Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT v2 — Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other navigation & electronics in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
Wahoo's BOLT v2 is an aerodynamic GPS computer with a 2.2-inch color display and dual-band GNSS. Route navigation syncs seamlessly from the companion app, and the LED indicators along the top edge provide intuitive turn-by-turn alerts without looking at the screen.
Who Is the Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT v2 Best For?
Riders who value simplicity and seamless phone-to-device route syncing. If that describes your riding style, the ELEMNT BOLT v2 should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Navigation & Electronics category alongside 10 other products we track.
How It Compares
At 69g and $280, the ELEMNT BOLT v2 is 14g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Sigma ROX 11.1 EVO at 55g). The most budget-friendly option is the Garmin eTrex SE at $150.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $406 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
What We Like
- +Dead-simple setup through the companion app
- +LED turn indicators visible at a glance
- +Lightest GPS computer in its class at 69g
- +Aero-optimized mount design
Watch Out For
- −Small screen size limits map detail
- −On-device route creation not possible
- −Battery life shorter than Garmin competitors at 15 hours
The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT v2, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 69g, $280, and how both sit against every other navigation & electronics product we track.
The price and weight above have not yet been checked against the manufacturer's own page. We are working through the catalogue and saying so as we go, rather than letting silence imply otherwise.
Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
How it compares
Against the 11 navigation & electronics we hold published specs for.
At 69g the ELEMNT BOLT v2 is lighter than 9 of 10 alternatives we track, which makes it among the lightest we track. The category median is 93g.
At $280 it undercuts 6 of 10 of them, against a median of $350. That works out at $406 per 100g — above the $368 median for navigation & electronics.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
