Bolt vs Roam
 
I've enjoyed my Wahoo Bolt for the past 35 months. A button quit working on it last week and Wahoo is offering me a 40% replacement discount on either another Bolt or on the Wahoo Roam.

Anyone else used both? Which do you prefer... and most importantly, WHY?

Thanks in advance,

Gary

I replaced my Bolt with the Roam. I like the Roam better because it’s a bit larger. This allows two extra fields on my main ride page. The color display is kind of cool too, but honestly makes very little difference.

The Bolt is definitely cheaper, lighter and (if you live in a wind tunnel) more aerodynamic. To me, the only real reason is that is much less expensive than the Roam.

To replace an Elemnt that I transferred to my wife's bike, I went with the Roam for the bigger/color screen and the glass vs. plastic screen. I'm glad I did, looks like many did as Wahoo is offering $30 off the Bolt but not the Roam! So, the Bolt is even cheaper now.
