Hammerhead established a team of highly disciplined professionals devoted to perfecting their skills to develop the finest product in the cycling navigation industry. They have no desire to stretch themselves too thin to offer a wide variety of items that pushes the boundaries of their respective categories. Hammerhead strives to make items that they believe will be the greatest in its class, and Karoo 2 is their sole focus.
"So far, I'm very happy with the Karoo 2. The touchscreen truly is "smartphone quality" and responds exactly as you would hope. In my last road race, I preloaded the course and found that the Karoo's turn-by-turn directions and mapping were much better than those of Garmin or Wahoo. Syncing with my accessories was easy and the Karoo 2 paired beautifully with my Di2 shifters. The only issue I found is that completed activities do not sync with Strava via a Bluetooth connected smartphone (like Wahoo and Garmin both do) and instead requires Wi-Fi or a SIM card – hopefully this is something that Hammerhead will fix soon with their regular software updates. Overall, I’m pleased with the quality of this bike computer and would recommend to any rider looking for great navigation, easy device pairing, and a deluxe screen."
