This Is My VERY Short Review Of The Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT V2

M gusta más los vídeos largos son más claros gracias por compartir sus experiencias

wahoo did a really good job with the software so it works well with buttons is not unlike Gramin where you have this filing that software was meant for high-end models with touchscreen

Great review and it sounds like you covered the things I was looking for, thanks!! I love the jokes in between :-D it did made me chuckle quite a few times in a 4 minute video! Thanks for making my day!

Been using it for 1year+ now, the device itself is very nice indeed.

Unfortunately, almost all my training routes have trees growing around them. Even those nasty ones with leaves on.

And this is where the GPS reception gets strangely bad, even with shitloads of blue sky above.
90% of my Strava segments drop out without a warning or message, which makes for a truly terrible UX.
The result is rather bad GPS data, basically the same as created by my old Garmin 520, which never ever dropped out of any segment ever btw..
Support basically says "thats how it is".

Great video m, loved the short format

I love the format!

no touchscreen is the way to go! trust me!

Thoroughly enjoy your videos and your sense of humour 😂

Short, incisive, articulate review. Question: how is it in bright sunlight? I'm a 70 year-old specs wearer who has to stop in shade to read nav on my phone. If there is shade. Or turn to create some.

I love my Wahoo Bolt V1, and the V2 looks a great cycling computer but I really hate the way it needs to connect to WiFi, especially when you might not have any when away from home, or when your home wi-fi isn't compatible, I was using a hotspot on a phone for a while but it becomes much more work to do this than it really should be. If it would simply do everything via bluetooth like Garmin does, that would solve a lot of problems for me. I found this channel in my quest for a suitable Wahoo replacement.

Short or long videos don't really matter because you are fun to watch either way. The short ones may come in handy when someone is video surfing & doesn't want to watch a 20 minute long video at that particular time.

I really enjoyed your short experiment here. Great humor, made my day. Greetings from Berlin ✌🏻

Went from Garmin to Bolt back to Garmin. Bolt was good but for me Garmin is an overall better bike computer.

Hello. I keep hearing about how good the battery is. But my Bolt v2 gives me about 4-5h.
From 100% charged to 10% in my latest 3.h 58 minutes ride.

The absence of a touch screen is an advantage.

I binned mine - mapping features are terrible.

Thanks for the excellent short take. I still think I'm going to go with the Garmin ecosystem and now just have to decide if I'm going to swoop in on the 530 sale or wait to see what the 540 looks like.

I'm on the v1 and still love it.

I own this computer, the only thing I really wish it had, was a light network possibility, where you turn the computer on, the lights turn on, i believe Garmin has it, and also, structured workouts require third party integration, which you have to pay, unless you want to plan one each time (training peaks)

Is a garmin’s extra features useless without a HRM and/or power meter? I have neither and don’t really see myself buying either this year but am looking to buy my first bike computer.

...& what you happen to tickle really, really, is none of my business...
Yet, thanks Monty

Thank you for kindly staring into my soul throughout the video...😉

Perfect review, agree with each and every word as owner of Bolt v2.

Good review and I like the bite sized format. As a newbie bike computer user I loved how intuitive and simple it is to use. Three things that need work (IMHO):
1. I wish it would power up 'on the go' (from a power brick for instance).
2. Using 'Return to Route' can be a bit of a magical mystery tour.
3. I'd like the route colour to be customisable (it's blue and that's the same blue as water so if you're near a river...). 3A I'd like to be able to make it wider too for us visually compromised older riders.
EDIT: Ooh.. No.4 - it can and does freeze when charging.
