Hammerhead Karoo 2 Predictive Path Technology: How does it work

Key features of the new update include a colour-coded view of elevation profile of each climb on every ride, segmented to 100 metres or yards and the ability to add ‘Distance To Go’, ‘Elevation To Go’, ‘Distance From Base’, and ‘Elevation From Base’ measurements to any data page on the Karoo 2 quickly and easily. Said segments are colour-coded to average gradient – the brighter the colour, the steeper the gradient.

The Karoo 2 continuously identifies the immediately upcoming 500 metres of the route – again, without the need to preload the route – for scale. The expanded view of the entire climb is below the graph, with their average gradient displayed to one decimal precision.
