Wahoo Fitness has launched its newest GPS bike computer, the ELEMNT ROAM with ‘significant new, innovative features’ – including dual band GPS, enhanced navigation, updated Summit Segments Climb, higher contrast screen, and upgraded memory capacity.
Wahoo adds that navigation is at the forefront of its design and development. The new ROAM features Dual Band GPS which delivers an enhanced and more accurate navigation experience especially when riding in areas where GPS reception can be limited – such as forests or urban areas.
The updated Summit Segments Climb feature makes it easier for cyclists to check on the progress of a climb. This feature now automatically detects climbs in a preloaded route, shows any already completed climbs, and users can view more in depth information about the current or upcoming climbs in their ride.
The ROAM boasts a 64 colour high contrast screen, which allows users to navigate through their workout screens, while also experiencing more detailed mapping data and easier to read colour coded charts, graphs and data fields.
An upgrade to the memory capacity of the ROAM to 32GB allows users to manage and store a greater number of regional map packs and stored routes. There is also a 17 hour, long lasting battery life.
The new ELEMNT ROAM integrates into Wahoo’s connected ecosystem of indoor and outdoor training solutions.
Riders can sync their workouts on the ROAM with their Wahoo X subscription, allowing them access to outdoor structured workouts and a complete indoor and outdoor workout history in the Wahoo SYSTM app. The ROAM also controls all KICKR Smart Trainers and the KICKR BIKE and it pairs with all of Wahoo’s other connected devices.
Mike Saturnia, CEO at Wahoo, said “We’re incredibly proud to announce the latest edition in our bike computer range. The new ELEMNT ROAM works to make riders’ GPS experience as seamless and accurate as possible, while also providing unsurpassed data accuracy for athletes in a simple, easy to use product.
“Three years ago, the ROAM was released with the mission of enabling cyclists to ride further and explore new boundaries. The new ROAM with its array of new features build on this mission and positions this product as the premier bike computer for any cyclist seeking performance, ease of use and unsurpassed routing capability.”
He added “The Wahoo X and ROAM integrated capabilities is another step forward in building the most innovative and connected ecosystem for cyclists and endurance athletes.”
Other ELEMNT ROAM features include: USB-C charging capabilities, convex buttons, an ambient light sensor, view zoom options, quicklook LEDs, on-device smart navigation and multisport handover.
The new ROAM has also integrated the Supersapiens glucose sensor system, allowing riders to keep an eye on their glucose data mid ride, without the need for a phone.
The new ELEMNT ROAM is available for £349.99.
