Wahoo ELEMNT ACE.
Wahoo's largest 3.8-inch touchscreen plus three buttons, an integrated wind sensor for real-time headwind and drafting data, and the brand's signature simple setup.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The ACE is Wahoo's premium statement — the largest screen in the category, the only integrated wind sensor on a mainstream bike computer, and deep structured-training support, all wrapped in Wahoo's signature simplicity. The honest caveats: it's big and heavy on the bars, real-world battery falls short of the 30-hour claim, and at $599 it competes with the more polished Edge 1050. It's the pick for Wahoo-ecosystem riders who want the newest technology and don't mind the size.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
3.8" Largest-in-Class Screen
Wahoo's first touchscreen — a 3.8-inch 16M-color TFT panel bigger than the Edge 1050's, paired with three glove-friendly physical buttons.
Integrated Wind Sensor
Measures air pressure to estimate headwind, tailwind, and drafting in real time — Wahoo Wind Dynamics, a feature no rival offers.
Dual-Band GPS + Training
Multi-constellation dual-band GPS, 64GB storage, and TrainingPeaks/Wahoo SYSTM workout push for on-bike interval execution.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
The wind sensor and largest-in-class screen earn praise, but the score is held back by the unit's size and weight, a real-world battery that falls short of the 30-hour claim, and a $599 price that competes directly with the more mature Garmin Edge 1050. The simpler ROAM covers most of the experience for less.

Global Critique
“The ELEMNT ACE lands with a wind sensor and increased battery life — the air-pressure sensor that gauges headwind and drafting is the genuine headline.”
“An XXL bike computer with the largest screen of the bunch, stacking up against the Garmin Edge 1050 and Hammerhead Karoo.”
“The wind sensor is clever and the screen is gorgeous, but it's a big, expensive computer — capable, yet not one most riders were asking for.”
