The Wahoo Elemnt is receiving much-deserved attention for its revolutionary approach to bicycle computers.<\/h5>\n

The computer joins forces with your smartphone to deliver unlimited functionality and customization through its companion app. Even more impressive, the Elemnt’s intuitive interface is straightforward to use and the effortless set up is so quick you\u2019ll be riding in minutes.<\/p>\n

Wahoo Elemnt\u00a0in Velo News:<\/h2>\n

The Elemnt went head to head against other leading GPS bike computers in a recent Velo News shootout, and we\u2019re delighted to report it blew away its competition! The Wahoo computer outranked the industry staples including Garmin, Polar and Lezyne.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from Velo\u00a0News:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Elemnt immediately impresses, thanks to its seamless data transfers and simple customization, both accomplished through a companion smartphone app that connects to the unit via Bluetooth. There\u2019s a lot going on here \u2013 Turn-by-turn guidance, data pages galore, and notifications for calls, texts and emails. Thankfully, the latter can be turned off. And all the rest can be made as complex or as simple as you want, thanks to the virtually limitless customization options available via the app. Auto-sync rides with Strava, download routes, create a data screen for your various climbing data fields for example. It\u2019s up to you. Big buttons allow for straightforward navigation, and while the unit is a bit on the bulky side, the big screen is easy to read. The nine-hour battery life is on the short side, but we think the sleek interface makes the Elemnt worth the extra charge time.<\/p>\n
