HELSINKI (April 22, 2022)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Today Suunto, known for their world-renowned GPS multisport watches and training tools, announced a partnership with Hammerhead, innovators of cycling technology and makers of the Karoo 2 cycling computer.

The partnership offers multisport athletes a seamless solution for managing performance tracking, training efforts, and route finding. Athletes can now ride with Karoo 2 cycling computer and run, swim, and hike with Suunto watch. All workouts from these devices are now visible in the Suunto app for performance analysis and can be shared to 200 other tools to further expand performance benefits.

Effective immediately, Hammerhead customers can connect with the Suunto app via Karoo 2 and the Hammerhead Dashboard. Most notably, riders will gain access to Suunto Heatmaps which allows cyclists to follow the most popular paths.

Additionally, riders can contribute to Heatmaps by sharing ride data to benefit other athletes.

“For Suunto, this cooperation continues the path of building an ecosystem where the Suunto community gets to enjoy new tools – both digital and physical – from the best sports and outdoor brands. We share the same passion to provide the best solutions for people to explore and enjoy the outdoors and to push their own limits. By joining forces with Hammerhead we believe we can provide a lot of value and the latest innovations to our customers in a rapid and agile manner,” says Heikki Norta, Suunto President.

“We are very excited to partner with Suunto. The opportunity to work with a heritage brand with more than 80 years of experience is a huge opportunity for our fast growing startup. With this partnership we hope to build on our mission to inspire and empower all people to unlock their athletic potential,” says Pieter Morgan, Hammerhead CEO and Co-Founder.

To celebrate the partnership Hammerhead and Suunto, along with Komoot, have invited all multisport athletes across the globe to participate in the #SeeTheAdventureAhead Earth Day Challenge.
