Karoo is built on a fiberglass-filled high-impact polycarbonate chassis with interlocking protective shells and is weather-resistant with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It has been rigorously tested for shock, vibration, and environmental fatigue, making it a benchmark for durability and ruggedness. The 3.2" screen (8.1cm) has the highest resolution for a bike computer with 292 pixels-per-inch, anti-glare Corning Gorilla Glass, and a responsive touchscreen. The total ROM capacity is 64GB with approximately 4GB reserved for the operating system and default applications, freeing the rest to support your maps and data. Karoo has a Quad-core 2.0GHz CPU with 4GB of RAM. This ultra-fast yet ultra-efficient processor delivers smooth operation and data visualization. Karoo has also been tested to ensure that prolonged or intense UV exposure does not diskolor or degrade the materials. Karoo has been reliability tested for operation between -10°C and 50°C. The USB-C Cover provides your Karoo with extra resistance to mud, rain, salt, and more.
