It would have been much more convenient to make the cap a physical part of the device. That cap, however, vibrates very easily and is therefore easily lost. If you buy one now, you get two separate rubber caps with it. In the first batch, this port had no cap or cover. The charging goes as it should via a USB C-port. If I swipe 10 times I'm still 1 or 2 times wrong. The touchscreen is otherwise acceptable, but certainly not outstanding. For many actions you can choose between touch or button: the best of both worlds. The Karoo has both a touchscreen and two buttons on each side.

Moreover, you must also look at battery life in the context of the competition. And as gran fondo riders are also sometimes on the bike for more than 10 hours. But consider that the number of ultra cyclists, bike packers, randonneurs is on the rise. And that is indeed true for 95% of cyclists. Now I hear you say: I never ride longer than 10 hours. I didn't get below 10% per hour in my tests. And that, of course, affects the battery. Just like a phone, the screen really needs backlight. The brightness and sharpness is fantastic, the colors are vivid and the screen is easy to read, even in full sun. The screen is the best on the market as far as I'm concerned. And with that we have immediately mentioned the big plus. The big advantage of this is that the Karoo has a much better screen. For the nerds among us, it is even possible to side load Android apps, though that is not officially supported. The device runs on Android, and it can accommodate a SIM card (though that's not mandatory, more on that later). What makes the Karoo 2 different from other bike computers is that it's actually a phone disguised as a bike computer. During this ride, the Di2 support was still working.

The Karoo 2 by Hammerhead is a head unit that has been on the market for about 2 years now.
