Garmin 010-02376-00 Varia RTL515, Cycling Rearview Radar with Tail Light, Visual and Audible Alerts for Vehicles Up to 153 Yards Away

Works as described and a peace of mind while cycling.

The light and radar work very well in normal use, but the mount should be replaced with an third party mount. The rubber bands are not that reliable for a product at this price. Also, the mount does not work well on seat posts that are not round. Radar is not reliable on switchbacks.

The Varia RTL515 has given me a huge piece of mind when cycling on the parkway or long roads in the outskirts of the city where the wind prevents you from hearing cars behind.

Really cool product, works amazingly well, I use it with a Garmin 820. Great for showing other riders and cars!

I love getting a warning, moving over, wait, and back over again. No neck movements, no anxiety, and no stress. I understand drivers and how easy it is to die so I usually avoid riding roads but with this light I go anyplace.

Works great. it’s not a replacement for checking behind you while riding but it certainly gives you a significant amount of heads up that someone is coming - especially the quieter riders.

Bought this from Amazon in June, 2021. It is now December, 2021, and Im convinced this is the greatest safety investment Ive made for my bike riding. I was skeptical but decided it was worth a try - I had ran into a rider in 2020 who had one and he loved it. This device syncs perfectly with my Samsung phone and my Edge 810. The sound when a vehicle approaches from behind is loud and my Samsung momentarily quiets my music to make the signal more noticeable even when Im in the zone on a low-traffic rural road. This warning gives me a few seconds to adjust since the radar works for approximately 450 feet in the rear. I highly recommend this for your own safety. The only downside and its not a big deal at all is that at the larger organized rides such as the Little Rock, AR Big Dam Bridge Ride it sounds the alarm when a group of riders approach. Again, a very minor nuisance for safety and it assures me that the radar is working. I realize that an accident is only a few feet away from we riders at any given time but I firmly believe this enhances my odds for a safe ride. I have recommended this to all my local riding friends and have no hesitation in recommending to any road rider.

Great product. Hooked up to my Hammerhead Karoo 2. Radar is a game changer and would not ride without it.

I never go for a bike ride without the Garmin Radar. A lot better than using a mirror.

It’s like having eyes at the back of your head. Works really well with Ride with GPS on my phone.
