– Added color-tied data fields (based on HR and power zones) – Increased colors to 64 colors (from 8 colors on the ROAM)

– Added full onboard routable mapping (like ROAM) Here’s the quick and dirty bulleted list of everything that’s different on the new Wahoo BOLT: In fact, one could argue it’s entirely different under the covers – hell, even the cover to the covers is different. While the BOLT V2 (which, is still technically just called the Wahoo BOLT, not V2), might look roughly similar from the outside, there’s actually quite a bit different under the covers.

If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. After which I’ll likely go out and buy my own for future use. Once this review is done, I’ll get it boxed back up and sent back to them. Note that for this review I’m using a media loaner from Wahoo. But I’ll dive into that later in the ‘Caveat’ section. I have yet to have a single cohesive ride without significant issues. Mostly because try as I might, things simply haven’t been usable for me. But today my peoples…today is most definitely not that day. Now about this point you’ve noticed the title isn’t (yet) “In-Depth Review” – at some point, it’ll get there. It’s also got one hardware feature the Wahoo ROAM doesn’t: USB-C charging.

It’s got full ANT+ & Bluetooth Sensor support, GPS/Galileo/GLONASS connectivity, structured workout support, turn by turn navigation, live tracking, the ability to make Star Wars icons for approaching cars with Varia radar, and phone/text integration. Nonetheless, the unit is just as full-featured as that ROAM (actually, more full-featured). Whereas if you were looking for new advanced features from Wahoo, this release doesn’t provide that. There are almost no new unique features that the ROAM didn’t have previously, so if you wanted a cheaper/smaller ROAM, then this is likely for you. All for $279USD ( compared to the ROAM’s $379). Wahoo then fixed that with the Wahoo ROAM two years ago, albeit in a larger and pricier form factor.īut now, the world is righted again, and the new Wahoo BOLT (it doesn’t have any different name) includes a full color screen, full maps, and basically, is a mini Wahoo ROAM. However, it lacked full onboard routable maps, as well as a color screen. Designed to be small and easy to use, it garnered many fans. The customer service was out of this world and I would send any business I possibly could to them.It’s been four years since the original Wahoo BOLT was announced, which was arguably Wahoo’s most important bike computer in terms of shifting consumers towards their offerings. I contacted Mark at Detours and he actually had one more set made for me before they closed up shop. When I needed my sliders, they had closed down for the month and I needed them IMMEDIATELY. The most impressive thing about Detours was the customer service. I've done my fair share of sliding on rocks and against trees and they offer superb protection. They came packaged well and had to be painted by me. They bolt on to the frame and act not only as a good slider, but as a good step too. I looked around a lot, but these were a good value and seemed sturdy. I purchased these sliders for my '05 Rubicon. Reviewer: A User from (Virginia Beach, VA) I would reccomend the detours DROP-KICKS to any jeep wrangler owner looking for a quality part to add to there jeep. All i can say is that there very well built and work great, being a welder myself the first thing i noticed was the guality of the welds, and they were very easy to install. Reviewer: A User from (Derby, CT)Īfter serching around for a set of rocker guards i came across the ones made by Mark at detours. This review is the subjective opinion of a JeepReviews user and not of.

Their easy to install as they require no drilling, and I can stand and jump on them. I then added several coats of a bed liner spray on top of the powder coating, and then a black gloss. They arrived in about three weeks (as their custom built) and were in perfect condition. The packaging for shipping was excellent. My wife also likes that she can step on them when getting in and out so it was a win win for the two of us.

I like that they stick out and protect the tub when driving around trees (which is a lot of what I do) or rocks. These are tough slyders and a great design to go along with Rubi rocker panels or similar.
