The new generation Elemnt Bolt and Elemnt Roam should be in line with the Elemnt Ace, so that it is easier to recognise that everything is one family again. The synchronisation of routes and training sessions should be significantly faster, comparable to the Elemnt Ace. So you can start straight away without having to wait a long time for the required data to be available. The user interface has also been redesigned.

Sandra Schuberth, sometimes an after-work ride, sometimes a training ride, sometimes an unsupported bikepacking challenge. The main thing is her and her gravel bike - away from the traffic. Seven Serpents, Badlands or Bright Midnight: she has finished challenging bikepacking races. Gravel and bikepacking are her favourite subjects, and her demands on equipment are high. What she rides, uses and recommends has to stand the test of time: not in marketing, but in real life.
