Great video you two!!!
Thank you!!
Great review guys. You’re touching on things no one else is covering. Actually Usability. Wahoo is rumored to launch something new very soon. Bonk Collective.
Thanks! We have not heard anything about new products, but there *should be* some new features on the way via firmware updates in the near future. 😉 Stay tuned!
Waiting on updated Wahoo
I am using Wahoo Element Bolt2 but I ordered Garmin Edge 840 Solar. I can't wait to get it on hand
Nice! Keep us posted on your thoughts!
Kewl guys!
Interested in hearing the hands-on follow-up review... maybe with heart rate and cadence bundle item inputs too?
I’m using the Wahoo Bolt V2, it’s great but annoying that Garmin and Wahoo can’t upload rides to each other. If I use my Garmin 955 watch for example, Garmin connect does not upload to the Wahoo Element app and vice versa. When using the Wahoo bolt and Strava then Strava as will pass it over to Garmin Connect….
Yeah, that's a big issue for me right now. I'm about to replace my existing fitness watch and computer and had pretty much decided on a Garmin watch and Wahoo Bolt, but come to find that getting the data from the Bolt to Garmin for overall fitness and activity tracking is a pain... Not what I'd wanted to hear.
@@ericharman4064 If you have Strava it behaves as the middle man...I like seeing all my data in Gamin so maybe I will sell the Wahoo Bolt and get the 540.
Just used my 840 today on a 16+ mile ride. I have to say the speed of pairing and control is impressive Climb pro didn't come on but my Karoo did. Maybe I need to go into the setting. It's speedy and great. Lot of stats. Connects to dI2, Rally Power, Polar HRM, Radar 515 and light and Garmin speed. Super duper. Love the integration with Garmin Connect and Strava and MyFitnessPal. Thanks.
For Climb Pro...
You have to go into settings and Select Climbs and ensure Climb Pro is selected. Also "Climb Detection" should be set to All Climbs (unless you only want Medium to Large Climbs. And "Mode" set to Always (or when Navigating, I guess that's on a course. I set mine to Always.
What a great objective review of these new products.
Question. How do I turn off autopause on my Wahoo Bolt Elmnt?
Thanks for watching! Regarding the Auto Pause feature on your Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, open the Elemnt app, connect it to your Bolt, select the settings gear icon on the bottom right section of the screen, and scroll down to the auto pause option under the "Ride" section. There, you can toggle off the auto pause. Good luck!
Excellent review, thank you Dialed. What I cannot comprehend is how maps/courses must still be downloaded with wire/computer instead of over Wifi.....Did a non-cyclist make this product??
Thank you for watching!
@@DialedCycling it is only full regional maps when traveling to a different country. courses routes and all that can easily be downloaded through the connect app.
Please make a comparison of garmin (x40) with wahoo (bolt/roam) v2. Wahoo has received a new update freeride Summit!
It’s a work in progress… Stay tuned!
Still waiting for the 130 to be updated. The 540 and 840 are just too much computer for my needs.
waiting on your comments on the app as hinted
I see that you are wearing a Whoop, does it broadcast heart rate successfully to these new devices?
Yep!
In the absence of seeing any demo units yet, I'm looking for clues on just how much screen brightness is sacrificed on the solar models. I know there's some loss, but until I know how significant it is, I'm not comfortable deciding on solar vs. non. Any insights❓
It’s not significant at all. Our only gripe about the screens would be the glare from the sun, which can make it difficult to see. This is one are where Wahoo computers shine. All in all, Garmin did a great job with these!
How Can I push gpx file from phone to garmin edge without internet connection? Anybody knows?
The Climbpro thing is really irritating. You climb on HR and power, maybe cadence, Climbpro screen comes up and masks all that data to give you a silly little picture which is meaningless in terms of effort management. And you need to push buttons to get rid of it. Then stupid little "hi 5" tunes when you get to the top. So California.
Totally agree. They take away data to do pacing. That’s so stupid.
BIAS Review.
How so?
Doesn't really seem that way.
