Garmin launches new Edge 530 and Edge 830 computers

Following hot on the heels of the launch of the new Garmin Edge 530 and Edge 830 earlier this week, the new Wahoo Elemnt ROAM features a 2.7” colour screen versus the Garmin Edge 530 and 830 2.3" screens although unlike the Garmin Edge 830, the new Wahoo is not touch screen. Wahoo claim the new unit has a 17+ hour battery life.

The Wahoo Elemnt ROAM features a number of new navigation features including ‘Get Me Started’ and ‘Back On Track’, which takes riders to the start of a predetermined route and back to the route if a wrong turn is taken, respectively.

Wahoo say the new computer comes with a free and easy-to-use smartphone app for initial setup and ongoing management, while the computer also features connectivity through Wahoo and non-Wahoo smart trainers, heart rate monitors and speed sensors through ANT+ and Bluetooth connections.

In a press release from Wahoo, CEO and founder Chip Hawkins said: “As more cyclists are using their bikes to explore lesser-trafficked areas, or navigating while riding new roads or trails, we are so excited to offer ROAM, a computer purposefully designed to meet the challenges of cyclists around the world, especially navigating while riding.

“With ROAM, we’ve taken our proven, intuitive and easy-to-use platform, loved by all kinds of riders, and added features to create a powerful new tool that cyclists can use to guide them on every kind of ride.”

The Wahoo Elemnt ROAM is available now from WahooFitness.com and priced at £299.99 / US$379.99 / €349.99 / AUS$599.95.
