Garmin 010-02376-00 Varia RTL515, Cycling Rearview Radar with Tail Light, Visual and Audible Alerts for Vehicles Up to 153 Yards Away

I live/cycle in both the US and the French Alps. I decided to try a Varia because one of my French friends has one and likes being alerted when a car is approaching, when we are blasting down tiny mountain roads. I wasnt sure that Id like it because its larger than a standard rear light, and because Im a diehard Wahoo user. However, I was pleased to find that the Varia interfaces perfectly with my Wahoo Roam, it has a long (~12hr) battery life, and it points out approaching cars at a distance of 150-200 meters, long before I can hear them. I wasnt sure that Id like this thing but as someone thats been hit/hospitalized by cars (twice!) I now consider it an important safety tool.

Easy to install, app is simple, charging is a breeze. This product could save your life, worth every penny.

Definitely works. Everyone needs this if you ride bikes on public streets. It works with a phone or a Garmin unit (the ones specified), including their watches. Worth every penny, besides that youre getting a light too that extremely bright!

I had my first ride with the rvr315, it warned me every time a car is overtaking me , it warned me about multiple cars, no missed or false alarms , now I’m a million times safer on the road. It alerted me long before I heard the cars coming. I can go on forever. I’m using it with the iPhone app , I wish I had bought it years ago .

Works well & as described.

I do a lot of riding and sometimes I need to ride on country roads. The Garmin Varia allows me to ride safely alerting me to a car coming up behind me. I use it with my iPhone for a visual and my Bluetooth helmet for audible alerts. Unfortunately not all drivers know how to pass a biker and this device allows me to prepare for their pass and be ready to take evasive action if there is a car coming in the opposite direction. I won’t ever ride without it. Money well spent

Keeps me safe on a bike. I know when a car is approaching

Its awesome - works exactly like in the videos. I like it because at least you know that a car or another bike is coming. Pairs with my Edge Explore perfectly. Battery life really long. Highly recommend.

This unit was great while it lasted. The rear light is bright and the radar warnings are reliable and a great safety feature. But the battery died after one year. It wont hold a charge even for 30 sec. The warranty expired three days ago. Its a lot of money to pay for a thing that only lasts a year.

Gostei do produto, ele funciona conforme o prometido, aumenta bastante a segurança durante as pedaladas; apenas, é um equipamento caro.
