???
Where ever I lay my cycling hat, that’s my Roam!
Now i want one, it can display water, perfect for my pedalo.
Defo could do with this in my life, do the same old route as don’t know where i’m going! Would love to get some new maps and routes to ride my bike in! 🤞🤞🤞
Looks great, though might be hard to convince the wife that I got lost after I get it?
The dual-band gps signal can probably help you out a lot in the deep forests.
Would be a cool gadget as my first bike computer! :)) good luck to everyone for the giveaway 🙌💯
Been looking for a garmin for a while, change of circumstances has knocked that on the head but this may be an option instead when things take a turn for the better 👍
Been looking to upgrade my Garmin-this just might be it🥰🥰
Q. How much money does Wiggle spend on Haribo every year? 😂
How an unboxing should be done for us chimps at home: sped up run through of the contents of the box finished with “unboxing done!”
Then there are other channels where they unbox products that contain a rubber glove or a wooden spoon and spend 20 minutes ogling over it and and reading an instruction guide in 21 languages.
Oh, and the new roam is a lovely iteration. Nice improvements. USB-C is so much more sensible. Also means the cable just goes in both ways up. Smart.
Looks good , is it easy to use ?
Finally I can get lost easier in improved ColourVision!
Inny to Outie buttons, yes!
I road the Rift Race in Iceland 100 Km with My Roam Element 1 never made it back from my race back from Iceland to Canada…
Loved my number 1…
So I am off to buy the new Element v2
Have a great day ..
Awsome video too.
James
Mega race! I used the v1 for years and absolutely loved it. Still amazing now but you’ll love the v2 even more. Enjoy!
Anyone else pee on the side of the toilet bowl to make less noise at night?
“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive” said Robert Louis Stevenson - with Wahoo’s new Roam that’s now easy! 😊
I’ve got an inny, so I probably shouldn’t win this
I’m a huge fan of wahoo and like the bolt so far. The roam would be awesome too!
Never thought I see Harry Potter reviewing bike gear.
I’ve always wanted to try a Wahoo head unit, but seem to be stuck in the Garmin ecosystem.
Awesome! I want one of those. The New roam is 🔥
17 hours battery might just let me do an Everest.... 2023 goals :)
Nice review considering how you were feeling. Just a thought wouldn't the Super Sapien glucose reader be very useful for diabetics to monitor their levels? Bloody good idea leading to cycling being a more attractive option for fitness as well as being more inclusive. Anyway my Garmin is steam powered and I need a new one wink wink.
Not all who Roam are lost 😉 live the adventure
Always a fan of Wahoo, super easy and simple to use. Wahooo
Every review should be delivered by a man full of cold. Any promo chat becomes instantly more credible!
😆 as long as it's not me every time!
I could do with a new ‘Wahoo Roam’ to stop my normal ‘Riding Lost’ adventures!!!
It's my dream to have a bike computer with navigation, but they are so expensive...🙈 when I go cycling I have to rely on my boyfriend's maps app on his smartphone, we have to stop on every (sometimes every other) corner of the streets and wait for him to check where to go next.. even that doesn't help us from losing way and making wrong turns (don't tell him) 🤫 I would love to have this useful thing on my bicycle and be the clever one who really knows where we need to go 😇☺️
Looks amazing!! Would love to have one
No witty comment I just want it. Ta bbz
Looking to replace my Edge 820; will the new Roam live up to the expectation? Well, just give it to me and I'll prove it "in the field" 😁
The dual GPS will come in handy for the online tracking so my wife doesn't think I am randomly cycling through ditches and fields, compared to my Wahoo Elemnt, lol
“Great, a competition to win the new Roam. What do I have to do?”

I can't imagine the bliss and ease of guided navigation and statistic tracking!
That sounds pretty mad! Chapeau!
Wish I could get a bike computer for training but they've been a little out of reach for me. It would be great to help me "roam" *bu dun tsst*
Today Wahoo have discovered a new ELEMENT to add to their periodic table of performance increasing cycling particles - the ROAM. Once taken on your ride, this mighty element will increase your ability to safely go home after roaming too far from the beaten track on a cycling epic adventure.
Should I stick with my Lezyne Mega C or should I get a bike computer from one of the market leaders 🤔
mmmmmmnnnn stick with the Mega C... Chapeau for keeping that going so long!
@@wiggle well winning the new Roam might just make the decision even harder 😉
What did the Garmin 830 say as it road off a cliff?
WAHOOOOOOO!
In the words of the B52's, Roam if you want to, roam around the world....
I'm so tired of using my phone
I end up lost and all on my own
But Wiggle will see me through
With the brand new Wahoo
Oh please let me win the new Roam!
