Elemnt bolt review dc rainmaker.

It s been a shade over two years since wahoo released the black and white screen bolt officially known as the wahoo elemnt bolt and in that time the product has received numerous firmware updates adding a pile of new features. The bolt is great value has very good battery life works well. While both the bolt and the earlier elemnt did contain maps they weren t fully routable maps. Wahoo bolt elemnt depending on source stages dash l50 m50 tier 2.

But as i ll talk about in a moment the bolt also incorporates the last year s worth of changes that wahoo has made on the existing elemnt. If you re not too deep into the garmin ecosystem then you should buy the wahoo. Elemnt bolt is a robust computer at a good price at a similar size and weight to the garmin edge 520 and 820 computers the elemnt bolt pulls ahead in price battery life smartphone. Now you can check out the dc rainmaker review.

The new elemnt bolt packs in all the same software goodness as its larger brother but just does so in a much smaller package nearly identical in size to garmin s edge 520 and edge 820 units. Overall the wahoo elemnt bolt is great little bike computer that is a viable alternative to a garmin that we can highly recommend. But as i ll talk about in a moment the bolt also incorporates the last year s worth of changes that wahoo has made on the existing elemnt. My first cycling gps unit but it works as advertised with lots of functionality at a fraction of the cost for a garmin and for just a few dollars more than the new wahoo unit.

Ok got all that. Anyone looking to upgrade from an older unit and is deciding between garmin and wahoo is faced with an interesting decision. If you have a functional edge 520 or 820 there s not much point in buying a elemnt bolt. A 10 bike computer.
