Today I put the Strava iPhone App (v14.0.0) head to head with the Wahoo Elemnt BOLT GPS unit to see how well it performs against a dedicated bike computer/head unit. While the distance and time tracking were close, the GPS tracking was a little scrappy and the Bluetooth device pairing management with the iPhone app needs a lot of work before I’d call it user friendly.

How did the calories burnt accuracy compare in strava (assuming without power meter linked)?
What is the story of the Lama ?
have you updated this i wondering if strava is better now nice ride
you need to enable in iphone app the person seconds tracking to have better result
If your ride was in congested town streets, I think your average speed would be lower on Strava because my app takes long to auto pause every time I stop. Not sure how the moving time is calculated, though. Also Strava need to update the app to Support Dark Mode. Can’t believe everyone has done it before them.
Wish we had cycleways like that here 😐😂
Yeah.. Wahoo probably nice thing to have, but the price…
lord almighty please buy wireless phones
We have something like this in Boston
I have used it before it is so cool but I ran 10 Kayes it was so cool but I’m not in Perth I am in the Central Coast
I love this app I using it.
What’s people’s strava? I’ll do follow 4 follow
Would be interesting to do this comparison today now that the iPhone has better location sensors (Galileo) and also a built-in altmeter! =)
Bike computer are super expensive (for what you get). I mean for the price of a fu§$%in garmin you can get a supreme built smartphone.
They all a compromise. A high quality mix between garmin and wahoo would be nice…
at the end of my ride i hit it ask if you want to end your ride i am home noe when i hit yes end my ride it erase it everything
thanks Shane Miller
how it going i have a wahoo elmet bolt does it have total miles and how do i have my wahoo get on strava
I want to move to Perth 😁
Strava: You're also at mercy of the device itself. Next test would be 3 different devices running Strava.
Also Strava does have it's own algorithms that can be different from other devices e.g comparison between iconic fitbit watch and Strava on a S9 can have a variance.
It's 2019. Update?
Does the bike computer auto pause?
Did you have your speed sensor set to auto or manual?
thanks for posting this! awesome video
Very beautiful place
Wahoo fitness . Super .
Doesn't everyone already do this ?
Garmin's are sometimes flakey everyone should be doing this
Can you make review the road bike apps. I love that apps.
That's because iPhone sucks lol.
Good
Great video…..thanks a lot………hugs from Brasil
i love how many bike trails you have!!!!!
What an amazing ride, but hardly anyone else is on it?
They both use the same gps technology. No wonder at all 😃
Interesting vid
I’ve been using stabs on an iPhone for some time while riding with a mate who uses a garmin that he then loads to strata. On hilly rides he always shows more height gain than I do by about a third. Seemingly the opposite to what you found with the wahoo.
Super jealous of that bike path you have
great video
When it works the bolt is great but when it refuses to connect to my iphone and sometimes it doesn't upload to strava even when it should it just drives me crazy. I just wrestled with it for a couple of hours today to get it work and finally it just connected.. like I didn't even do much then.. It just connects when it wants. Also I just hate the constant in app log in to other apps. Need to connect to strava? Yup login.. in my case using facebook.. and if your fb app remembers your email and password.. nope.. wahoo app don't remember shit. Write everything again everytime. NOT AT ALL FRUSTRATING!
Really love the bike infra in your city, I'm so jealous, wish people here in Waterloo/Kitchener ON would build something like that.
Problema STRAVA-HUAWEI?

How about the bike course, heaven for cyclist.
There are dedicated cycling apps that are far better and more accurate than Strava. I use Cyclemeter and it is phenomenal! It’s not perfect, but no technology is. However, it is more comparable to the Garmin.
Phone goes to crap on the trails in woods
Thought that route looked familiar…..Perth can be very windy