It would be great to have a rainbow leds conf to celebrate the pride day or when you win a KOM!
Wahoo! Looks great. I like to ‘roam’ but don’t have a bike computer (yet). Would like to give it a go
Great product Wahoo. Here’s hoping all roads lead to ROAM 🤞
Always had a bolt loved every "wahoo" second of ride with it! The new roam looks amazing
I'd love an updated model I'd definitely wahoo!
Roameo Roameo, where art thou Roameo. 🌹
😆😆😆
Love wahoo but my original elemnt is dying a death so this would really help me
Yayyy!!! Commenting to win the roaming
Sounds like a great bike computer 😊
I need a new head unit to roam about it. So I can shout wahoo to everyone I see.
Everybody Have nice stuff but me... :) (The Dead Milkmen)
The new Roam sounds like an awesome upgrade from my old Bolt (v1). Started bikepacking and exploring more, so the larger and higher resolotion screeen paired with the dual dps would be nice.
Cycled with the Schokofahrt from Germany to Amsterdam/Netherlands. With a Smartphone as Navigation Tool. Big mistake in heavy rain. Charging Not possible due to humidity. Navigation Not available due to constant rain on the Touchscreen and unwanted Touches.
Which one would you recommend (mostly Navigation and a bit of sport) Garmin Edge Explore 2 or Wahoo Elemnt 2?
Looks cool.
You had me at "now in black to better match your components" 😂😂
The update's taken a while. I guess Roam wasn't built in a day. 🙂 Does the arm patch you mentioned for glucose updates in effect act like a diabetic glucose monitor? I'm type 1 diabetic and don't like interrupting my ride, tho' it's absolutely necessary, to check my blood sugars. Although you mentioned not many would use it, it actually could be very useful. I'm 8 years post double lung transplant, I'm still on an Element Bolt though. Would love a Wahoo bike computer transplant! 🙂 Great review. Thank you! 👍🙂

32GB?? Wahooo! Having my phone jump off the handlebars and smash onto the road beneath needs to be a thing of the past, would LOVE a Roam up front and my phone safely tucked into my jersey!
You might look and sound awful but your information isn't, well done for struggling through 😳
My trusty OG bolt has finally decided to die mid majorca trip 😵 that new roam looks beautiful 🤩
If I win I promise to do coast to coast or something big next year 😁
Was in the hotel earlier and thought I could hear people dancing, nope just happened to be 20 cleated waddles to the bike store 🤣
Show Me the Elemnt ROAM
I’m tired and I want to go to bed
My body started to bonk about an hour ago
And it’s gone right to my head
Wherever I may ROAM, over roads until I get home
You will always hear me singing this song
Show me the Elemnt ROAM
As the great late Jim Bowen would say, “Super. Smashing, Great…come and look at what you’ve won…!” Send it first class to me please Wiggle! Danny Nolan
People who want GPS bike computers like endlessly studying maps and analysing performance minutiae. We just don't do pithy punchlines!!
This comment suddenly got a lot more serious than I initially intended it to be. I've just read an article indicating how many of the ladies peloton below WT are not paid a salary or do not have medical cover. It's improving but still ridiculous. When does it become unseemly for the mens peloton, some of whom are very well paid and have a great deal of power, to continue riding as if this is tolerable? Cycling is certainly not the only sport where this is the case but it is my favourite and needs to change.
Great video…
Just watched the "First Look" video by Ollie Bridgewood from GCN Tech. I was pleasantly surprised he didn't drop it ;-)
Would love one of these! Fed up of having to use my iPhone and draining the battery! Anyway a joke to cheer you up… why did the baker have brown hands? Because he kneaded a poo! 😆👍🏼
Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved riding his bike but he kept getting lost and the big bad wolf almost ate him twice , he barely got away only to like+subscribe and then wiggle gifted him the new Wahoo Roam and he never got lost again, and they lived happily ever after....
I have coped for years with a phone in a quadlock case on airplane mode… I think you may have finally persuaded me that a bike computer is a worthwhile upgrade but it’s more money that I don’t have 😭
I don’t know what it is about Wahoo that just makes these products awesome. I’d love this on my new stealth coloured bike for Wahoo-ever I may Roam (sorry that’s shameful)
Not really much better better then V1. I would hold on to the V1 if I still had it. Great review though, I didn't know that Thor was into cycling. ;)
On the verge of a new bike computer as current Garmin has battery issues. Wahoo or Garmin? Now, if I win a Wahoo, that would make life so much better. 🥳
Looking for a new bike computer if only for the extreme satisfaction of slowly peeling off the protective film on the screen . . . I'd do it daily if possible!!!
