WAHOO ELEMNT BOLT

£249.99 It comes with a new colour screen and ‘Smart Navigation’ feature, but is Wahoo’s latest GPS bike computer worth the upgrade?

If there’s one thing that any piece of fitness tech needs to be, it’s easy to use. Fortunately, Wahoo’s new 16GB Elemnt Bolt ticks that box with aplomb. Mounting and setting up the new Bolt is an entirely painless process (you can even use the same mount as the original 2017 Bolt), with the brand’s user-friendly Elemnt app providing clear instructions.

Once connected with your phone, you have the usability of the Bolt at your fingertips. From the app, you can easily import GPX files, review previous rides, upload rides to compatible apps like Strava, and customise the data fields that your device displays.

Updates to navigation are where you’d expect the Bolt to really show its value, and it’s fair to say it does the job really well.
