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

Very accurate. Amazing to see behind you without having to turn your head. Better then a mirror

I thought this would be waste of money but I was completely wrong. I wont ride without it now. I really like the fact that it alerts you to three cars behind you. I spend a lot of time on the road and this has eased my mind in knowing whats coming up behind me.

Added safety in back country roads

This works well. I have a Garmin Edge 1000 and the Varia connects both as the radar and also as the light. Allows the light to work automatically as part of a light network.

We purchased this directly from Garmin before it was available on Amazon. Glad to see Amazon has it now.

Ive only used it about 8 times since I purchased it, but its pretty amazing. You hear the sound from the phone (I connect it to an iPhone app) and see the visual on the screen, long before you hear the car on the pavement. You can see how quickly the car is moving as it advances on you and make decisions accordingly. You can see multiple cars behind you. You no longer have to wait for the sound which is typically when the car is almost on you (and definitely the case when a car is approaching from the other direction) but rather have ample advance warning. Great for country roads.

As a road cyclist, motor vehicles are a constant companion. The Varia has quickly become as essential to me as a helmet and hi-viz clothing. It works great and I can’t imagine riding without it now. Not having to continuely take my eyes off the road in front of me to look behind me it both reassuring and much safer. If you are going to ride roads, this is a must have addition.

This is the second Varia I’ve purchased. I did this so one is always fully charged and ready to go at all times. This is such a valuable safety tool.

Very helpful on some of our longer local descents. Nice to know you have clear road behind you. Also really nice when needing to cross lanes in traffic. Wish battery life was better but nothing is perfect.

Works great with the new 2021 Wahoo color Elemnt and the accuracy of the radar makes me feel safe on the road.
