Undecided for a new bike computer

HonzaS

I’m using Wahoo elmnt roam V2 and Vertical 2. I start activity on both (watch on hand), to have all metrics in Suunto app and occasionally to look at zone sense on watch. But I also use intervals.icu as data hub. It’s fantastic app thanks to which I got rid of my dependence on the applications of the main manufacturers and can use almost any brand and various devices. Once tried that and I will never use anything else.

@Stoke80 I am in a similar situation. A couple of years ago I bought a nice gravel bicycle and started to do some cycling, mostly as cross training. For now these rides are fairly occasional and running is still my main sport. I record rides with a Suunto watch on my wrist, although, obviously, that is not ideal, especially for navigation. I considered Karoo 3 several times but remain undecided. If Suunto planned to make a cycle computer, that would be great to know.

@Adrian.S

Sounds promising. Thank you

@sky-runner

Absolutely. I would also love to see a Suunto device for cycling. Let’s see what the future brings.

I received my Karoo 3 yesterday and it looks very promising in terms of the Suunto integration.

After linking the Karoo to the Suunto account, all routes from the Suunto app, which have any sort of cycling as sport, are synched automatically to the devide.

Also Heatmaps from Suunto App available. It will take some time for my first outdoor ride, as currently I am working on a training plan over Rouvy to be done first.

@Adrian.S what do you mean? I get warnings about roads and signs on my Garmin Edge

We have talked sometimes in the past about the Karoo 3 and HR zones that are missing. Some people said that Karoo fixed and I asked for fit files and noone responded. Do you have any of those K3 files with zones ?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

So far I have not recorded any activities and therefore no fit files available. Maybe someone else can help.

Yesterday, when I set up the Karoo, I have amended the Zones on the device to the same as I have on my Suunto watch. Curious to see if / how that works.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Possibly. I haven’t used the Garmin 840 in a long time, so maybe this feature is available in more expensive models or has been introduced in an update.

How can I send you a fit-File?

@Efejota No, but I have tried the TwoNav Android app + Suunto integration. It works perfectly.

Note that the TwoNav Android app is the same app that is running on TwoNav devices.
