Simplicity comes in several features, such as the large and tactile navigation and use buttons favored by training cyclists, the ability to fully program the ROAM via the Wahoo ELEMNT app, the on-unit Perfect View Zoom and programmable LED performance indicators. ROAM also utilizes colors for easy to identify training features on screen. For connectivity, the ROAM is equipped with the expected Bluetooth, ANT+, Wi-Fi and ANT+ FE-C systems, and like all ELEMNT GPS bike computers the ROAM can pair seamlessly with most bicycle sensors; including power meters, heart rate monitors, speed sensors, cadence sensors, electronic shifting systems, muscle oxygen sensors and KICKR indoor bike trainers- as well as other manufacturer units. After a ride, your workouts automatically and wirelessly sync to your favorite 3rd party apps. Of course includes Strava as ROAM fully integrates with Strava Live Segments to give you a heads up before the segment begins, progress status when you are ahead or behind your goal, and a unique Final Push when you are close to hitting a PR or taking that KOM.

TrainingPeaks and Today’s Plan are fully integrated so that your training plan automatically syncs to your ROAM. Mid-workout receive LED, audio and pop-up notifications at each interval and post workout your data is sent back to the apps automatically. Training indoors? Wahoo smart trainers will adjust resistance to match the target power of each interval. Plus, it comes pre-loaded with three Team Ineos structured workouts designed by their team coaches and 2 FTP tests for your convenience. You also get the popular ELEMNT Climb Data tool. Using an onboard barometric altimeter and GPS data, ROAM displays accurate climb data in real time, including grade and total distance climbed. As far as other standard ELEMNT features go, ROAM carries the Live Tracking system to help keep others cued in on your location- a great safety feature. It goes without saying, though we list it anyway, but you get full smart Live Notifications via your phone, as well as full control and integration with all Wahoo KICKR series trainers.

Finally, for those who appreciate that the BOLT was developed with a more aerodynamic shape and integrated mount system, the same approach was brought to the ROAM. While the ROAM may not be the first choice of most training cyclists, there are many who will appreciate the full featured, easy to read and use ROAM with it's serious GPS navigation capabilities, especially those who regularly travel or ride outside the normal home training range. These riders may even use a BOLT for local, repetitive training rides and racing. As you are in the Wahoo universe, data and file formats will automatically match up. That is the advantage of Wahoo, and the reason many existing Wahooligans, and many converts, will bring the ELEMNT ROAM home.
