Garmin Varia Radar RTL515 Rear Light
Staying safe on the roads can be a concern, especially if cycling on busy roads or during long solo training rides. The Garmin Varia Radar RTL515 Rear Light promotes an extra, comprehensive level of safety to the rider via its advanced warning system and bright light combination.
Attached easily to the seatpost, the neat and discreet Varia RTL515 unit holds a rear-facing radar system that communicates wirelessly to Garmin Edge computers, compatible smartphones and other, select Garmin wearables. When paired with these devices, visual and audible alerts are emitted to notify that a vehicle is approaching from behind. Vehicles up to 140m away are detected to provide ample prior warning that extra attention and responsible road positioning is required imminently.
The rear-mounted Varia RTL515 unit also houses a rear light that has multiple brightness levels to suit the riding conditions. Of particular note are the day-flash and peloton modes with the prior providing an extra bright flash for daytime riding and the latter a low, eye-friendly beam for when cycling in a group.
A robust external casing and an IPX7 waterproof rating complete the unit by ensuring durability and reliability within even the harshest of riding conditions.
