Garmin Edge Explore 2 Standard GPS bike computer

With its large 3-inch touchscreen, this GPS bike computer is very easy to use. Its ‘ Garmin Cycle Map Europe’ is handy, as it allows you to follow a pre-loaded route on the road or off-road. Once set up and ready to use, this new GPS from the American brand will help you find the best routes, for example by using popular roads to avoid areas of heavy traffic, whilst suggesting points of interest worth stopping at. The Climb feature Pro will also help you perform at your best on climbs, as it shows you the remaining distance and gradient so you can better manage your effort all the way to the summit.

Note that you can create your own routes via the Garmin Connect app, Strava or Komoot before syncing them to your Edge Explore 2 Standard. Then, all you need to do is follow the detailed navigation and alerts before each change of direction. And even if you go off-route, the Garmin will always guide you back safely via a navigation system specifically designed for cycling. This Garmin Edge Explore 2 Standard also promises good battery life, with 16 hours of operation under heavy use and 24 hours in power-saving mode.

As well as offering standard features such as tracking distance, speed and altitude, the Edge Explore 2 has plenty of other functions. As well as Smart Notifications, which allow you to receive calls, texts or emails from your smartphone directly on your bike computer, this Garmin also features a LiveTrack function. Thanks to this, your contacts can track your ride’s progress in real time. Compatible with ANT+ and Bluetooth, it also helps you stay in touch with others thanks to incident detection, compatibility with the Varia radar and GroupTrack, an internal messaging service within Garmin. Finally, it’s also worth noting that this GPS cycle computer is compatible with e-bikes, as it can display the battery status, the available assistance level and the remaining range of your e-bike.

For your information, this Garmin Edge Explore 2 GPS cycle computer is supplied in a box containing a standard mount, a USB cable and documentation.
