What reviewers say about the Wahoo Elemnt Roam V2

Two whitelisted testers covered this exact model hands-on: DC Rainmaker's full in-depth review with multi-ride GPS testing, and Cycling Weekly's hands-on first look (which weighed the unit on their own scales). Both frame it as a modest but solid upgrade—multi-band/dual-band GPS, 64-colour screen, 32GB storage, USB-C, raised convex buttons—while flagging the unchanged 17-hour battery and no touchscreen. Non-whitelisted cycling outlets excluded. All quotes verified as literal substrings and all measured values confirmed in the fetched text.

Tested by DC Rainmaker, Cycling Weekly

Consistently praised

  • Multi-band/dual-band GPS improves accuracy; DCR calls it the cheapest multi-band bike computer available · 2 sources
  • Raised convex buttons far better than the old recessed ones, easier to press with gloves · 2 sources
  • 64-colour higher-contrast screen is easier to read · 2 sources
  • 32GB storage holds worldwide maps plus many routes · 2 sources
  • USB-C charging · 2 sources

Commonly flagged

  • 17-hour battery life unchanged, no solar option, behind Garmin · 2 sources
  • Still no touchscreen; button-only, and DCR found the interface a bit slow · 2 sources
  • 2.7in screen with a fat bezel feels small/clunky for the price
  • GPS acquisition was very slow for DCR (well over 2 minutes to find GPS under open sky), and it wandered in the toughest downtown high-rise canyon test despite multi-band

Where reviewers disagree DC Rainmaker is markedly more critical—arguing Wahoo has lost its 'mojo' and logging genuinely poor real-world results (over 2 minutes to acquire GPS under open sky, wandering in a downtown canyon sweep)—while Cycling Weekly's hands-on first look is upbeat, with its video manager concluding the positives massively outweigh the negatives. CW's brief first look never stress-tested GPS the way DCR did.

making it the least expensive multi-band GPS bike computer on the market
the Wahoo ROAM V2 suffered a fair bit here on the hardest of the three sweeps
Wahoo used to be pushing the boundaries of bike computers and features, but these days that mojo is simply gone.

Weight on their scales (claimed 93.5 g): 99 g

Those raised buttons make a massive difference and everyone is going to be really relieved to have those.
More colour on the screen - it does make it a lot easier to read
I'm a bit disappointed that Wahoo stuck at 17 hours.
