Hammerhead Karoo 2 – Images & New Interface

Hammerhead Karoo 2 - First 'leaked' Images

Here are a few ‘leaked’ images via GCN of the Karoo 2 which show a stylised, smaller format than the original Karoo. (GCN Video link)

‘New Look’ Interface

Here are some screen dumps from the new Karoo 2 interface. The ‘new’ screen looks nearly identical to the Karoo 1, in many cases, it just looks to me like the font is a bit bigger plus some minor screen flow changes and mapping tweaks. Have a look and see what you think, whatever the breadth and depth of the exact changes this is still a sweet-looking thing of biking beauty.

I’ve covered most of the important Karoo 1 firmware releases as they happened over the last couple of years, have a look below to see how some of the more material changes have progressed over time. It’s a series of impressive, incremental improvements.

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
  • Ravemen FR300 — Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
  • Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
  • Maurten — The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — A radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch. I use this model.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — The power-meter pedals most serious cyclists choose. Accurate, easy to move between bikes. I use this model.
  • Garmin Forerunner 970 — A serious choice for a pro-grade triathlon watch. I use this.
  • Polar H10 — My daily driver for accurate, waking HRV readings.
  • Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 — The bike computer that has the feature Garmin lacks: usability. I use mine on most rides.
