Garmin Varia RTL515 Rear View Radar with Tail Light

The new and improved Garmin Varia Rear Radar continues to protect riders by warning them visually and audibly on compatible cycling computers of vehicles approaching from behind. The new RTL515 has a longer battery life, bluetooth connectivity for use with smartphones, improved daytime optics, and a new peloton mode, for group rides.

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 security.

This Sensor Has Your Back

When out on a ride, you have to keep track of everything. What’s your route, how far are you going, how fast and how hard are you going to push it. But the most important thing to keep track of is your safety. And while having eyes in the back of your helmet might be a bit unrealistic, think of Varia as just that. This radar is like an early warning system that helps create safer cycling environments.

Safety In Numbers

Varia RTL510 rearview radar is just one part of cycling awareness. When paired with compatible Garmin devices, the system helps to create safer riding conditions by alerting riders to vehicles approaching from behind. Green light? All good. Amber light? A vehicle is approaching. Red light? Take caution — a vehicle is approaching at high speeds. Ride safe.
