![]() The 830 and Wahoo are better here until you get into shadows then the K2 nudges ahead of 830 but not Wahoo. The screen is attractive but not bright enough. If you don’t train and use it primarily for navigation it’s the best choice. What don’t I like? There are a lot of nitpicky things I don’t like but the biggie is absence of a good trainer integration. Imported routes generally sync quickly (one thing this platform does well) What would you buy if you had to do it over again?īattery life: when 830 is at 85% K2 is 50% ![]() I'd really appreciate your unvarnished opinion. ![]() You've joined a Karoo subreddit, so I imagine you have experience and opinions about Karoo. How well does turn-by-turn work for you? Rerouting? What features are you using? GPS? Bluetooth? Sensors?Īre you able to import routes easily from Strava? How's battery life? How long does a charge last? I've watched a gazzilion videos and read numerous articles. I'm considering the Karoo 2, Garmin 1030+, 830, and 530, the Wahoo Elemnt Roam and Bolt, and the Bryton Rider 420. But, if the battery drains quickly, then it doesn't solve my current power problem. It's got a great display and I like its size and mount. The Karoo 2 has all the features I'm looking for. So, the phone has run out of power on longer rides (50+ miles). The phone battery drains quickly when I'm using it with those network applications and sensors, and I don't want to carry a battery pack. My phone's battery life is the reason I want/need a computer. I'm probably going to get a Varia radar unit in the future, and I believe the phone won't support that either. I still haven't found a way to use Strava routes with Google Maps. I use Strava for the routes, Google Maps for turn-by-turn, and Wahoo for the heart monitor, speed, and cadence sensor integrations. I ride using my phone as my computer, and it works, for the most part. It looks great, and, now that SRAM owns it, I expect it will get even better. The Karoo 2 was recommended to me by a friend/recent bike shop owner. I'm about to buy a cycling computer, and (acknowledging that I am asking in the Karoo subreddit) I'd appreciate your honest opinions based on your experience. ![]()
