I was intrigued when Wahoo announced its third-gen Roam GPS cycling computer this spring, hot on the heels of its flagship Elemnt Ace model, which garnered polarising reviews due to its size. Controversial perhaps, but I loved the Ace’s XXL proportions and appreciated its ambitious feature set, including the unique wind sensor. Nevertheless, I accept that it’s not a head unit suited for everyone, or for every ride.
It was clear that Wahoo needed to bolster its mid-market offering with a computer that, while complementing the Ace, offered versatility, affordability, innovation and broader market appeal, like many of the best bike computers.
