Ride smarter and more aware with Garmin Varia™ Radar RCT 715 rearview radar. Mounted neatly on the seatpost, it provides visible and audible alerts for vehicles approaching from behind up to 140 meters away. Plus, the bright tail light is visible in daylight from up to a mile away, so you can ride with confidence and peace of mind. Sleek vertical design easily mounts to most road-use bicycles, including racing, touring and commuter styles.

This radar works seamlessly with your Edge bike computer or compatible smartphone as well as select Garmin wearables or the optional radar display unit.  New Varia App helps you increase your awareness by providing graphics — plus tone and vibration alerts — that indicate the position and speed of approaching cars. When used with a compatible smartphone, Varia radar integrates with your favorite apps, such as Ride with GPS to overlay your maps with rearview radar alerts.

It works independently and wirelessly integrates with compatible cycling computers. It can detect multiple vehicles and indicates the relative speed of approach and threat level. The rear light unit brightens and flashes to notify approaching traffic of a cyclist ahead. Getting hit from behind is a leading cause of cycling fatalities. That’s why getting some extra help knowing what’s sneaking up behind you is an important breakthrough. You already use caution and check over your shoulder, especially before making turns, but Varia radar gives you an important tool by watching behind you even when you aren’t. Ride safely everywhere you go!
