Garmin Varia RTL515 Rear View Radar w/ Tail Light

Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview Radar & Tail Light

The Varia RTL515 combines a rear-facing radar with a bright tail light to help you ride safely and confidently. It detects vehicles approaching from behind up to 140 metres away and alerts you with visual, audible, and vibration signals. You can pair it with your Garmin Edge bike computer, select Garmin wearables, or a compatible smartphone — and the Varia app adds extra graphics and tone alerts to make approaching traffic easier to track.

Key Features:

• Maximum awareness: Radar alerts you to vehicles from behind, helping you anticipate traffic and ride more confidently.
• Multiple pairing options: Works with Garmin Edge computers, compatible watches, or your smartphone. Integrates with third-party apps like Ride with GPS to overlay radar alerts on your maps.
• Peloton mode: Provides a low-intensity flash that’s easy on other riders’ eyes, perfect for group rides.
• Superior visibility: Tail light is daylight-visible from up to a mile away, keeping you noticeable in traffic.
• Compact, practical design: Mounts easily on most road bikes with a vertical seatpost orientation that clears your legs for a comfortable ride.
• Battery life: Up to 16 hours in day flash mode, or 6–8 hours in other modes, giving you long-lasting performance for long rides.
