Product details
With the Varia RTL510 radar, you are on your way to being more aware and attentive. Attached to the seat post, the device provides visual and audible alarms to warn of vehicles approaching from behind at a distance of up to 140 meters. The bright rear light is also visible from a great distance during the day, ensuring safe travel.
When riding a bike, you need to keep an eye on everything: your direction, distance, speed, and how much you challenge yourself. However, the most important aspect is your safety. While having eyes in the back of your helmet may be unrealistic, the Varia radar acts as an early warning system to enhance your safety while cycling.
The Varia RTL510 radar is just one part of the available bicycle safety products. When paired with compatible Garmin devices, the system helps improve cycling safety by issuing warnings for vehicles approaching from behind. A green light indicates all is well, a yellow light signifies a vehicle is approaching, and a red light warns that a vehicle is approaching at high speed.
The radar visually and audibly alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind from a distance of up to 140 meters. The tail light is highly visible in daylight and radiates backward at an angle of 220 degrees, allowing drivers to see you before the radar detects the vehicle. Its aerodynamic design allows for easy mounting on most road bikes, including touring and city bikes. It requires a dedicated radar display unit or wirelessly integrates with compatible Garmin devices.
Battery life lasts up to 15 hours in day flash mode or 6 hours in standard light or night flash mode.
