Rear lighting GARMIN VARIA RADAR RTL 515

This radar backlight GARMIN Varia Radar RTL 515 is a must-have safety solution for cyclists, making them visible in all conditions, day and night, and informing them of the arrival of a vehicle behind them, from a distance of 140 meters (up to 8 vehicles at the same time)! When a vehicle is detected, the beacon lights up to indicate your presence. 

This accessory can be fitted to both city/hiking and road bikes, and is easy to install on the seatpost using the mounting kit supplied.

The design of the waterproof housing has been reworked to blend in even better with the aesthetics of road bikes. The indicator light is now visible at 220°, and the system can still be used in continuous mode (6 hours autonomy) or flashing mode (16 hours autonomy). By day, the cyclist can be seen up to 1600 meters away, thanks to a light output of 60 lumens in flashing mode.

In addition to the audible alert, this system works perfectly with a GPS Edge or Wahoo Element, Bolt and ROAM, which will give you a visual warning of what's coming up behind you. It's also compatible with Android and IOS smartphones via the Varia Mobile App. Finally, the Radar also works with the Komoot, RidewithGPS smarthphone apps and others to come. In addition to the audible alert, approaching vehicles are indicated by a color code (Green = clear, Orange= approaching vehicle, Red= vehicle approaching at high speed).
