Wahoo Elemnt Ace: Promising Bike Computer with Room for Growth

The Wahoo Elemnt Ace is a new GPS cycling head unit that introduces an integrated wind sensor, aiming to provide airspeed data and new metrics like "Wind Dynamics." While the device offers a large touchscreen, enhanced navigation, and a 30-hour battery life, its wind sensor faces challenges in wet conditions and may not yet be reliable for aero testing. The Ace's size and weight limit its mounting compatibility, and several features are deferred to future updates, raising questions about its current value at a high price point.

Wahoo Elemnt Ace: Innovative but Oversized Cycling GPS

The Wahoo ACE Cycling GPS, priced at $599, offers a large color touchscreen, a bike bell, and a wind sensor, but falls short on features and battery life. Despite its promising design, it lacks many functionalities found in previous Wahoo models and those advertised, such as live tracking and Strava Live Segments, which are expected in future updates. The device's battery life is significantly less than the claimed 30 hours, and its size and weight may be cumbersome for some users. Overall, the ACE feels unfinished and overpriced compared to competitors.
