Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM 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.
The ROAM V2 is purpose-built for navigation with a color touchscreen and turn-by-turn directions. The dual-band GPS is accurate even in dense tree cover. Route sync from your phone is seamless, and the 17-hour battery handles long days in the saddle.
Who Is the Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 Best For?
Navigation-focused riders who want an intuitive interface. If that describes your riding style, the ELEMNT ROAM 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 95g and $350, the ELEMNT ROAM V2 is 40g 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 $368 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
- +Color touchscreen with maps
- +Dual-band GPS for accuracy
- +17-hour battery life
- +Seamless phone route sync
Watch Out For
- −Expensive at $350
- −Map detail less than Garmin
- −Touchscreen can be finicky with wet gloves
The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM 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: 95g, $350, and how both sit against every other navigation & electronics product we track.

Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
What it packs down to
Wahoo publishes a packed size of 3.2" x 2.1" x 0.8", which is 0.1 litres as a folded block. Of the 55 bags we track that publish a capacity, 55 have room for it and 0 do not.
Volume is computed from Wahoo's own packed size, treating a two-dimension figure as a stuff sack. Bag capacities are the makers' published figures, not ours — 12 of the bags we hold dimensions for publish no capacity and are left out of the count rather than assumed. A stuff sack does not reshape itself, so read the headroom as room to spare rather than a guarantee it goes in easily.
How it compares
Against the 11 navigation & electronics we hold published specs for.
At 95g the ELEMNT ROAM V2 is lighter than 4 of 10 alternatives we track. The category median is 93g.
At $350 it undercuts 4 of 10 of them, against a median of $350. That works out at $368 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.
