What it shows

Built to read at a glance, mid-ride

Everything sits in one data field — numbers, a graphic, or both. Nothing to tap, nothing to unlock.

01
▤

Live cassette graphic

The rear cassette drawn as bars — biggest sprocket on the left, your current cog lit up. Read your position without parsing numbers.

02
◉

Di2 battery

Wireless-unit charge as a colour-coded icon, a percentage, or both — orange under 40%, red under 15%.

03
⟳

Smart auto-reconnect

Keeps its Bluetooth bond between rides and relinks on its own the moment the Di2 is awake. No re-pairing after a short break.

04
⚙

Configurable drivetrain

Set your chainrings (1–3) and cassette, enter the teeth of each cog — accurate gear ratios and a true cassette profile.

05
▦

Records to your ride

Per-second gears, teeth, ratio and battery to the FIT file, plus a summary: max ratio, max gear, minimum battery and shift counts.

06
◐

Day / night · 6 languages

Adapts to the Edge Explore 2 colour theme. English, French, Spanish, Russian, German and Arabic out of the box.

STEP 01

Add the field

Drop Di2 Field onto a data screen on your Edge Explore 2. There's no button — it's a data field.

STEP 02

Wake the Di2

Tap a shifter to wake the system. The field finds the nearest Di2 and connects on its own.

STEP 03

Ride

It sticks to your unit and reconnects automatically every ride. Switch bikes with one "Forget" toggle.

Recorded data

Every shift, written to your ride

While you ride, Di2 Field logs the whole drivetrain to the FIT activity — so Garmin Connect and any analysis tool can chart it afterwards. Field names match the app, in your language.

⚠
Edge Explore 2 firmware 31.33: gears unavailable. On this Garmin firmware the head unit refuses to register the Bluetooth service the Di2 uses, so no third-party app can read gear data — the Di2 battery still works. Reported to Garmin and acknowledged (CIQQA-4662); a firmware fix is pending. Firmware 30.23 is unaffected.
