    • the best safety investments I have made for cycling.
Style: Varia RCT715
After using the Garmin Varia RCT715 for a while, I can confidently say it is one of the best safety investments I have made for cycling. It reliably detects vehicles approaching from behind and gives you clear, early warnings, which is invaluable whether you ride on open roads or in mixed traffic. The alerts are timely and accurate, allowing you to stay focused on the road ahead instead of constantly looking back. The built-in camera is a serious bonus. Video quality is more than sufficient to clearly capture incidents, license plates, and road situations. The fact that it automatically saves footage when an event is detected gives real peace of mind. You hope you never need it, but when you do, it is there. The tail light is bright, highly visible, and well integrated with the radar system. Battery life is solid, even when using radar, camera, and light together on longer rides. Setup is straightforward, and integration with Garmin head units and the Varia app is seamless. Once installed, it simply works in the background without any distraction. it is a serious safety tool. For anyone who rides regularly on the road and values awareness, protection, and accountability, the Garmin Varia RCT715 is absolutely worth it. ... show more

    • What a great aid to safe riding!
Style: Varia RCT715
I really like this light/radar/camera light. Knowing what’s coming up behind you without having to look over your shoulder till you need to. It picks up anything, cars trucks, motor cycles and even other bicycle riders as they come up behind you. Great product and it works really well.

    • Great product, this is a lifesaver
Style: Varia RCT715
Great product, this is a lifesaver when biking on the road. Bright light and long lasting battery. The video recording capability is great especially if you should find yourself in a ditch after being hit by mobile phone surfing drivers

    • I was hesitant to spend the money. It's totally worth it.
Style: Varia RCT715
I am so impressed with this. I even had to upgrade from my Garmin Edge 800 to a compatible model of cycling computer (I went with the 1040 solar), so the price point of BOTH was just incredibly painful, even on sale. But I'm coming back to cycling after having taken significant time off due to health struggles and I've seen friends seriously hurt from getting hit out of the road. And I feel like in the area I live, driving manners and common sense just went to heck during the pandemic and haven't improved much. And as I am back out there, I think of those friends, and I realize I'm much older now and can't hear the cars coming up behind me as well as I used to. Or maybe I never heard them well and just benefitted from someone with great hearing in the back yelling "car!", but now I'm riding alone while I build up fitness again. And for everything I've been through with my health surprises, this is a form a self-care to invest in my safety. I don't think after getting clipped or hit from behind, I would think, gee I'm so glad I didn't spend that "x" hundred dollars! This is less than my surgical co-pay by a lot. The radar detects cars well out of my hearing range and I'd say even farther than I can turn to look behind me easily right now. I can get a sense if someone is hauling toosh as they approach me or if they're being gentle, safe and sane in their approach. If they slow down, they'll probably take care in passing too. An over the shoulder check is still appropriate but that's one point in time. This lets you see their whole approach. The tail light is very large and bright as well and has different setting for how it shines or blinks and it coordinates with your computer as well. So if you don't want to completely unclip and walk to the back of your bike to push the button to change it for different lighting conditions (coming home a bit late from a ride), you can do it on your Garmin Edge with just one foot down. (I suppose you could do it while cycling, but I can't and have strong opinions on distracted driving that make me not even want to try). In summary, this is totally worth the investment. ... show more

    • Recommend for anyone road cycling
Style: Varia RCT715
Easy to install a set up on the bicycle, mobile phone, and bicycle computer. Audible alerts are very helpful. Light is very bright and offers multiple modes. Camera could be higher resolution but still works adequately. Battery life is good for a couple rides but could be improved.

    • How did I ever survive without it?
Style: Varia RCT715
This is an expensive and valuable safety device. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money, but I'm glad I did. It works exactly as advertised, pairing seamlessly with my Garmin 1030+. Picture and video quality are excellent. It is very easy to read license numbers of cars that pass. In an actual emergency, I am confident a full description of the vehicle including the license number would be readily available. The rear light is bright, so you don't need to double up. This unit has only two shortcomings. Both are the result of the high power consumption required to run a light and radar and video camera continuously. Because the unit has a big battery, it is heavy and has a relatively short battery life: about 8 hours in my experience. So I can't recommend it for people who count every gram or who would be put off by having to recharge daily. I recommend it highly for those who put safety first, those who would enjoy the rear facing videos and pictures you can take any time, and those who would like to know how fast was that car going when it passed me? I'll point out one feature that I think is excellent, that does not get enough attention in Garmin's own advertising for this device. When you trigger a manual video, the resulting 90 second video that is saved actually begins about 45 seconds before you pushed the trigger. That means you can record bad behavior AFTER it has already happened! ... show more
