GBFed up with workarounds The unit has multiple shortcomings but I guess these may be different for what you are using it for. I test the basics against an old but super reliable and functional Lezyne Mega C. It sends a live tracking email - Karoo can’t. You have to text a weblink. Lezyne permits a cadence (only) Bluetooth link but Karoo can’t - it takes speed and distance bundled with cadence and then conflicts with its own speed and distance measures - so speed and distance stop at random intervals and gives erroneous data. Lezyne displays a simple clear graphic of the SRAM shifter position. Karoo displays numbers… Lezyne is inexpensive and ‘just works’ Karoo 2 is expensive and needs constant tinkering or workarounds for you to try to justify the costs. Unfortunately I was well through my 45 days when I acquired my new modern ebike with lots of Bluetooth and Ant+ sensors. I have to unpair these to get any sense from Karoo 2. Am just wearied with it…

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.

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.

DKI am a very happy Karoo 2 user I am a very happy Karoo 2 user, for one year. I had some questions, got quick and qualified answers, so I bought Karoo 2. For me, the Karoo 2 was, by far, my best buy the last couple last years. I have used several other cycling computers, but no one matches the Karoo
