WAHOO News: ELEMNT Bike Computers and Radar Flashlight

The long-awaited update for Wahoo computers and rear lights has arrived — and queues quickly formed for the new devices. We've restocked them multiple times already. This update completes the ELEMNT family refresh, which began last year with the launch of the ELEMNT Ace computer featuring a touchscreen and wind resistance sensor. If you're considering whether to get the third-generation Element Roam or Bolt computers, or the updated TRACKR rear radar light, we’re here to answer your questions and help you find the best solution for your needs.

Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V3 – for speed-focused riders

This computer is built for serious athletes who save watts with every pedal stroke — that’s how Wahoo presents the Elemnt Bolt V3. It's aerodynamic and functional, ensuring every training session is as efficient as possible. What sets the new Wahoo Fitness Elemnt Bolt V3 GPS bike computer apart from its predecessor?

• Brighter, full-color screen;
• Smarter route planning and navigation;
• Up to 20 hours of battery life (previous version: up to 15 hrs);
• Improved aerodynamics — weighing just 84 grams;
• WiFi connectivity support.

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V3 – for long-distance rides

For those who not only train but also tour, there’s the Wahoo Elemnt Roam V3 GPS bike computer. Compared to the second generation, the new Roam offers several upgrades:

• Touchscreen display: brighter, more vibrant, and adaptive to lighting for perfect visibility in any conditions (even in the rain);
• New processor ensures smoother performance and faster response times;
• Upgraded map system and on-screen navigation;
• Built-in bell function to alert other road users with a screen tap;

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V3 vs. Bolt V3 comparison

The new Wahoo bike computers open up a wide range of possibilities for cyclists, no matter your riding surface or goals. If you’re choosing between these two latest Wahoo models, here’s a key features comparison to help you decide:

Wahoo TRACKR radar tail light – for safer rides

More cyclists means safer roads. The Wahoo TRACKR radar tail light allows you to both see and be seen, reducing the stress of sharing the road with cars. This radar detects vehicles approaching from behind and sends real-time alerts directly to your ELEMNT computer, helping you stay aware without taking your eyes off the road ahead.

Main TRACKR features:

• Radar detects vehicles up to 150 meters away and displays warnings on your Wahoo computer;
• Multiple lighting modes including daytime mode for maximum visibility;
• Fully compatible with ELEMNT Roam, Bolt, Ace computers, sports watches, and the Wahoo smartphone app;
• Up to 20 hours of battery life in slow-flash mode;
• Rechargeable via USB-C.

Wahoo app – everything under one ecosystem

The Wahoo cycling ecosystem includes not only computers but also Wahoo indoor trainers (such as Kickr Core and Kickr Move), heart rate monitors (TICKR), and power meter pedals (Powrlink Zero). The system also includes Wahoo computer sensors and accessories that allow for even more detailed ride data. All of these Wahoo devices are now integrated into the single Wahoo app (no longer requiring the separate ELEMNT app), where you can manage your devices, sync data, update firmware, and track all your ride metrics in one place. The app also integrates with third-party platforms like Strava, Komoot, TrainingPeaks, and more.
