The only exception is that there is generally one great Black Friday Wahoo deal each year, although given how new the Elemnt Bolt is, it's unlikely you'll find it in anyone's Black Friday cycling deals.
As for availability, Wahoo did suffer at the hands of the pandemic early on, but it seems to be back up and running and availability seems generally very good. Sign up to the Cyclingnews Newsletter.

Our Verdict The best GPS computer Wahoo has made to date, and among the best currently on the market, but it still comes with its quirks. For - Map imagery is much more concise than Roam - Reworked buttons offer great tactility - Wahoo's same great app compatibility and connectivity - On-device workout offers multiple useful views - Near-infinitely customisable page layout and structure - Simplicity of loading route or workout - Simplicity of uploading rides to third party sites like Strava.
Against - Small screen size means it's still difficult to navigate by eye without a preloaded route - On-device navigation has no search function, making it difficult and time-consuming to locate your destination - Cannot scroll backwards through pages - Buttons still vague when wearing gloves.

On our first test ride a closed road meant we had to change direction and the Bolt v2 automatically took us around this.
On another occasion it was a little less successful, trying to take us back on to the route sooner than we wanted. This is a tricky thing to get absolutely right, no computer is ever going to know exactly what you have in mind when it chooses a detour, but Wahoo is getting closer with this effort and we look forward to it improving through further updates. One particularly noticeable improvement over the previous Bolt and Roam is that the Bolt v2 has 16GB of internal memory, which means it can store a lot more maps and routes as well as having onboard digital elevation data.
There is little lag when switching between pages, indicating that Wahoo has upgraded the internal processor, and this provides a far better user experience. Wahoo's app doesn't allow you to customise or create a detailed route, for that you'll need to use a third-party one such as Ride with GPS or Strava. These apps will then sync with Wahoo's, showing your created route within it and on the Bolt v2.
All in all, the mapping on the Bolt v2 is on another level compared the original. GPS lock on remains fast and we found everything to be easy to setup and follow. While some manufacturers offer data by the bucket load, Wahoo has set its stall out to concentrate on what it sees as the most important elements for training and cut out some of the lesser ones. Apps such as Trainer Road can export structured workouts to the Bolt v2, though you'll need a power meter to be able to follow those.
However, we still think that Wahoo needs to improve its elevation page, which is fiddly and not as readable as the excellent Garmin Climb page or the Hammerhead Karoo 2 's latest offering. The Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 is a truly excellent bike computer.
Its intuitive control makes it very easy to pick up and get riding with, while great mapping and a well curated dataset add to the experience. Now that the initial software reliability issues have been ironed out Wahoo has a product that offers a compelling upgrade to existing Bolt users and one that will win many converts too.
