The Hammerhead Karoo 2 was one of our very favorite machines to have out on unfamiliar rural roads in the mountains. It's really easy to get caught up in the glitz or a fancy presentation, but this device is so much more than a flashy screen. It's the computer of Chris Froome and the Israel Start-Up Nation professional cycling team for a reason. The phone-inspired design is certainly a big part of that. Its touchscreen has the natural responsiveness of a smartphone, and its Android 8 OS &#40;sorry iFolks!&#41; ensures it uses an intuitive interface familiar to most smartphone users. It's definitely a device for early adopters who know their way around troubleshooting software or devices without having their hand held over the phone. Once some of the potential hurdles are cleared, it's a sweet beast with lots of potential and more functionality coming online all the time. Perhaps the group to love it the most is the explorer group. Anyone who relies on maps and navigation to find new routes will find the rich colors and clear, easy to manipulate maps and directions irresistible. It's hard to go back to nav on other devices once you've used the Karoo 2.
The most difficult thing about the computer is the initial setup with updates and the integrations. A lot of other cycling computers lean on their apps to help with setup and integrations with 3rd parties. For the Karoo 2, the head unit is the main node for that. The app has very little functionality, which seems like efficient streamlining, but ends up causing some headaches.

 As i've mentioned, the app mostly exists to seemingly send notifications from your phone to the device, and this device can handle a whole load of notifications from lots of different types of platforms. For example, it gets all of the google suite notifications. If you want to get your emails when you're out riding, but it all can also get facebook messenger, which is probably more useful, although i would say be careful because when i connected to this phone, i just started getting notifications like crazy. When i was riding along - and actually you know - that's not for everyone - let's just let's just put it like that - the app itself, although limited, clearly has lots of potential, and it wouldn't surprise me if hammerhead made greater use of this in the future, they just haven't Done it quite yet, moving on to battery life, as i mentioned before, it charges via a usbc port, which has the benefit of a fast charging system, so 30 minutes charge in the wall socket will give you 30 battery an hour will give you 50, and it Takes just three hours to get a full charge now this has bags of potential for when you're bike packing, for example, or doing overnight trips, it just makes it that bit easier to charge up the claimed battery life by hammerhead is 12 hours, although in our experience We'Ve probably got closer to eight hours, depending on, of course, the temperature you're riding in the length of your ride and how many sensors you have working with the computer costing 359 pounds

 It has its own outfront mount, which i'll admit, is a little bit agricultural in its design, although it does provide a very solid connection with the device, but the way it really wins is it provides you with this, which is a garmin mount adapter. So this plugs into the back of the device and then that can plug into any garmin mount. You have, whether that is garmin's own out front mounts or a cage mount that you might have bought separately. That'S a really neat little trick and i absolutely love it

 Today, i'm going to give you my review open up the good looking box and you'll find the device in the first shelf and then you'll pull out the shelf below and then a draw very well engineered box, and in here you'll have a charging, cable and lanyard. The out front mount an allen key and also the adapter for a garmin out front mount. This is something that crew does, which is really smart. Is it allows you to hook it up to whatever your garmin mount is all of the setup of the hammerhead? Kuru 2 is actually done on device, which is slightly different to say the garmin edge 830, which offers you a blended option of either set up on the device or setup via your phone and the wahoo element roam, which is all set up completely on your phone

 Computer, the ham head crew 2 is a chunky device. When you look at it, it's closer to a garmin edge 830, although it is certainly wider, it has more depth to it and it is marginally larger than a wahoo element. Rome, although the bezel on the screen, is compatible to both of those, as i mentioned before, the hammerhead opts for a blended button and touchscreen setup, and the device has four buttons on each side. The top left and top right don't actually do anything when you're on the home screen

Hammerhead Karoo 2 Review | Cycling Weekly

For the test I used the GW4 44mm BT and a Hammerhead Karoo 2 bike GPS paired with a Garmin chest strap to track distance, elevation, speed and heart rate. The ride data from my Karoo 2 was first uploaded to Strava, then synced to Samsung Health. The result show that the GW4 was very consistent with the data tracked by the Karoo 2 and Garmin chest strap. For some reason the graphs for the Karoo 2 are very smoothed out in Samsung Health, but I think this happened when the data synced from Strava to Samsung Health because the graphs do not look like that on Strava

For some reason the graphs for the Karoo 2 are very smoothed out in Samsung Health, but I think this happened when the data synced from Strava to Samsung Health because the graphs do not look like that on Strava. This is only my first test but I'm happy with the results so far.

