Maybe you have a bog-standard heart rate strap or a Garmin Varia Radar light or maybe you have a pressing need to display 14 kinds of muscle oxygen data metrics or a Di2 gear visual chart you guessed it. Heck, even your sweat will be compatible with your Kickr mat…or anyone else’s mat for that matter too. Obviously, Bolt 2 will let you follow a Best Bike Split course with your Kickr smart trainer, bounce you senseless with your Kickr Climb, and hand off nicely during your triathlon to your Elemnt Rival watch. If leading-edge, adaptive power training with Xert is your thing or if that lung-busting FTP-booster session from Training Peaks is more your cup of tea then all will be good. The new Wahoo Elemnt Bolt covers every kind of riding you want to do from following a course from RwGPS whilst on holiday through to chasing Strava segment PRs live on your TT bike.

The reasons to make an informed upgrade decision are given further below and there are 30 Facts to help those of you who are considering a switch to Wahoo… you won’t regret it. The battery life is the same but the charge time is significantly faster and whilst the device+screen combo is essentially the same size, the screen quality is much improved with the colours boosted from monochrome to 64, although the resolution is unchanged. Every existing feature is carried over and there are some sweet improvements including a pre-loaded routable map that adds the elevation and TBT directions to any route you load.

The new Bolt is a faster device than its 4-year old predecessor. Verdict: the most usable bike computer for performance and navigation. Here is my short review of the new Wahoo Bolt with some further thoughts and 30 interesting & unusual BOLT facts below, I’ve used my Bolt 2 extensively throughout H2.2021 as my main bike computer and, FWIW, it’s still on my bike. If you’re looking for a button-operated, small-format performance bikenav or if you just want to upgrade from your original Bolt v1…then get the Visa primed for action, start smiling and get one directly from Wahoo tomorrow.

Wahoo ELEMNTs have the “ just works” factor and do what you want them to. You will find SURPRISINGLY FEW cyclists who buy a Wahoo and then switch away to another brand. Why? There is a reason for that a very good reason. Both have all the features you need but the Wahoo Bolt 2 simply offers a better rider experience although perhaps Garmin edges it for the few of you who have complex navigation needs.Ī pertinent fact to ponder over is that the original Bolt is now a whopping 4 years old and yet it was still selling welllast month. The new Wahoo Elemnt Bolt 2 and Garmin Edge 530 are the best performance bike computers and every review from real cyclists/triathletes says that.
