I see many people were raising this topic but all thread for u known reason were locked.

Garmin, what is the reason Explore 2 is not supporting Shifting Sensors? When Shifting Sensors support will be added to Explore 2 ?

They wouldn't listen. It's just marketing.

You can even see Di2 icon on the official user guide:

Excuse me, I'm not asking to add some expensive training algorithms or features to a cheaper model, but a support of one more but important bike sensor along with already supported by this model (https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-E67DE53E-5B08-4903-9767-F58973BC1829/EN-US/GUID-09801A97-361B-4675-AD3A-6ACE25854DB3.html). Do you think it would be a big effort from experienced manufacturer?

As DCRainmaker said in 2022 "Yes, electronic shifting support is a significant feature Garmin has left out in Explore series. Sadly. Otherwise I would consider Explore 2."

I totally agree Garmin created this environment so we as users help each other out .

This cult is starting to leave a bad taste .

I would appreciate it if you could only display the battery status. This would keep the distance to the higher models
