It pairs with your Edge bike computer, other Garmin device or compatible smartphone to alert you of vehicles approaching from behind up to 153 yards (140 meters) away. When used with your compatible smartphone, the Varia app helps increase your awareness with vibration alerts and more. With daylight visibility up to 1 mile, motorists will be able to see you from a distance. The radar’s compact vertical design allows for device mounting on most road-use bicycles. And peloton mode provides a low-intensity flash that is kind to other riders’ eyes when riding in a group. Review: Works GREAT! - After about 6 rides of more than 20+ miles each, I feel comfortable writing a review about the Garmin Varia RTL515. First, let me say that this Radar with Taillight works exactly as advertised and I can easily recommend it to any bike rider. That said, here are what I hope may be some helpful notes: - I use the radar with my iPhone 14 Pro and the associated Varia app - It took me less than 10 minutes to unpackage, mount, install the app and pair to my phone (note that for my rides my iPhone is attached to a mount on the handlebars) - Some have reported issues with the mounting hardware that comes with the device. I encountered no issues at all (installing or while riding) - Be sure to use the audible sounds and not just the visual (in other words, keep the volume on and up) - The radar detected approaching vehicles 100% of the time and about 85% sooner than my hearing did - I found the biggest benefit comes when I have to merge from the shoulder of the road out into traffic to make left hand turns or move out from a right only lane. As I have aged (now 65 years old) I don’t have the flexibility to turn around and look like I once had and this device helps in indicating if there is oncoming traffic and if there is, I can adjust my speed to slow down (or speed up) until it is clear. But make no mistake, DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE RADAR. Always use your eyes and ears! - I can say, from my limited experience, that the battery life seems solid and unless you’re doing 6+ hour rides (just my estimate), you will be fine and won’t run out of juice - Speaking of battery life, using the Varia app while using the Strava app to log my ride, I used up approximately 15% of my iPhone’s battery on a 2 hour ride My only gripe is that there is no integration with my Apple Watch. It would be very beneficial to have haptic alerts. I did find a third party app that supposedly does this but have not purchased it ($5.99). This device may not be for everyone but if you are looking for some added, reliable safety when you ride, it is worth it and, in my opinion, at a reasonable price. Review: This isn't a mirror replacement - After several uses, I kept asking myself... Why didn't I get this radar much earlier? Cynics saying a mirror would do the job that the Varia does isn't completely wrong Except Varia does much more than a mirror. Firstly the Audible beeps to warn me of approaching car more than 150meters back, without taking my eyes off the road. Trying spotting a car on a small bicycle mirror that far back while keeping 100% focus on road ahead. Secondly, mirror users are partly replying on sound. The unit picks up another cyclist riding overtaking at higher relative speed to avoid collision or wheel touch. I discovered that the unit can be mounted both ways, lights at top or bottom. Doesn't appear to impact radar signal. It does send out conservative and overly cautious signal when u r on a bike path with passing cars on main part of road. Overall a great defence tool to minimize probability of being hit from the rear. Great investment. ## Features - Rearview radar with tail light provides awareness of vehicles approaching from behind up to 153 yards (140 meters) away - Pairs seamlessly with your Edge bike computer and compatible smartphone as well as select Garmin wearables or the radar display unit - When used with your compatible smartphone, the Varia app provides graphics — plus tone and vibration alerts — that indicate approaching cars - When used with a compatible smartphone, Varia radar integrates with third-party apps such as Ride with GPS to overlay your maps with rearview radar alerts - Daylight visibility up to 1 mile alerts motorists to your presence as soon as possible - Compact vertical design mounts easily to most road-use bicycles - Peloton mode provides a low-intensity light flash that is perfect for cycling in groups - Battery life: up to 16 hours in day flash mode, up to 6 hours in solid mode ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086TVFX1D | | Battery Description | Lithium | | Battery description | Lithium | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,086 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #17 in Radar Detectors | | Brand | Garmin | | Built-In Media | Varia RTL515; Mounting kit; Cables; Documentation | | Color | Multi | | Colour | Multi | | Compatible Devices | D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, D2 Delta S, Edge 1000, Edge 1030, Edge 1030 Plus, Edge 130, Edge 25, Edge 510, Edge 520, Edge 520 Plus, Edge 530, Edge 810, Edge 820, Edge 830, Edge Explore 1000, Edge Explore 820, fēnix 5, fēnix 5 Plus, fēnix 5S, fēnix 5X, fēnix 5X Plus, fēnix 6, fēnix 6 - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6 - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix 6S, fēnix 6S - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6S - Pro … | | Compatible devices | D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, D2 Delta S, Edge 1000, Edge 1030, Edge 1030 Plus, Edge 130, Edge 25, Edge 510, Edge 520, Edge 520 Plus, Edge 530, Edge 810, Edge 820, Edge 830, Edge Explore 1000, Edge Explore 820, fēnix 5, fēnix 5 Plus, fēnix 5S, fēnix 5X, fēnix 5X Plus, fēnix 6, fēnix 6 - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6 - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix 6S, fēnix 6S - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6S - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix 6X - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6X - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix Chronos, Forerunner 735XT, Forerunner 935, Forerunner 945, tactix Charlie, tactix Delta - Sapphire Edition, tactix Delta - Solar Edition, tactix Delta - Solar Edition with Ballistics, Varia Vision In-sight Display, vívoactive 3, vívoactive HR Compatible devices D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, D2 Delta S, Edge 1000, Edge 1030, Edge 1030 Plus, Edge 130, Edge 25, Edge 510, Edge 520, Edge 520 Plus, Edge 530, Edge 810, Edge 820, Edge 830, Edge Explore 1000, Edge Explore 820, fēnix 5, fēnix 5 Plus, fēnix 5S, fēnix 5X, fēnix 5X Plus, fēnix 6, fēnix 6 - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6 - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix 6S, fēnix 6S - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6S - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix 6X - Pro and Sapphire Editions, fēnix 6X - Pro Solar Edition, fēnix Chronos, Forerunner 735XT, Forerunner 935, Forerunner 945, tactix Charlie, tactix Delta - Sapphire Edition, tactix Delta - Solar Edition, tactix Delta - Solar Edition with Ballistics, Varia Vision In-sight Display, vívoactive 3, vívoactive HR See more | | Control Method | App | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,419 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | ANATEL: 07319-25-03330 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 41L x 20W x 99H millimeters | | Item Type Name | Bike Radar | | Item Weight | 73 g | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Maximum Range | 1.6 Kilometers | | Mfr Part Number | 010-02376-00 | | Model Number | 010-02376-00 | | Mounting Type | Frame Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required.
