Garmin Edge Explore 2

The Garmin Edge Explore 2 is a GPS cycling computer with a 3 in. color touchscreen, so maps and ride data are clear at a glance. Its maps point out popular roads and trails, high-traffic areas to avoid and searchable points of interest for your type of bike. Pair your phone with the Garmin Connect app to get alerts for road hazards reported by other cyclists and to report your own. On a compatible eBike it also shows assist level and battery range. It comes with a standard mount, or with the Edge Power Mount alone or with a Shimano, Bosch or USB-A adapter cable.

It is a 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 keep you on the right path, on new routes or off the beaten trail. It even includes ClimbPro to help you pace yourself on tough ascents and see how much climbing remains.

Beyond 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 better 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 Garmin Connect app integration, apps from the Connect IQ Store, and syncing with popular route platforms like Strava and Komoot, everything you need for your best ride yet is right at your fingertips.

Inside the Explore 2

How it works

Road surface type on the map

The map shows road surface type, unpaved roads included, which helps when planning a route onto gravel or around it. Plan a ride on the unit itself with the on-device course creator, and find a place with location search.

Trendline popularity routing

Trendline popularity routing builds routes from the roads and trails cyclists ride most, and the popularity heatmap shows where those are. It gives you a quick way to find good riding somewhere new.

ClimbPro ascent planner

During climbs ClimbPro automatically shows the remaining ascent and grade, on courses and on regular rides, for better effort management on the way up and a clear review afterward.

GroupTrack for up to 50 riders

GroupTrack shows live location updates for up to 50 riders using compatible Garmin devices. Group messages keep everyone in touch during the ride, on compatible devices only.