Side by side cycling workout results from the GW4 and a bike GPS paired with a heart rate chest strap. See comments for details.

 I mean who really wants a sim card for their bike? Gps, i sure, as hell don't from a market positioning perspective, the hammerhead kind of occupies its own place with just a single product available priced at 639 dollars, which is the same bracket as the garmin edge. 830 and the wahoo element vault with some variants, depending on your local market prices, and i would honestly say i prefer the kuru 2 over both the 830 and the element. Rome. I just didn't really care for the 830s hardware and the element rome feels too expensive, especially compared against the bolt v2

 This is currently on 100 right now, if you want it to be visible in the bright sun and that really eats into the battery life, so i think 10 to 11 hours is a reasonable expectation. If you're, a heavy user with navigation and backlight on and 10 to 11 hours is only really okay, it's sort of decent for a big screen sort of flagship size, gps. But it's really not that good. When you look across the market, my least favorite part of the hardware, though, is the sim card slot in the back

 For simple usability from a living with it perspective, this is just a damn: nice gps. It'S also really nice. When you're out on the bike, there's bike profiles, people who like to tie different data screens to a particular bike with different sensors. You get an elevation tracking system called climber, which pops up to give you data on noteworthy climbs on your route and there's the standard variety of automatic features

The hammerhead karoo ii easily the most hyped bike, gps ever and the great hope for breaking the garmin and wahoo duopoly. How does it stack up and should you buy one well after about nine months of using one, i'm ready to give my final thoughts? Let'S start with the kuru 2's hardware and it's my favorite overall package of any gps with nice slim profile, quite small bezels, a well implemented, touch screen physical buttons, all around the edge and usbc charging. It'S really hard to go back from a big screen: gps once you've gotten used to them, so don't be afraid that it'll feel too large. If you buy one, if you're already used to something that's a little bit smaller now, i've always been fairly hostile to small touchscreen gps's, because they're, just such a damn pain to use

Hammerhead Karoo 2 - LOOOOONG term review

Sort of. I trialled an Edge 530 last week from my local bike shop and will be putting my Bolt V2 on eBay.

One reason I ask this is because of how large the Garmin family is. I wanna get the Bolt but I’m not sure if im missing something. Like does a Garmin cycling computer have a wider range of device it’s compatible with that make a difference. Are there features that I don’t know about with a Garmin that I would miss if I got the Bolt. An example being that I got a fitbit sense and only recently did I find out that Strava does register HR data from the fitbit

Anybody Regret Buying Wahoo Bolt

Every 2021 best of list has the same several computers arranged in a different way, I have no idea which one to buy… Primarily want one that records rides, displays current speed, etc, and can navigate to a spot with directions (similar to being in a car.) I always have my phone with me on rides (that seems to make a difference with some?)… I seem to be leaning towards the Garmin edge 530 and element bolt v2 but neither have a touch screen, is that a big loss? Other more expensive computers seem to be overkill for my basic wants out of this thing? Ease of use (I’m moderately tech savvy), clear navigation display, and accurate non glitchy reading most important… Thanks in advance!

Which cycling computer to buy?

I‘m looking for a head unit and I think a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt/Roam would be the best fit for me, I‘m just really hesitant to buy one right now because I feel like they should be releasing something new any minute now. 
They released the Bolt in spring 2017 and the roam in spring 2019 so naturally spring 2021 would sound logical for a new device?
Also the Bolt isn’t available on their website anymore which makes me suspicious..
What do all of you think? Should I wait a little longer?

What device for tracking distance, speed, fitness etc?

I’m looking for recommendations on bike computers. Trying to decide between the garmin, Karoo, or Wahoo. I’m interested in mapping out my rides in advance and following the directions. I’ve heard garmins are really clunky with this feature. Any thoughts?
