Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The ROAM V2 is purpose-built for navigation with a color touchscreen and turn-by-turn directions. The dual-band GPS is accurate even in dense tree cover. Route sync from your phone is seamless, and the 17-hour battery handles long days in the saddle.
Who Is the Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 Best For?
Navigation-focused riders who want an intuitive interface. If that describes your riding style, the ELEMNT ROAM V2 should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Navigation & Electronics category alongside 7other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 95g and $350, the ELEMNT ROAM V2 is 26g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT v2 at 69g). The most budget-friendly option is the Garmin eTrex SE at $150.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $368 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
