Garmin Edge Explore 2 GPS

Why We Like The Garmin Edge Explore 2 GPS

For road cyclists who want reliable navigation but can do without advanced training and recovery metrics, Garmin’s Edge Explore 2 GPS bike computer delivers a bang for our buck with its ample display size and slate of basic day-to-day features. The Explore 2 shines with navigation, letting us create and upload routes from Strava, Komoot, and others or follow existing routes stores in the Edge’s Course Creator. Bike-specific maps highlight popular roads, high-traffic areas, and points of interest, while off-course recalculation helps us quickly re-route if needed. The Edge Explore 2 features up to a 16-hour battery life in demanding use, keeping us covered for longer rides and helping preserve our phone battery.
