Now Live: Real-Time Weather on Your Karoo

We’re thrilled to announce that real-time weather forecasting is now officially available on the Hammerhead Karoo with Epic Ride Weather. After months of development and beta testing, the feature is complete—and it’s packed with powerful new capabilities to help you ride smarter in any conditions.

Whether you’re racing, training, or just out for a spin, this update gives you a real-time view of the weather where it matters most: on the road ahead.

Ride Smarter with Real-Time Wind Strategy

Ever wished you could predict a headwind before it hits? Now you can.

With a selected route, Epic Ride Weather provides live countdowns showing how long your current wind conditions will last, and when the next change is coming. You’ll know exactly when to push, when to draft, and when to ease off. It’s like having a coach in your cockpit—one who can read the wind.

No route? No problem. Even without a route, you’ll still get real-time wind data based on your location.

Beat the Rain, Ride Your Plan

Weather can turn fast, especially in the mountains. Now you can stay one step ahead of changing conditions.

Epic Ride Weather shows you the probability and intensity of upcoming rain or showers—right on your Karoo—as you ride. When you select a route, the data becomes hyperlocal, matched precisely to your position along the course.

Push the pace to beat a storm or pause for cover with confidence. You’re in control.

Live Temperature Awareness

From alpine descents to valley heat, temperature can have a huge impact on your performance and comfort.

Epic Ride Weather now tracks live temperature and feels-like temperature throughout your ride. With a route selected, it even shows what’s coming up ahead—so you can make smart decisions about hydration, layering, and effort.

Built for Every Ride — With or Without a Route

This update makes Epic Ride Weather more flexible than ever. While you’ll get the most advanced predictions with a selected route (including timing and segment-based forecasts), you can also ride freely and still benefit from live weather data based on your current location.

It’s real-time weather for the way you ride.

What You’ll See on Your Karoo:

• Current Wind: Forecasted strength, direction, and a countdown to the next change (when a route is selected).

• Upcoming Wind: What’s coming next—and how long it will last.

• Precipitation: Live probability and intensity over the next hour, hyperlocal when following a route.

• Temperature: Forecasted and feels-like temperatures for the hour ahead, route-aware when available.

“For those looking for an edge in gravel or road racing, being able to see how wind will impact race dynamics in the coming miles is massive!! I am super excited to use the Epic Ride Weather extension in my upcoming competitions! Even if you are not competing, being able to see this data aligns super well with Hammerhead’s goal to allow riders to “see the road ahead,” which I love!“

– Chris Mehlman, Epic Ride Weather user

“When riding in Colorado, wind conditions are a significant factor. …I can access real-time wind data, including current speed and direction, as well as an estimated wind change in the near future. This information is invaluable for anticipating and adjusting riding strategies accordingly.“

— Gerry Stephenson, Colorado rider
