DieselnDust Posted January 19, 2022 Share Lance is also an investor in Hammerhead and was /is a small shareholder in SRAM too. He seems to have a knack of f minding a good investment. Maybe The Move can also do investment podcasts DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted January 20, 2022 Share So when does that mean we can purchase over here? Thing looks dope. They have a pretty nifty comparison tab on their website where they compare their unit to several top-of-the-range units from other brands.

JA-Q001 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Didn't Froome buy into the company last year? So he got a quick ROT or maybe ISN will maybe be on SRAM soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he paid back all the legal fees and settlements, he was a bit low on cash and seems to be doing OK now. DJuice and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbz Posted January 20, 2022 Share i have the Hammerhead Karoo 2 and its a Garmin Killer of a device. around R7500 landed bought directly from the webpage. 2 years warranty vs Garmins 1 year. Better screen Constant tangible software updates. Ability to side load apps, Apple music, Spotify, Zwift Companion and Zwift itself, the list goes on. Battery life is not as good - but lasts 2x 4 hour rides on my weekend. so its good enough. i'm a real fan so far Frosty and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelbiker Posted January 26, 2022 Share I have one too. Came from a Wahoo Bolt. I used it a lot to get know my way around Singapore. It’s an amazing device. It even takes a SIM card which is great for side loading things like WhatsApp or just navigation in general Mapping and it’s display are its strong points. It beats the Wahoo Roam and Bolt by a country mile for nav. Setup is also really easy Size and the weird mount I would say are it’s weak points. I had to buy 2 different mounts for my bikes. The mount system is better than the quarter turn system, it’s just hard to find good third party options. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
