Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar

Safety Without Compromise: Your Sixth Sense on the Road

The Garmin Varia RTL515 is more than just a tail light. It is a smart radar system that constantly monitors traffic behind you, providing visual and audible alerts on your bike computer or smartphone when a vehicle approaches. With a detection range of up to 140 meters, it allows you to anticipate hazards and manage your road position with total peace of mind.

Seamless integration with the Garmin ecosystem and third-party apps makes it an indispensable tool for every cyclist riding on open roads.

Key Features

• 140m Vehicle Detection: Provides early warnings for approaching vehicles, with color-coded threat levels (green/orange/red) directly on your device screen.

• Superior Visibility: The integrated light is visible from up to 1 mile (1.6 km) away in broad daylight, ensuring motorists notice you long before the radar picks them up.

• Peloton Mode: A low-intensity flash mode designed to avoid blinding teammates during group rides while keeping the radar fully active.

• Total Connectivity: Pairs via ANT+ with Garmin Edge computers and compatible watches, and via Bluetooth with the Varia app or third-party apps (like Ride with GPS and Komoot).

• Extended Battery Life: Up to 16 hours in day flash mode and 6 hours in solid mode, covering even your longest epic rides.

• Sleek Vertical Design: Easily mounts to the seatpost with a slim profile that ensures leg clearance and won't interfere with your pedal stroke.
