The Bar Fly 2.0 puts the top of Garmin computers flush with the stem (lower than the current Bar Fly), but it also allows you to set both a smaller Garmin or a larger Garmin close to the stem without having to adjust the mount itself, thanks to a two-slot system.

Di2 compatibility? Check
The Bar Fly 2.0 is also compatible with Shimano’s Di2 and Campagnolo’s EPS electronic systems, both of which have a junction box that typically mounts under the stem.
Both Bar Fly mounts attach with a single bolt.
The $25 (£16) Bar Fly 2.0 unit is made in the US, and will be available by the end of the month.
The Bar Fly for Cat Eye is $20 (£13) and is available now.
