The Garmin Edge Explore 2 is a very extensive cycling computer for the recreational cyclist who likes to discover new areas by bike. The navigation on this Edge Explore 2 is very clever, and thanks to the improved battery life, it is now possible to make even longer trips. The improved altimeter and ClimbPro ensure that you can also climb well with this cycle computer. You also get insights into your VO2max and recovery data, and you can receive notifications from your mobile phone on your bike computer. Another new feature of this bike computer is the possibility to connect it to your e-bike. This will allow you to check the status of the battery or set the mode, for example.
Safe Routing
The GPS function will help you track your rides. No matter where you ride, how far, how fast or how high, Edge Explore bike navigation keeps track. Creating routes is easy with the app, computer or on the Edge itself. You can also choose to avoid high-traffic areas and take the quieter, more pleasant route to make your cycling experience even better.
Additional features
The Garmin Bike Navigation is compatible with Livetrack, Grouptrack, smart-notifications, messaging with other cyclists and built-in accident detection. Thanks to the ANT+ connection, you can also easily exchange data with heart rate monitors, speed sensors, cadence sensors and other sensors with ANT+. In addition, you have access to free apps, widgets and other data in the IQ Store. For example, you can control the music on your mobile from the bike computer.
Expansion possibilities
In addition to the usual sensors, the Edge Explore can also be linked to Garmin Varia products. The Varia products have a sensor that can detect traffic coming from behind, increasing your safety. You can also connect the bike computer with inReach satellite communication devices. This is in case you are in a place where you have no mobile reception. So the Edge Explore is truly designed to keep you safe on all your cycling adventures.
Battery life
The Edge Explore 2 has a battery that lasts up to 16 hours in normal use and up to 20 hours in saver mode.
E-bike functionality
The Edge Explore 2 can be connected to your e-bike to get even more out of your cycling experience. This applies to E-bikes with a Bosch motor or a Shimano Steps system. If you're riding a Cannondale SmartSense bike, the Edge Power Mount fits seamlessly into the bike's integrated mount. Once connected to your compatible E-bike, you'll get navigation guidance and alerts based on your bike's battery status, assist level and range.
