#KAROO 2 RIDE WITH GPS PLUS#
While this review isn’t a strict head-to-head comparison, when we recently reviewed the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus ( $600 on Amazon) , it was pretty clear that the Hammerhead Karoo 2 was (directly or indirectly) responsible for Garmin’s recent flagship upgrade. They are working hard to improve the user experience and add features to the device as quickly as possible while still maintaining a level of sophistication that is unusual for such a recent contender in a market dominated mainly by a single competitor. This is a lofty goal, and the company has a wide range of challengers, including computers from Garmin, Wahoo, Lezyne, and others.įortunately, the Karoo 2 has some groundbreaking features, and the company behind the Karoo 2 is aware of both the strengths and the weaknesses of the device. The Hammerhead Karoo 2, as the name suggests, is the second generation of a bike computer designed from conception to be “disruptive” and to change the playing. The second iteration of Hammerhead’s Karoo line brings a polish and sophistication the first model lacked. There are several areas where this first impression is correct, but its status as a newcomer still leaves it a bit rough around the edges. The screen is so much clearer, sharper, and brighter than any other computer I’ve used that it seems like the device is generations ahead of anything else. I will be re-reviewing the device in the spring.įor now, the majority of this article is correct, especially when it comes to operation and the comparisons to Garmin, so we will put a new editor’s note here when we have updated the piece.” Bike computer newcomer Hammerhead says their Karoo 2 is the best bike computer on the market-can it live up to the hype? Seeing Is Believingįor anyone using bike computers for a long time, turning on the Hammerhead Karoo 2 is an epiphany.
In the few short months since I wrote this piece, they’ve had several updates that address many the the key negative points in this article.

Hammerhead had pledged that they would constantly update the devices to improve the experience, and they did. Editor’s Note: Many of the points in this article are no longer valid, particularly the “cons” sections.
