    • If you ride your bicycle on the open road, this is a really useful bit of gear.
Style: Rearview Radar
If you ride your bicycle on the open road, this is a really useful bit of gear. At least it has been for me. In my experience, it does a good job of identifying vehicles approaching from behind about a city block away. The vehicle, or vehicles, are represented by a dot or dots on the side of the cycling computer screen. They move up as the vehicle approaches. With this, one can get an idea about the speed the vehicle is moving... fast or slow. I have found it to be accurate and reliable. It will also pick up other cyclists, but this is not as consistent as with larger vehicles. The radar works off of movement. If a vehicle remains at a consistent speed and distance behind you it may disappear off the radar until it changes its speed. One needs to be aware of this. Battery life is okay. Major issue is being able to monitor battery life. Not really a good way to do so with the device itself. I recommend getting the Varia app. It has an icon indicating battery life. It can also be used in lieu of a cycling computer if one doesn't have one. It does not appear to power off once disconnected from the computer, so be sure and power it down after the ride or it may be drained by the time you plan to use it again. This is my second Varia. I purchased the first one in June, 2020. It started having problems and the on/off button became worn this year so I replaced it in June 2025. Not sure if 5 years is a reasonable lifespan. Would have like to have gotten a few more. I did buy a silicone cover to help protect the button. I also like it well enough to replace it. ... show more

    • Perfect track record
Style: Rearview Radar with Tail Light
Has worked flawlessly. Integrates with Ride GPS. Has never missed an upcoming vehicle and picks up an upcoming car well before I can hear it. Audible alerts are annoying but can be shut off.

    • Greast invest for your safety
Style: Rearview Radar with Tail Light
This is the very most worthwhile investment I've made for my cycling. Used for months and never false (as far as for cases I'm aware). Battery life is great and several modes let you save battery according to scenario. It is compatible with Garmin's own computers, many third-party computers, Garmin's app, and many riding companion apps. It makes monitoring the traffic behind you way easier. It by itself is also a bright and smart rear light. A good thing go get for your safety, which is your life. ... show more

    • Works GREAT!
Style: Rearview Radar with Tail Light
After about 6 rides of more than 20+ miles each, I feel comfortable writing a review about the Garmin Varia RTL515. First, let me say that this Radar with Taillight works exactly as advertised and I can easily recommend it to any bike rider. That said, here are what I hope may be some helpful notes: - I use the radar with my iPhone 14 Pro and the associated Varia app - It took me less than 10 minutes to unpackage, mount, install the app and pair to my phone (note that for my rides my iPhone is attached to a mount on the handlebars) - Some have reported issues with the mounting hardware that comes with the device. I encountered no issues at all (installing or while riding) - Be sure to use the audible sounds and not just the visual (in other words, keep the volume on and up) - The radar detected approaching vehicles 100% of the time and about 85% sooner than my hearing did - I found the biggest benefit comes when I have to merge from the shoulder of the road out into traffic to make left hand turns or move out from a right only lane. As I have aged (now 65 years old) I don’t have the flexibility to turn around and look like I once had and this device helps in indicating if there is oncoming traffic and if there is, I can adjust my speed to slow down (or speed up) until it is clear. But make no mistake, DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE RADAR. Always use your eyes and ears! - I can say, from my limited experience, that the battery life seems solid and unless you’re doing 6+ hour rides (just my estimate), you will be fine and won’t run out of juice - Speaking of battery life, using the Varia app while using the Strava app to log my ride, I used up approximately 15% of my iPhone’s battery on a 2 hour ride My only gripe is that there is no integration with my Apple Watch. It would be very beneficial to have haptic alerts. I did find a third party app that supposedly does this but have not purchased it ($5.99). This device may not be for everyone but if you are looking for some added, reliable safety when you ride, it is worth it and, in my opinion, at a reasonable price. ... show more

    • Decent Radar.
Style: Rearview Radar with Tail Light
This Radar works really well with my Garmin Edge Explorer 2. When you power your Garmin down it puts this Radar into a sleep mode and wakes it up when Garmin powers up. Has some different light modes. Mounts with a Garmin Style mount. In Individual mode the light is on at a lower power and when it detects a car it starts flashing. This saves the most battery. It is nice to get notified when a car/s are on the approach. The only time it will cease to show a car is when both you and the car are at or near the same speed. Overall, I am very happy with it. ... show more
