Hammerhead approached Glassboard initially for FEA simulation services to verify the structural design of their plastic components. This relationship quickly grew into encompassing many areas of the design with multiple disciplines within the Glassboard team tagging in to help bring this stand out product to market.

Challenge
Joining the team mid development we worked within the constraints of the existing development to optimize the end device.
Solution
We jumped in to help bring Karoo 2 to market side by side with the existing Hammerhead engineering team and the contract manufacturing team to bring this device to market.
Result
The Karoo 2 has empowered professional cyclists to claim victories and weekend warriors to discover new trails with its industry-leading mapping technology. Its remarkable success led to Hammerhead's acquisition by SRAM in early 2022.
