ATLANTA (BRAIN) — Wahoo Fitness has announced a new GPS bike computer model, the ELEMNT ROAM. The new model features a 2.7-inch screen, the same as the ELEMNT model, but an aero mounting system similar to that on its BOLT model. The ROAM also has a color screen and enhanced navigation features.
The new ROAM will retail for $379. The ELEMNT model is now reduced in price to $299 (from $349) and will be phased out over the next year. The BOLT continues in the line for $249 and the ELEMNT MINI is $99.
DCRainmaker already has his review posted. Yay for media blackouts:
