Fed 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…

great device and outstanding customer… great device and outstanding customer service bought the karoo2 about a year back and it's a great device. I use it for gravel rides and it's got a lot of useful functions, I love it. It got shipped very fast to Denmark from their hub in the Netherlands, and I also got great customer service. My gps mount broke, and they sent it back to me complimentary right away. After 2 days I was able to get out riding again. Highly recommended

Bought 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.

Excellent Customer Service Just have to say that the customer service provided by Sumit at Hammerhead UK has been superb. I purchased a Karoo 2 from an online seller and the device had an issue with auto-scrolling on menus which looked like it was due to a faulty button. After issues processing the return with the online seller I reached out to Hammerhead UK. They very kindly agreed to provide a replacement and this was completed in a matter of days. Can't comment on the new device as I've not used it yet but I wanted to recognise the excellent customer service that I received.

Masterclass 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.
