Epix 2 and bicycle

Hello,

Do you think Epix 2 could work as bike computer at the handle bar, for example showing Climb Pro or any other stats (main concern is of course screen and battery)? It would be excellent to have this sexy screen every day and also be able to use it with bike.

Regards Rafal

A great solution is to pickup a varia display on ebay (product is discontinued). works remarkably well particularly for someone like me with poor vision up close.

Takes a few rides to get used to it, but I have been using this setup with a 945 and now a fenix 6 pro. Also have the radar setup

It is true the display dims automatically after a while but it was not annoying to me. Moreover, I have added the radar RTL515 which is perfectly integrated with the epix 2, awesome !

Thanks GARMIN !

Thanks for the feedback!

Since touching the screen or button to wake it up requires a bit of precision and I only to MTB rides I still have my doubts. I will create a home made mount using pipe insulation to test and if it works well I will order the quickfit mount.
