A technology company with a mission to inspire & empower all people to unlock their athletic potential through cycling.
About us
The bicycle is a force of good in the world. From transportation to competition, cycling enhances the lives of everybody it touches, reliably making them healthier, fitter, and a better version of themselves. This quest for personal improvement and the benefits it confers are at the core of our mission at Hammerhead: Inspire & empower all people to unlock their athletic potential through cycling. Our first step towards this mission, H1, was an award-winning navigation device released in 2014. Simple, inexpensive, and inventive, the H1 used light patterns to give cyclists visual navigational directions without pulling their focus from what’s most important: the ride experience. In 2018, we released the Karoo 1, offering an elegant, visual solution to the shortcomings of existing GPS head units. Karoo combines a cutting-edge ruggedized hardware, and a responsive, full-color, high definition touchscreen with a user-friendly Android-based interface. This seamlessly integrates navigation, live data, and beautiful graphics that show you what you need to know quickly and without distraction. Our most recent step towards our mission is the Karoo 2. Released in 2020, the Karoo 2 packs all the software of the Karoo 1 into a lighter, smaller, more robust package. With additional hardware features, Karoo 2 will continue to unlock software potential in the years to come.

Designed alongside the all-new SRAM RED XPLR AXS, the Karoo unlocks an informed and enjoyable gravel ride experience with industry-leading maps and navigation, gravel-specific customizations, advanced connectedness, and the ability to completely control Karoo using the RED XPLR AXS Bonus Buttons. "One thing I *GREATLY* appreciate if using a Hammerhead Karoo, is just how damn smooth they’ve made this integration. I was totally ready to have to scan for all the components and such in the sensors menu, but the moment I powered it on, the Karoo automatically pulled them from SRAM AXS online, and populated my sensors menu – complete with the bike name and all. So good!” Read more about what DC Rainmaker has to say on the SRAM RED XPLR Gravel Groupset and Karoo Integration: https://lnkd.in/g2a4dMXY

Going where few media trips have gone before, four journalists, a photographer, a brand ambassador, our very own James Nixon, and KC&E Adventures guide crew packed their bags and headed to Morocco to traverse the untouched routes. With the all-new Karoo as their guide, they tested the product for four days as they cycled through the vast and ever-changing desert landscapes: "Where the Karoo truly shines is in its navigation capabilities. Powered by open-source maps and equipped with detailed turn-by-turn navigation, the device offers a seamless riding experience – even in the absolute middle of nowhere Morocco, where one couldn't tell north from south, the Karoo knew exactly where we were and never led us astray."

We are thrilled to have Karoo included in this year's Men's Journal Bike Month Shopping Guide: “After unboxing, we took the Karoo for a spin around Washington D.C. and then we headed over to Morocco. Navigating busy city streets with the Karoo was a breeze thanks to the route notification signal that altered us within a few meters–a noticeable improvement over another navigation systems. In the desert, the Karoo charted unmarked roads and mountain passes with ease. Whether relying on the Karoo to show directions or personal stats, switching screens was seamless.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gYfkaP82
