GBExceptional customer service response to Karoo 2 issue As with others - just wanted to recognise that Hari and the Hammerhead team were absolutely brilliant in responding to an issue I had with my Karoo2. They went way above and beyond the call of duty in helping out and sorting out an issue I was experiencing. Beyond that, they were extremely generous in resolving a separate matter. This isn't the first time that Hammerhead have responded in this way, and it is a key reason why I choose to stay with the Hammerhead ecosystem. Thank you all so much!

GBBought a karoo2 two weeks ago Bought a karoo2 two weeks ago, battery life was very bad.Contacted customer service which I believe is in India and those agent were not interested to arrange a refund instead,they were forcing me to go through troubleshooting which I have already done but to no avail and when insisted for a refund ,I'm still waiting for their reply and very disappointed with the unit.Got a Garmin 1030 plus which is way better and user friendly.Karoo has been hyped up with lots of adverts,don't fall for their trap.

GBMasterclass in Comms & Customer Experience Being a young and small company building its production and logistics capabilities, its taken a few months for them to ship product - the Karoo 2 -at scale. At first, I was a little worried. But I shouldn't have been. This company has delivered a masterclass in how you maintain quality and trustworthy communications to keep you informed of where you stand in line for your product delivery. They set realistic expectations and even beat them. The product packaging and unboxing experience beats that of much more mature companies. And then the product itself works right out of the box. If you are coming from a Garmin, then the fact this just works as well as offering a 'next-gen' product experience, it feels like 2007 all over again when I moved from a Microsoft phone to an Apple iPhone. No more slow, clunky interface. And Garmin is notoriously unreliable and their software quality poor. I'm coming from a 1030 Plus, and its no competition. The Karoo 2 is a disruptive product that will hopefully push the overall market to step up its game. And with a customer experience to match, these guys deserve to succeed.

GBPoor The fact that the 5 star reviews all seem to be customer service related doesn't bode well. Trip computers don't need customer service. I have a Karoo 2. It's badly thought through and is forever scuppering my attempt to record rides. It's real "emperor's new clothes" territory. Avoid.

GBKaroo really look after their cutomers I have had this excellent cycling computer for about a year, and always love updatng it to see what new features are available. Over the weekend i updated the software and device locked and stopped responding. Hari at support was helpful and suggested few things to try and resolve the issue. In the end he authorised a replacment unit which arrived in just 2 days. Happy cycling again!
