Garmin Varia™ RTL516, bicycle radar and rear light (010-02378-00)

See and be seen - Cycling safety comes with a lightweight Garmin Varia ™ RTL516 radar and taillight with bright light of up to 20 lumens and up to 220 degrees.

The updated version of the Garmin Varia has more powerful light and support for the Varia application, with which you don't need a separate on-board computer. Its functionality in group riding has been improved and the light output can be adjusted to be less dazzling, even if you are riding in a group. The RTL516 is also a German road-approved model with no turn signal functions. The flashing light is certainly eye-catching, but in many countries it is illegal and can cause distraction or even an epileptic seizure. The direction and speed of flashing light is also more difficult to detect than fixed light.

The radar detects approaching vehicles from a distance of at least 140 meters, illuminating a bright light of up to 220 degrees and giving an audible signal to make sure you are seen in time. It is based above all on the detection of speed differences and thus is able to distinguish between drifting and slowly passing objects. Lightweight and streamlined device, it is easy to attach vertically to the bike's saddle tube and ten hours of battery life will keep you safe on the saddle for a long time.

The device requires a separate Garmin on-board computer, application, or wireless connection to compatible devices.
