Garmin Edge Explore 2 GPS

The Garmin Edge® Explore 2 is the ultimate cycling companion for riders who crave adventure without sacrificing safety or convenience. With a bright display and up to 24 hours of battery life in battery saver mode, this GPS cycling computer is built to go the distance. Preloaded with road, off-road, and indoor activity profiles, the Edge Explore 2 is ready to ride right out of the box. Turn-by-turn navigation, improved ride-type-specific maps, and off-course recalculations ensure you’re always on the right path—whether you're exploring new routes or venturing off the beaten trail. It even includes ClimbPro to help you pace yourself on tough ascents and see how much climbing remains.

Designed for more than just tracking, the Edge Explore 2 helps you stay aware and in touch with features like incident detection, GroupTrack, and smart notifications when paired with your smartphone. It’s also fully compatible with Varia™ cycling radar and lights for enhanced on-road visibility. If you're riding an eBike, you’ll love the smart routing based on assist level and battery range. Want to train indoors? Pair it with your Tacx® smart trainer. With integration into the Garmin Connect™ app, access to apps via the Connect IQ™ Store, and seamless syncing with popular route platforms like Strava and Komoot, the Edge Explore 2 puts everything you need for your best ride yet—right at your fingertips.
