Wahoo ACE In-Depth Review: The Beast or Unbaked?

After years of waiting, we’ve finally got a new Wahoo cycling GPS - and it’s a beast. At least, in terms of size and weight. And in the future, Wahoo also hopes in terms of features and position in the market. The new unit sports a full color touchscreen display, roughly similar to that of cell phones, while also including a speaker, bike-bell, and wind sensor. Of course, like other high-end bike computers introduced this year, it also includes a much higher price tag - $599USD.Unfortunately, to spoil this review - it’s half-baked at best. It’s missing a vast array of features that previously existed on every other Wahoo bike computer to date, and the battery life falls far short of claims. I’d argue this is the perfect product to see which reviewers are actually riding with it, versus just taking pretty shots of it.But, we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I’ve been riding the crap out of it, everything from near-daily 3-4 hour rides, to mountain biking, structured workouts, gravel riding, and more. All with the goal of figuring out what actually works.
