A great computer that does exactly what it promises.

- Albert Jan, 20 July, 2026

Great computer. Does what it promises. Excellent value for money. I just wonder why the screen resolution on Garmin devices is always so low. Can’t be operated with Shimano GRX 800 shifters. It’s a shame Shimano hasn’t sorted that out.

Ideal bike computer for carefree navigation and discovering new routes

- Anton, 6 June, 2026

After a few rides, I am very satisfied with the Garmin Edge Explore 2. I was mainly looking for a user-friendly bike computer for navigation and for that, this device is perfect. Entering addresses is easy, the route guidance is clear and the 'Back to start' function gives a lot of confidence when cycling in unfamiliar surroundings. Pairing with my Garmin Venu 2 Plus for heart rate measurement also works fine by now. It took some time to set everything up properly, but after that it went smoothly. The screen is easy to read, the controls are intuitive and the battery lasts more than long enough for longer trips. For recreational cyclists who mainly want to enjoy their ride and are not concerned with complicated training data, this is an excellent choice.

Pros & Cons

Clear display
Reliable route guidance
User-friendly navigation
Some functions require figuring out at first

Very nice device

- Martien, 22 February, 2026

Nice easy device. Fine controls. If you use your sports watch as a heart rate monitor, it takes over that nicely. So you don't need a heart rate belt anymore. You can set it all up to your liking. Cadence, power, heart rate, Vo2max, etc.

Pros & Cons

Clear operation
Easy device
Good cooperation with sports watch
Setup without description
No Dutch description if you need one

Top navigation bike computer

- Frank, 5 July, 2025

My previous Garmin was an Edge 1000, it started to have trouble navigating and I never used half of its features. Extensive statistics after your ride I don't do anything with. DUS: If you don't analyse (gravel) rides and just want to cycle, enjoy the surroundings and be able to navigate, this one is a winner. Why such an expensive one when everything you need is in this Edge Exore 2? Very happy with this choice. And Mantel also offers it at a very competitive price. Top device, highly recommended.

Fine navigation computer!

- Toon, 4 January, 2025

I use this Garmin navigation computer for (e-bike) tours in known and unknown terrain. Both Garmin and Komoot then have great route suggestions. Transferring a junction route does require some extra actions.

Pros & Cons

Easy to operate
Link to Komoot
Precise
Very clear display
No direct link to cycling junction apps

Great navigation computer

- Simone, 15 September, 2024

Great navigation computer for cyclists! When you deviate from the route, it immediately adapts and navigates you back to the route. Navigating to start also works well. In the mountains, the computer did not always pick up the correct altitude percentages of the route I had loaded. This had to do with calibration. Sometimes I had to do this manually as a result. Not desirable when you are climbing a mountain. Good link with Strava via Garmin Connect. Nice touchscreen controls. An improvement on the Edge 530.

Pros & Cons

Back to route
Connection with Strava
Navigate to start
Service in the shop
Touchscreen
Did not always load the correct altitude percentages

Great buy!

- Roos, 6 August, 2024

I hesitated over a bike computer for a long time. I have had this one from Garmin for a few months now and I am SO happy with it. It has huge battery life, you can find your own komoot routes straight away, touchscreen, clear data screens and clear directions. After your ride, it automatically uploads to strava. You have to figure out how to operate it and link your apps, but then you have a fantastic bike computer! I can't live without it anymore, especially on bikepacking holidays it is ideal.

Pros & Cons

Add your own routes via komoot
Clear screen: with map and data
Compact and easy to attach and detach
Connectable with strava
Timely route instructions: 150 m and 50 m before afs
Beeps a lot (twice at each turn)

Solid product with many features.

- Imke, 5 April, 2024

Very nice, solid and good product. We have already cycled many beautiful routes with it. It has a 'back to start' button, so you always get back to your starting destination if necessary. Many setting options, something for everyone. Messages and phone calls can be linked, so you see when you are called in an emergency, for example.

Pros & Cons

Clear screen/route overview.
Good setting options.
Nice size.
Some figuring out how to add a junction route
