    Karoo 2 FAQs

    Karoo 2 is a cycling computer that helps you get more from your rides. The most detailed and accurate maps and navigation unlock unparalleled exploration, and its stunning high definition touchscreen gives you the best visuals to check performance metrics or compete virtually via live Strava segments.
    LEARN MORE
    We built the Karoo 2 because, as cyclists, we believed the cycling computers available on the market were a decade behind where they should be.

    As we stripped down the concept of a cycling computer and reimagined what it could do, our focus was always on how it could improve the act of cycling, delivering powerful features that make each and every ride an excellent experience. The result is a device that uses cutting-edge technology to unlock software solutions that enhance every aspect of your ride, from the pre-ride planning, through the in-ride experience, and all the way to post-ride analysis.

    With the highest quality screen available on any cycling computer, mapping and navigation that brings new levels of detail and accuracy, constant software updates that keep it leading the pack, and on-board cellular connectivity, the Karoo 2 unlocks a whole new world of cycling.

    LEARN MORE
    Karoo 2 is built on a fiberglass-filled high-impact polycarbonate chassis with interlocking protective shells and weather-resistant gaskets and ports that give it an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It has been rigorously tested for shock, vibration, and environmental fatigue making it a benchmark for durability and ruggedness.

    The unit measures 100.45 x 60.25 x 19.5mm and weighs 130.8 grams. The Hammerhead mounting system weighs 35.8 grams.

    It has the highest resolution for a bike computer screen at 3.2” Inch multi-point capacitive touchscreen.

    The total storage capacity is 32 GB and about 3GB is reserved for the operating system and default applications, the rest is there to support your maps and data!

    Karoo 2 has a Quad-core 1.1Ghz, CPU with 2GB of RAM. This ultra-fast yet ultra-efficient processor delivers smooth operation and data visualization.

    The product has also been tested to ensure that prolonged or intense UV exposure does not discolor or degrade the materials.

    The unit has been reliability tested for operation between -15°C and 55°C. We decided to keep the industrial design clean and the options for external power easier. The unit is IP67 Water-resistant and the USB-C Cover provides your Karoo 2 with extra resistance to mud, rain, salt, and more.

    Reminder - Do Not charge the unit in wet conditions or if the charging port is full of moisture. See: Charging Karoo 2

    The team at Hammerhead has developed a new bracket design that we feel is truly best in class and represents the future of bracket technology. However, as cyclists, we realize that our customers may have custom mounts, multiple bikes, or other mount restrictions.

    To assure your Karoo 2 is backwards compatible, we include a Quarter-turn adapter (fits on all Garmin compatible mounts) as a thank you to each customer.
