## About

GPS bike computer with an online Dashboard for device registration, ride syncing, route planning, maps and firmware updates

## Activity summary

Availability in Syria is unknown. In October 2026 Hammerhead told a Syrian cyclist it has no country-specific geo-blocking and its Karoo services should work in Syria, though it does not sell products there.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-10-14 — Company Responded (Community Updates). Asked by a Syrian cyclist whether its services work from Syria, Hammerhead support said it has no country-specific geo-blocking and Karoo and Dashboard services should work there, though it does not sell products directly in Syria.
- 2026-10-13 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A Syrian competitive cyclist asked Hammerhead whether people in Syria can use the Dashboard, register Karoo devices, sync rides and get maps and firmware, and to have any Syria restriction reassessed.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
