There's something brilliant about heading out on your bike without knowing exactly where the day might take you. A quiet country lane, a new gravel track or a little detour that turns out to be considerably longer than expected. The Garmin Edge Explore 2 is built for exactly those moments, combining easy-to-follow navigation, useful cycling information and a wonderfully straightforward touchscreen interface. Think of it as a knowledgeable riding companion who always knows the way home, even when you've completely lost track of which turning you took an hour ago.
The Edge Explore 2 makes discovering new routes refreshingly simple. Bike-specific mapping helps you find suitable roads and trails, while turn-by-turn directions keep you heading in the right direction. ClimbPro provides a useful heads-up when the road starts pointing skywards, and compatibility with supported eBike systems means you can keep track of your battery, assistance level and available range. There's also Garmin Varia compatibility, incident detection and connected group riding features to help keep you informed along the way. With up to 16 hours of battery life in demanding use and 24 hours in Battery Saver mode, there's plenty of time for a proper adventure. And potentially several unplanned café stops.
