Just announced, the new Hammerhead Karoo is the brand’s third generation head unit, and the first since being acquired by SRAM. And as you might expect, there are several new features to better integrate with SRAM components, along with a few other noteworthy upgrades and a new companion app. In our first-look review, Neil unpacks all the details and compares it to several other devices…

Modern slick UI is great but I love my wahoo screen, it’s the Game Boy of bike computers ❤ The intro made my day 😂

Great cold open. I get the impression there are still some conversations with family members that sound like this.

I ditched my Garmin 530 for a Karoo 2. Although battery life is really short compared to the Garmin (anyway never too short to run out before the end of any of my rides), the overall experience is next level ! Garmin feels really old compared to what you get from Karoo.

Random question, What's the brand of your shirt? Looks 👌

Great stuff Neil 😂

appreciate it Dave.

@PuddyIzzy Месяц назад

Yep.

@crapweasel17 Месяц назад

Love Karoo but not sure this update adds enough to get me to upgrade at that price point. If they offered a trade-in like they did when Karoo 2 first came out I might consider.

@tonyg3091 Месяц назад

Good. Hope this will spur Garmin to release Edge 1050, it is about time. Competition is a wonderful thing.

@teunluijbregts2533 Месяц назад

Loved the review 👍 Nice unit but from my perspective, the real improvements are the speed, bright screen and the improved battery life. Don’t want an app if the CGM doesn’t integrate. But no program for long time users (myself a customer since their kickstarter project) so I guess Hammerhead is grown up now. Time to let go of Hammerhead and get a Garmin or something Chinese.

Can you even imagine if BikePacking Bob did a collab with Backwards Hat Dylan Johnson

Your reviews have gotten me back in the Saddle with a gravel bike after 30 years. Completely unrelated, what brand of fleece or wool shirts do you wear in your videos like the brown one in this. I've tried to find a label on every one but can't seem to identify them.

@JakeLuke308 Месяц назад

Battery life is my prime concern in all of these units. I'm hoping that Wahoo is working on a solar charging unit so I don't need to learn an entirely new OS. My Wahoo got me through a 94 mile/ 10+ hour final day on a bikepacking route last year, while in route following mode, and I only had 4% battery left. I was concerned it would loose power before I got back to my truck. While I most likely wont do much longer than 94 miles on a ride, I can't guarantee I wont either. Bob's map & compass method does have it's merits. That method will work until the Earth's core stops spinning. And if that happens we will have much bigger things to deal with than "where am I heading?".

Thanks for the video. I see the CPU is slower than an Android smartphone from 2014, no thanks! Saved my money.

@davido2513 Месяц назад

At what point does the price + feature set work out to be a worse smartphone? If the main appeal is the slick UI, is there not some mobile app that can match (and surpass) these features?

@JesseStarrPhoto Месяц назад

Phones don’t work with Ant+ sensors and are usually too big of a device to have on your handlebars if you are a performance rider.

@mattcarter2902 Месяц назад

Not to mention if you wipeout id rather damage a plastic 500 dollar bike cpu rather than my 1500 smartphone

@rhenceocampo3253 Месяц назад

I’ll wait when wahoo releases their solar bike computer. I’m in way too deep in their ecosystem. Buy what you need now, but save later for better.

@lucasht09 Месяц назад

Nice device, the real problem is with you do another activities on Garmin watches, and would prefer use the data on the garmin platform, will not makes sense.

@nycon2k Месяц назад

Still possible to sync between platforms with an app like rungap. So you are able to use the preferred watch and bike computer. Rungap also fakes (for the import) to garmin it is a garmin device and therefore you get all the metrics in training-load,... 😉

@lucasht09 Месяц назад

@@nycon2k I haven’t found on rungap site anything related to import to garmin connect your activity from another device, only compile all your activities from several platforms, which you can do with Strava ou TP as well

@kieranbarry8193 Месяц назад

as an avid K2 user and fan ive been looking forward to the K3 release for ages and was pretty much set to pull the trigger....and then, this release! Basically seems very meh....battery life still minimal, no solar, screen mildly better, 90£ more!! The only really good feature is i think the app and its criminal if they dont allow their current K2 users to use it!

@outtatrex Месяц назад

Thanks but no thanks, you can never go wrong with maps and compass !

@marcclish Месяц назад

Have they been asleep for the last few year? I expected this to be a great upgrade considering the time elapsed from the Karoo 2... What a disappointment.

@paulharmsen3187 Месяц назад

Cool and all, but the battery life is horrible. Screen brightness has to be on max to read it in daylight, and with a few sensors connected it will be empty in about 10-11 hours.
