GarminVaria RTL515 Radar With Tail Light(Return to Product Page)

My commute takes me on busy roads with a bunch of left hand turns so it's nice to know how I'm going to take that turn based on the cars from behind. This device makes it easier to determine if I take the lane or do a u turn on a perpendicular road. Very few ghost cars if any. Great safety device.

Excellent purchase. Highly recommend. May not be of great use if you constantly have traffic behind you.

Very reliable device for road cycling. Paired with my Garmin Edge, get visual and audio cues about approaching vehicles. Effective in identifying multiple vehicles. Usually warns me before I can hear vehicles. Combined with the integrated flashing beam, offers better margin of safety than my previous combination of mirror and rear light. Usually get about 4 hours of riding between charges.

I'm a recreational cyclist and prefer lonely country roads. However, I need to ride urban roads in order to get to them. The Varia taillight/radar gives me warning without having to constantly look over my shoulder. Highly recommended.

The radar feature works great paired with my Element Bolt. Red light indicators and audible beep when vehicles come into range and visual indicator remains red until coast is clear. The light is also very visible and has various options to choose from. The app looks cool for the virtual overlay of the vehicle location on your map if using a smart phone.

went on sale, got one. Don't know why I waited , WORKS GREAT

The Varia RTL515 rear radar works well and was easy to install and pair with the Garmin 1030. I only gave it four stars because it seems to run out of battery if I try to get more than one ride out of a charge.

It quickly hooks up with my Garmin . I have problems turning my neck so it�s a blessing not having a struggle to do so . My friends I ride with like the fact that it starts blinking which lets them know a car is coming .

Great way to observe cars behind. I use it to supplement my rear view mirror. It provides ample warning.

Increases awareness of cars on the road. Easy to connect to Garmin head unit. Love that the cadence of the blinking light will change as cars approach.

Loved line so much in bought this for my wife. Easy to use. Long battery life. Adds safety to alert you of vehicles coming up from behind before you can hear them. Recommended.

For my rides this is a huge help in alerting me of cars approaching. No longer am I constantly looking behind me.

Love this light and radar combo. Great for detection of nearby cars and bright enough to stand out making cycling safer.

We both have one now. Knowing how close and how many cars really helps. They are connected to our Garmins .

Although the Varia detects approaching objects, it doesn't give the size or how close the vehicle will pass you. A $20 rear view mirror does.

This product is literally a life saver and equal in importance to a helmet.

I actually had someone approach me asking what type of light I had so he could get one. It's the first one he had seen that was visible in daylight.

I like the radar too.

I absolutely love the Varia. I've been using it for over a month now and wouldn't want to live without it. The light is super bright and the radar works well!!
