Hello cyclists! After talking to you about safety with the Coospo Radar, I'm going to say a few words about
my experience with the little Wahoo box: the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, my best buddy
out for a walk (after you of course, don't be jealous).
My quick verdict
A precise tool that works every time... a sure bet! It's efficient, robust, and it will
don't crash… and that's what we want!
Strengths
+ Its look: Unlike some computers that look like tablets glued to the handlebar, the
Wahoo Bolt remains compact, robust, and aerodynamic.
+ Mount integration: Wahoo sells us its Bolt as an aerodynamic jewel. Well,
let's be honest: unless you're averaging 45 km/h against the wind in a time-trial position—
look, the wattage gain is probably less than that of a fresh haircut... On the other hand,
It makes your 100% bike look even sexier in your # Instagram photo!
+ Its screen: the colors have good contrast, even in direct sunlight ☀ with sweat – in the
eyes, it remains readable.
+ The buttons : Goodbye to finicky touchscreens with gloves or in the rain! Here, we have real buttons
physical, with good old clicks. It’s rustic for sure, but it never misses.
+ Navigation: for me, the real strong point of the Wahoo. In my opinion, Wahoo has finally understood the meaning of
smart navigation : The GPS recalculates your route in the blink of an eye. It doesn't force you to turn around
for 10 km while beeping frantically. It brings you back to the straight and narrow like a good buddy. The
The mapping is very clear, and the indication of the turns as well.
+ Reliability: I have never experienced any bugs, whether with synchronization, route calculation, or importing.
about GPX, … really Wahoo doesn't crash, neither before your ride nor while you're grabbing a KOM
highly coveted on Strava 0
Weaknesses
If you love swiping, you're going to miss it (but you'll think of me when your screen is wet 1 or full
of mud in offroad mode 2
Screen size: If your eyesight is failing, or if you want a Michelin road map-sized display, it's
to be a little short.
Anyway, if you're the type to just ride rather than fiddle with your settings and app-GPS syncs
for 20 minutes on the sidewalk, switch to Wahoo and give your Garmin to a Geek.
