Looks like you can use the referral program to get a free HRM included (https://www.hammerhead.io/pages/refer-a-friend) which I unfortunately did not see before ordering.

Not to cause a stir, just genuinely interested, but what is different/better between this and say the Garmin 530/540/830/840?

To be honest any of those would be cool, but I went for the Karoo 2 for my own very specific  (and probably not even 100% correct) reasons:

1. Predictive climb, whereas on Garmin you need to be following a route

2. Free global maps versus Garmin only with one area

3. I like supporting smaller brands and find value in having something different than the rest

4. Garmin ecosystem is a bit like Apple - once you get in, it tends to be amazing as long as you stick inside the ecosystem

5. At this special price, the Karoo is cheaper than all the Garmin offerings, while being comparable in many ways to the top spec Garmin units (except for battery life, where Garmin wins hands down)

6. Supposedly the screen is amazing, but not a real differentiator for me

Hammerhead outfront mount is ****, be very careful. It's terribly fragile. The forums are rife with complaints about it.

No longer a differentiator, Garmin does this now.

I'm on a public WA group, and the one participant claims he's the only distributor for Brooks saddles. I showed them the ODO ad, which got him to say just that. I wonder whether he's going to take action. I wonder what he could do?

Not particularly good prices...
