Garmin Varia™ RVR315 Radar

Look forward, not behind!
With the GARMIN Varia™ RVR315 you can fully concentrate on the road and your training, because the smart radar watches your back in traffic. Connect the GARMIN radar with compatible smartphones, Edge computers or GARMIN wearables and receive graphic, acoustic or vibration alerts about approaching vehicles. The GARMIN Varia radar acts like your digital rear-view mirror, registering up to eight vehicles simultaneously and transmitting the data in real time to your device. This way you have an eye on the traffic behind you even on curves, can assess their speed of approach and adjust your behaviour accordingly. The slim graphic is integrated into GARMIN devices on the side of the display and for smartphones it is compatible with the free Varia app as well as many third-party apps. So you always have the traffic on your radar and don’t need to give up training or navigation features. Because which counts is that which lies before you!

Tip:
If you are interested in the radar function and also want a strong rear light, check out the Garmin RTL516 Radar with an integrated rear bike light under product code 2303599.

Note:
The device merely shows vehicles that are going faster than you. The radar is therefore not suited to keeping an eye on those following you in a race.

ATTENTION!
This device can improve situational awareness. It should not replace the cyclist’s alertness and judgment of situations. Always be aware of your surroundings and follow the rules for safe riding.
