Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview Radar & Taillight
$290.00 CAD
Know What’s Coming.
The Garmin Varia RTL515 is a rearview radar that pairs with your Garmin Edge, Wahoo, or smartphone to provide visual and audible alerts for vehicles approaching from behind up to 140m away. It doesn't just watch the road for you; it makes you more visible to drivers with a powerful tail light that can be seen from up to one mile away in broad daylight.
Why the Varia RTL515 is a Game-Changer:
-
Proactive Radar Detection: Receive real-time alerts on your head unit. A colour-coded interface shows you exactly how many cars are coming and how fast they are approaching.
-
Superior Visibility: The integrated tail light features a daytime flash mode that is optimized to be seen in bright sunlight, significantly increasing your safety on busy roads.
-
Peloton Mode: If you’re riding in a group, switch to this low-intensity flash mode to provide radar protection for your friends without blinding the rider directly behind you.
-
Multiple Connectivity Options: It uses ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync seamlessly with cycling computers, compatible watches, or the Varia app on your phone.
-
Aero Design: The sleek, vertical profile is designed to mount cleanly to most seatposts, including the aerodynamic "D-shaped" posts found on modern performance bikes.

The Alegro Perspective: Once you ride with a Varia, it is incredibly hard to go back to a standard light. The peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly when a car is behind you allows you to focus on the road ahead and your own performance. It is the gold standard in cycling safety tech.
